With over 700 hours of direct psychotherapy experience, Daksha’s approach is both evidence-based and deeply personal, tailored to the unique needs of every client.
Daksha believes that the therapeutic relationship itself is central to healing. She values creating a safe, validating, and reassuring space for clients while also being mindful of when and how much to provide validation and reassurance. By carefully balancing empathy with therapeutic boundaries, she helps clients feel understood while fostering their own strength and agency.
Her therapeutic style places strong emphasis on attachment, relational healing, and creating corrective emotional experiences. She integrates experiential, cognitive, behavioral and emotion focused techniques to help clients. She offers depth-oriented healing that supports long-term change.
In addition, Daksha is trained during her MPhil journey in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Schema Therapy. She actively practices mindfulness herself and brings this presence into her therapeutic work, helping clients develop resilience, self-compassion, and emotional balance.
At the heart of her work, Daksha believes therapy is not just about reducing symptoms but about healing, growth, and fostering resilience. She brings warmth, curiosity, and compassion into the therapy room, helping clients explore their inner world and build meaningful, lasting change.read less
