Background and approach

She mixes mindset work with concrete strategies so clients leave with ideas they can try between sessions. Her background spans two decades of client work in Australia, where she has helped people navigate burnout, self‑esteem struggles and midlife questions. Karishma pays attention to how attachment, communication and past patterns shape current difficulties.

She also supports those dealing with body image concerns, chronic illness, eating issues and the ripple effects of domestic violence. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person. Karishma asks practical questions and offers techniques to manage anxiety, improve communication and clarify values.

She encourages clients to reconnect with what matters and to experiment with change in manageable steps. Sessions are offered in English and Hindi. Karishma works online using a range of formats so people can fit counselling around work and family life.

Her PACFA credential is noted as part of her professional background.

Practical approaches for online support

Karishma uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on real life change. One common approach emphasises mindset work and skill building to reduce anxious thinking and improve day‑to‑day coping. This helps when worry or rumination gets in the way of sleep, concentration or work performance.

She also draws on communication and attachment‑informed ways of working to improve how people relate to others. These methods look at patterns in relationships, teach clearer ways to express needs, and help repair cycles of misunderstanding or blame.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karishma works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt techniques as needs change over time.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports short check‑ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options help people fit counselling around work, family and other commitments.
