About Karthika
Karthika Neduveli is an ACA counsellor with ten years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She frames the work around each person's strengths and supports them to take small, practical steps toward change. Her style is warm and encouraging, aimed at helping people feel steadier in day-to-day life.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods. She uses straightforward tools to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings, and to choose actions that match their values.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building skills people can use between meetings, not only in the room. Karthika also works from an attachment lens, which helps when past relationships shape how someone responds to stress or rejection. That perspective is useful for concerns like abandonment, codependency and attachment issues.
She combines that with client-centred listening so people feel heard while practical strategies are offered. She has supported people through a wide range of challenges, including chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and the emotional fallout of separation or domestic violence. Karthika aims to help people reduce overwhelm and reconnect with activities that matter to them.
In sessions she will collaborate on goals, check progress, and adjust techniques to suit each person's needs. The focus is on clear, doable steps and on building confidence to manage setbacks in the future.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that fit their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and for regaining motivation. Trauma-Focused Therapy involves carefully processing distressing memories and learning grounding skills to reduce overwhelming reactions; it can help with symptoms following abuse or other traumatic events.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Karthika will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and comfort level. She checks in about what is working and adapts methods when life circumstances or progress suggest a different path.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be convenient during a work break. Text and live chat suit shorter check-ins or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit regular work on anxiety and coping skills into a busy life.
