Description

Hi, I'm Aishwarya John, a Counselling Psychologist based in Bangalore with experience across EAP counselling, clinical settings, and private practice. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals ranging from minors to older adults across neuropsychiatric hospitals, multidisciplinary mental health organisations, and through online counselling platforms serving clients across diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds globally. My experience includes supporting individuals navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, work-life balance, boundary setting in interpersonal relationships, workplace difficulties, identity-related concerns, and other emotional and personal challenges. Working across varied clinical and digital settings has given me a grounded understanding of how differently these experiences can show up depending on a person's context, culture, and stage of life. My approach to counselling is warm, curious, and non-judgmental, with a genuine focus on creating a space where individuals feel safe enough to be honest, with me and with themselves. I work primarily within a CBT and EFT framework, integrating SFBT when a more goal-oriented approach serves the client better. I believe that good therapy is never one-size-fits-all, and I adapt my approach based on what each person actually needs rather than applying a fixed formula. I also believe in viewing mental health holistically, recognising that emotional, relational, occupational, and physical wellbeing are deeply interconnected. Rather than focusing narrowly on a presenting concern, I aim to help individuals develop greater self-awareness, healthier coping strategies, and a more sustainable relationship with themselves and the people around them. Having conducted 250+ counselling sessions, my goal is to support individuals in understanding themselves better, navigating life's challenges, and working towards meaningful, lasting change. If you feel ready to take that first step, I would be glad to walk alongside you.
