About Me

Hello! I’m Kavya, a counselling psychologist based in Hyderabad. I hold a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and have four years of experience working with adults (ages 18–40). My approach is eclectic, queer affirmative, trauma-informed, and guided by a feminist lens that considers the impact of systemic structures on individual well-being. I aim to offer a space where you feel heard, supported, and safe to untangle the complexities of life with compassion. I speak Telugu and English, and can communicate briefly in Hindi. Outside of therapy, I enjoy engaging in arts and share my home with an anxious, affectionate dog.

Approach

You’ll find sessions that balance curiosity with steady grounding, where we gently explore what matters and track the small shifts you notice. Based in Hyderabad, I offer online appointments in English, Telugu and Hindi, keeping pacing adaptable to your day-to-day needs. Sessions blend reflective listening, somatic grounding and practical experiments between meetings so ideas become lived practice rather than just insight. Folks seeking an affirming, safety-focused collaboration often find this steady, hands-on way of working helpful.
