Aaradhya Srivastava, BACP

Aaradhya Srivastava offers a calm, person-focused approach to therapy. She draws on Client-Centred and psychodynamic ways of working to help people feel heard and seen. Sessions aim to make confusing feelings easier to understand. Aaradhya speaks English and Hindi and works with people across the United Kingdom and beyond.

She starts by building a steady working relationship where people can bring whatever feels difficult. The work often looks at how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships. That can include looking at family of origin issues, attachment wounds, and patterns that cause stress or anxiety.

In practical terms she helps people make sense of trauma, abuse, caregiving strain, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, body image concerns, and problems around communication and commitment. Sessions may include reflecting on feelings, linking present difficulties to past events, and developing small changes to how someone copes day to day.

Aaradhya has three years of experience and has worked with survivors of sexual violence at a rape crisis centre. That experience influenced how she listens for what has been left out of a person’s story and how traumatic memories affect the body and relationships.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. The counselling process is collaborative and moves at a pace that suits each person.

How psychodynamic and client-centred work translates online

Aaradhya uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person in front of her. This approach means listening closely and reflecting back what someone says so they can feel understood and think through their own solutions. It suits people who want a supportive space to name feelings and gain clarity.

She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how early experiences shape current patterns. That involves gently tracing links between past relationships and present worries, which can help with issues like attachment, family of origin problems, and repeating relationship patterns.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Aaradhya aims to decide collaboratively which approach or mix of approaches will best meet each person's needs, goals and preferences. She encourages open conversation about pace, focus and what feels most helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around a busy life, avoiding travel time and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can work effectively online, and many people find it easier to attend consistently when sessions fit into their day.
