About Aaradhya
Aaradhya Srivastava offers a warm, relational approach that centres on building a trusting connection first. She uses psychodynamic ideas alongside client-centred ways of working to help people feel heard and understood. Sessions aim to make sense of present difficulties and how past experiences shape current reactions.
Aaradhya helps people talk through stress and anxiety in everyday language. She supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, and people coping with life changes or caring responsibilities.
How Aaradhya works
She also works with concerns such as self-esteem, family problems, attachment and abandonment worries, and body image issues. Her background includes work at the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, which shaped her understanding of the importance of being acknowledged and listened to after sexual violence. That experience influenced how she notices the ways memories and trauma live in the body and mind.
She brings that awareness into sessions while remaining gentle and attentive. In practice, psychodynamic work looks at how earlier relationships and unconscious patterns affect present feelings and behaviour. Client-centred work focuses on meeting people where they are and creating a respectful, non-judgmental space.
Aaradhya describes therapy as a collaborative process that moves at the client’s pace. She holds BACP membership, and trained in counselling and psychotherapy at the University of Edinburgh. Sessions are offered in English and Hindi, and she works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Online support options
How psychodynamic and client-centred work translate online
Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier relationships and hidden patterns affect how someone feels and behaves now. Online sessions give space to notice recurring themes, emotional reactions and relational patterns while talking through memories and current experiences.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and meeting the person where they are. Online formats allow for a calm, person-focused conversation where the client decides the pace and the topics that matter most to them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aaradhya will work collaboratively to identify whether psychodynamic reflection, client-centred support, or a mix of both best suits the person’s needs and goals. This is decided together and can change over time as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are useful for in-depth dialogue and non-verbal cues, phone sessions are helpful when a simpler check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit brief check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping continuity of care.
