About Aaradhya Srivastava
Aaradhya Srivastava creates a space where people who feel disconnected or unheard can begin to make sense of the patterns that shape their lives. She understands how painful memories, stress, and anxiety can continue to influence present-day feelings and relationships, and she frames therapy as a process that starts with forming a trusting connection - a place where a person can show up as they are, including the parts that feel messy or difficult to name.
In sessions, Aaradhya offers an empathic, non-judgmental environment for exploring how past experiences and unconscious dynamics inform reactions, behaviours, and relationships. She encourages curiosity about personal responses to people and situations, and she works collaboratively to gently investigate the experiences that may be influencing how someone moves through the world.
Clients come to Aaradhya for support with stress, anxiety, family and relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also has experience addressing issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence, family of origin concerns, and forgiveness. Her work with survivors of sexual violence at the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre has particularly informed her appreciation for the importance of being heard and acknowledged while processing how traumatic experiences affect both mind and body.
Aaradhya’s practice integrates client-centered and psychodynamic methods with a trauma-informed lens. The psychodynamic approach helps explore how early relationships and unconscious processes shape current difficulties, while a relational focus uses the therapeutic relationship itself as a space to examine patterns in relating to self and others. She adapts the pace and style of therapy to each individual, aiming for a collaborative process that meets clients where they are.
She is credentialed in the United Kingdom, is a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and is COSCA-qualified, which reflects training recognised in Scotland. Aaradhya holds a Master of Counselling (Interpersonal Dialogue) and an MSc in Counselling Studies, both from the University of Edinburgh. She offers therapy in English and Hindi and works with both UK-based and international clients.
