Hi! I'm Vrushalee.

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MA.

⦿ Waitlist For New Clients. ⦿ Online sessions only. ⦿ Evenings.

How I work and what this means for you

In my therapy sessions, I believe relationships are at the core of your therapy process. You’ll experience a space that is safe to have candid conversations where you are free to unpack your emotions and thoughts. I create value in keeping things simple and relatable. We'll break down big problems into smaller, manageable steps. Rather than merely getting “over” negative feelings, we will work together to overcome the challenges and celebrate your progress. This is where healing occurs. No jargons or fancy words – just a down-to-earth, friendly approach to therapy.

Given your individuality, I adapt each session to meet your needs. You will be able to break free from negative patterns, start to feel capable and in control, and feel more secure in yourself and your relationships. We will explore the varied ways to understand how you and your relationships are being impacted and find the tools to build stronger meaningful relationships with yourself and people that matter to you. We will work together to heal from the hurtful experiences, rebuild your self-esteem and transform your pain into personal growth and resilience.

I also employ a holistic approach such as somatic therapy. By combining somatic therapy and body/mind approaches (such as breathing, stretches, light movements) you will uncover your innermost emotions, unwrap the chaotic thoughts and aid in unpacking their true meaning.
