Vishni Abirami - Counselling Psychologist

Hey, I’m Vishni, a psychologist and early years practitioner with a deep interest in how the mind, body, and emotions connect. My journey in therapy has been shaped by working with children, parents, and adults navigating anxiety, chronic illness, neurodivergence, and the quiet stresses of everyday life. Over the years, I’ve also worked with geriatric clients and families dealing with medical conditions — where healing often means finding calm even when circumstances can’t be changed. My approach is eclectic and evidence-based, drawing from somatic practices, CBT, play therapy, schema-focused work, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” it’s about walking alongside you as we understand what peace, strength, and clarity mean for *you*. Every session is a space where we slow down, breathe, and gently uncover the patterns, emotions, and stories that shape us. Through my work, I’ve seen that healing doesn’t always look dramatic — sometimes it’s as simple as feeling understood, or learning to be kinder to yourself on hard days. Together, we’ll learn to listen to your body, reframe your thoughts, and reconnect with the parts of you that already know how to heal. Because we don’t have to do all of it alone, we were never meant to.
