About Me

Hi! I'm Harshika. Founder of Ekya Counselling Center & Counselling Psychologist in Bangalore, India. I also cater to clients globally through online therapy. Presently, I have clients from Germany, the US, Canada, the Netherlands and Australia. I've been practicing for 11 years. As a person, I'm warm but firm. I'm compassionate but straightforward, and I will hold your space through all the difficult for as long as you need and in all the ways you need. I speak Tamil, Hindi and English. Hence, please feel free to speak to me in your regional language. I don't believe in "homework", but I do believe in helping you "come home to yourself.' That's exactly what we'll do in our therapy sessions. I look forward to being a part of your healing journey.

Approach

I use Expressive Arts, Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Therapies in my practice. As and when needed, I research and work with other therapy modalities as well. Expressive Ars Therapy will help build your emotional regulation skills along with supporting you to express your deepest thoughts and concerns. Once that words can't help with. I use Art, Movement, Music & Stories. I complement this with Narrative Therapy which works with your own story, narration and reflective questions that'll help change any debilitating narrative to the actual real narrative. This will also help us identify the short term and long term goals we need to work with. The Cognitive Therapies of CBT, REBT, DBT, ACT and SFBT will help with breaking the generational patterns and building new healthier ones. This is my approach. A balance of holding space and helping you find your way back to yourself.
