About Kritika
Kritika Kad is an ACA counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship challenges. She also supports parents, people rebuilding self-esteem, and those coping with big life changes. She works in English and Hindi and practises in Australia.
Kritika draws on a compassionate, client-centred style. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals and small steps to reach them.
How Kritika works
Her experience includes four years of face-to-face counselling and work with people from different cultural backgrounds. That background informs how she approaches immigration and multicultural concerns. Communication and family problems are common topics she helps people talk through.
Kritika often focuses on improving communication skills, building self-love, and easing social anxiety. She helps people develop coping strategies for workplace stress and day-to-day pressures. Sessions can include short exercises, thought work and behavioural changes that fit into a person’s life.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Clients can expect a respectful space where their concerns guide the pace and focus. The aim is clearer thinking, stronger coping, and more confidence in handling challenges.
If someone is ready to start, Kritika supports practical next steps so therapy becomes a manageable part of life.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Many people find brief, structured techniques helpful for stress and anxiety. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple experiments or journalling, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Behavioural strategies involve small, planned activities to build confidence and ease social anxiety or phobias.For relationship, parenting and self-esteem concerns, practical skill-building is often used. This includes communication practice, role-play or rehearsing new ways of responding, and setting realistic self-care routines. These tools are aimed at day-to-day changes you can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and jointly decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor techniques and the pace of change to each person.
Online formats offer flexibility for different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels easier. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing support, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and varied schedules.
