About Us

About me

Vidhi Maheshwari

I sincerely believe that each individual has the power to heal from the past, live in the present, and shape their future. Our lives are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves and the key to living a fuller and wholesome life lives within ourselves. Stress, negative patterns of thinking, unhealthy behaviors, and poor coping mechanisms are a few of the things that hamper growth and healing.

 

My approach to therapy primarily focuses on the connection between recurring thoughts and behaviors. The aim is to identify and change faulty thought patterns with more positive and objective thoughts. I recognize that each client comes with a unique experience that does not fit one box and approach to therapy. As a client-centered therapist, I adopt an eclectic approach to therapy that is firmly rooted in building rapport, unconditional positive regard, and establishing empathetic connections. 

 

I am a receptive and compassionate listener. I strive to foster a non-judgmental and safe space for clients to establish a positive alliance that best fits their needs and concerns. In addition to my clinical work, I am an avid yoga and meditation practitioner which allows me to incorporate mindfulness-based techniques and tools in my work. 

Our Philosophy

Every person starts with a blank canvas in life. Our unique experiences shape our emotions, creating an intricate tapestry within. Some experiences may add darker shades, while others bring vibrant colours. When we reflect on this, we realise that we hold the power to change the colours on our canvas. It’s all about looking inward and discovering our potential.

Mental health is a journey and I am here to walk this journey with you.
