About Karthika
Karthika Neduveli offers calm, practical support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and the fallout from trauma. She speaks plainly and helps clients name what feels hardest, then works with them to take small, useful steps forward. Karthika brings ten years of clinical experience in Australia and holds ACA credentialing, which informs her work style.
Her approach centres on the person in front of her. Karthika listens without rushing and uses client-centred methods to follow each person's priorities.
How Karthika works
She draws on mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that match their values. When trauma, abandonment or attachment issues are present, she includes trauma-focused and attachment-based perspectives to better understand reactions and safety needs. Sessions are paced to suit each person and to reduce overwhelm while addressing difficult memories and feelings.
Karthika also works with issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and codependency, and she helps people cope with major life changes such as separation or grief. Practical tools and mindfulness exercises are offered alongside space to process emotions. The first meetings focus on establishing goals and a working plan.
Over time she supports clients to build clearer boundaries, reduce avoidance, and strengthen everyday coping. Karthika aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to daily life.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; online sessions can include exercises to notice thoughts and plan value-based actions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions, which can be explored in conversation and reflective exercises during sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the hold of traumatic memories, using gentle pacing and grounding techniques suitable for remote work.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Karthika works collaboratively to decide what methods suit each person's goals, preferences and current needs. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made or circumstances change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video sessions allow visual connection for in-depth work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy lives or when travel is difficult, while keeping the focus on practical strategies and emotional processing.
