Aaradhya Srivastava offers a calm, listening presence rooted in psychodynamic and client-centred approaches. She aims to build a trusting relationship where people can name painful memories, stress, and anxiety without judgement. Her style is gentle and curious, helping people feel seen and understood as they begin to make changes.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self‑esteem and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing family and family of origin problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, and issues around communication and commitment.

Background and approach

Other areas include body image, caregiver stress, dissociation, domestic violence and fatherhood issues. Aaradhya draws on three years of practice and work with survivors of sexual violence at the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre. That experience shaped her understanding of how trauma can remain in the body and affect relationships and self‑view.

She uses that insight to listen for the unspoken patterns behind current difficulties. Her psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences shape present reactions and relationships. The client‑centred side means she follows each person’s pace and priorities, offering empathy and acceptance while you explore difficult feelings.

Sessions are offered in English and Hindi and she sees people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Aaradhya is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds postgraduate counselling degrees from the University of Edinburgh.

How psychodynamic and client‑centred work adapts to online therapy

Psychodynamic work helps uncover how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape how someone feels and behaves today; online sessions can be a place to notice recurring themes and relationship patterns in conversation. Client‑centred therapy focuses on empathetic listening and following the person’s priorities; that approach fits well with different remote formats because it centres the person's experience rather than a set agenda.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to agree what feels most useful, reviewing progress and changing direction when needed. Decisions about pace and focus are made together so sessions feel manageable and relevant to personal goals.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for easier, shorter check‑ins. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need quick access between sessions, or want a less formal way to reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping continuity of care.
