Hi, I’m Ridhima, a counselling psychologist who offers an open, collaborative space to explore the parts of life that feel heavy, confusing, or stuck. I work closely with themes of attachment, self-worth, anxiety, boundaries, and grief, holding space for what often goes unspoken. My approach is trauma-informed, reflective, and integrative drawing from Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I don’t believe in rushing the process; I believe in creating space for honest, layered work that honours your pace and lived experience. Therapy with me is about making room for all parts of you, even the ones we’ve been taught to hide.
