About Srijana
Srijana Darnal helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and low self-esteem. She is an AASW accredited social worker with seven years of professional experience. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make the first step into therapy easier to take.
Srijana creates a space where a person can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on listening first, then finding practical ways to manage symptoms and cope with life changes.
How Srijana works
She works at a pace that suits each person and pays attention to what matters most to them. Her experience includes supporting people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders and the fallout from abuse. Srijana also helps with attachment and abandonment wounds, body image, guilt and shame, and problems with communication and isolation.
She frames work around day-to-day steps that improve functioning and emotional balance. Srijana values collaborative goals and encourages small, steady progress. Conversations may include strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and rebuild self-worth.
She explains ideas plainly and uses practical exercises people can try between sessions. People can expect a respectful, compassionate counsellor who focuses on clear next steps. The aim is to leave therapy with tools that fit life and a clearer sense of direction and purpose.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online care
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on managing symptoms and building coping skills. For example, cognitive-based approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative responses; these methods are useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Trauma-focused work concentrates on reducing the impact of past abuse and on skills for grounding and emotional regulation, which can help with post-traumatic stress and overwhelming reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, symptoms and preferences and suggest strategies that suit your situation. Together you can try ideas, review what helps, and adjust the plan as you go so the work fits your life.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets you check in between calls, and messaging supports shorter reflections or ongoing tracking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or family commitments while keeping continuity of care with an appropriately qualified therapist.
