She invites clients to talk about what feels most pressing and practical right now. Srijana aims to make the conversation easy to follow. She listens for patterns that keep problems returning.
Background and approach
Then she helps people try small changes that can make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Sessions focus on clear steps rather than jargon. People often come to her worried about isolation, relationship worries, body image or feeling stuck after a big life change.
She also supports those dealing with shame, guilt, attachment worries and questions about life purpose. She works with mood disorders and post-traumatic stress concerns in a paced, respectful way. Her sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
She helps clients notice how thoughts and behaviours interact and practises new ways of coping together in the session. Practical strategies and simple tools are offered that can be used between appointments. Srijana works in Australia and conducts sessions in English.
She recognises that starting therapy can feel difficult and aims to make the first steps as clear and kind as possible.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Many clients find practical, evidence-based techniques helpful when managing anxiety and trauma. One common approach focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce distress and improve mood; it helps with panic attacks, social anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasises grounding and safety skills to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress and intense anxiety; it teaches simple steps to calm the body and focus attention. These methods are presented in clear, step-by-step ways and practised during sessions so people can use them between appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try together. This is collaborative - adjustments are made as needed so the plan fits your life and what you want to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper interaction is wanted. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, brief coping check-ins or people who prefer writing over talking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep progressing between face-to-face meetings.
