About Karishma
Karishma Chandiramani is a PACFA counsellor with more than 22 years supporting people through confusing and stressful life phases. She helps clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about the next step. Her style is calm and practical, aimed at helping people regain clarity and move forward.
Karishma often works with people facing career crossroads, relationship strain, anxiety, burnout and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, and big life transitions.
How Karishma works
Her practice covers a wide range of everyday struggles, from communication problems to questions of purpose. Sessions focus on listening first, then on practical steps that fit a person’s life. She uses mindset work, life skills and conversational tools to help people test new ways of thinking and behaving.
The aim is to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Karishma values a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely. She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and offers guidance, perspective and occasional gentle challenges.
Small shifts in thought and action are treated as real progress. Her approach is grounded in real-world solutions and steady support. People leave sessions with clearer priorities and doable plans.
Karishma speaks English and Hindi and practises from Australia, bringing two decades of hands-on experience to each conversation.

Practical approaches and online therapy options
Karishma works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking patterns and practical change. One common approach is mindset work, which looks at unhelpful thoughts and helps people try new ways of thinking. This can reduce anxiety and make decisions feel clearer. Another typical strand is skills-based coaching, which teaches communication, stress management and coping strategies for everyday life. These techniques help with burnout, relationship difficulties and workplace stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest a way forward. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust methods together so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, written reflections or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
