Introduction

Sindhiya is a therapist who brings a warm, grounded, and practical approach to therapy. Having worked in corporate environments herself, she understands the pressures that can come with demanding work cultures and the impact they can have on your emotional wellbeing, relationships, and everyday functioning.

Her approach is integrative, drawing from CBT, DBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dance/Movement Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Transactional Analysis, and Psychodynamic frameworks. She adapts the structure of therapy to what you need—using practical, goal-oriented strategies when you want to work on a specific concern, while making more room for emotional exploration when deeper patterns need attention. She also incorporates body awareness, grounding, and somatic techniques when they can help you regulate difficult emotions or connect with experiences that are hard to put into words.

Sindhiya works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, self-esteem, trauma, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and relationship-related difficulties. She has experience supporting clients through trauma, including sexual trauma, and works with queer clients in individual therapy. She is also experienced in supporting people through pregnancy and postpartum concerns, particularly the overwhelm, self-doubt, emotional difficulties, and changes in daily life that can accompany this period.

If you're looking for a therapist who combines practical tools with deeper emotional work, while keeping therapy grounded in your day-to-day life, Sindhiya might be a good fit.
