Dr Visalakshi Sridhar

Counseling Psychologist

“A therapist with an experience of 20 years, and passionate about making a difference in people's lives.”

About Me

As a Counseling Psychologist with 20 years' experience, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's complexities. I aim to create a truly supportive space where you can explore your concerns openly, without judgment. We can work together to understand your unique challenges, finding grounded insights and practical ways forward. This collaborative approach is ideal for those ready to make meaningful changes and build a more fulfilling life. I use an integrative approach, and provide a queer affirmative, trauma and feminist informed space.

Approach

With twenty years of practice behind me, I focus on how we move from understanding to small, steady changes that feel doable. In sessions in Mumbai or online, in English, Tamil, Hindi or Marathi, I listen for patterns in behaviour and relationship rhythms, then gently structure work that blends practical steps with reflective moments. You can expect clear pacing, focused experiments and techniques you can use between meetings, and regular check-ins on what’s shifting. This way of working suits adolescents, adults and couples ready for collaborative, realistic progress.
