About Aaradhya

Aaradhya Srivastava is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic and client-centred approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She creates a calm, accepting space where people can talk about painful memories, difficult feelings, and life changes. Aaradhya aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship so people can feel heard and gradually make sense of their experiences.

She focuses on understanding how past events shape present reactions and relationships. Sessions often look at patterns that feel familiar but unhelpful, such as attachment wounds, abandonment fears, or difficulties with trust and connection.

Background and approach

This can help people notice why they respond the way they do in relationships and daily life. Aaradhya has worked with people experiencing trauma and sexual violence, and that experience has shaped her sensitive approach. She also supports people dealing with workplace strain, caregiver stress, low self-esteem, body image concerns, and major life transitions.

Her work includes addressing dissociation, family of origin issues, and problems around communication or commitment. She brings three years of professional experience and holds BACP membership, which is noted as her credential. Aaradhya offers sessions in English and Hindi and accepts international clients who can join from other countries.

Therapy sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How psychodynamic and client-centred work online

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and hidden patterns shape current feelings and relationships. Online sessions can be used to notice repeating themes, attachment patterns, and responses that feel automatic, then reflect on how they affect daily life.

Client-centred therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and on building a trusting relationship. In this approach the counsellor offers empathy and acceptance while helping people explore their feelings and make choices that matter to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aaradhya will discuss the ways of working with each person and agree together which approach or mix fits best. This is a collaborative process, shaped by your goals, needs and preferences rather than a fixed formula.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit short check-ins. Live chat and messaging offer flexibility for people who prefer writing or need to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and at times that work around everyday life.
