A Little About Me

I’m Vidhi — a PACFA Clinical Counsellor and psychotherapist. I work with adults navigating life transitions, identity shifts, unspoken grief, relationship changes, and coping patterns including substance use. I offer therapy with presence, care, and deep respect for the stories we carry silently.
I’ve lived across three countries. I’ve moved through a significant career change — leaving behind a professional identity I’d spent years building to start again in a field that felt closer to who I actually am.

I know what it is to grieve a career, to feel internally disoriented while appearing outwardly fine, and to long for a sense of belonging in unfamiliar spaces. I know what it is to arrive at a version of your life that looks nothing like the one you planned — and find that it fits better anyway.

That’s not a detour. It’s exactly why I do this work.

I offer sessions in English, Hindi, Gujarati, and am semi-fluent in Marathi. If trauma‑informed work, identity, or belonging are part of your story, you can explore these focus areas on the Services.

My Background & Training

I hold a Master of Psychotherapy & Counselling and am a PACFA Clinical Counsellor with five years in practice. Alongside my private practice, I currently work as a specialist drug and alcohol counsellor supporting adults through dependence, recovery, harm reduction, and the complexity underneath the use. That clinical grounding informs how I approach all the work, not only with clients who name substance use as a concern.

I know what it is to carry something quietly. To feel internally disoriented while appearing outwardly fine. To live between versions of yourself – the one you were, the one you’re becoming, and the one you’re not sure you’re allowed to be yet.

My approach is relational, reflective, and integrative drawing on EMDR, person-centred therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed frameworks. I work under regular clinical supervision and continue deepening my practice through ongoing professional development.

Healing doesn’t begin with a label. It begins when you feel safe enough to stop performing.

What Therapy Feels Like Here
