What Is Online Therapy And Does It Work?
Online therapy involves having a video, phone, or text messaging session with a therapist (also known as a psychologist) instead of a traditional face to face one. Many people are now choosing to connect with a therapist in this way from the comfort and privacy of their own home or a place of their choosing. Research suggests that online therapy is just as effective as face to face therapy.
No matter where in the world you live, if you have a computer or other device with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and can speak English, then you can access my online therapy services.
A Little Bit About Me
I am an Indian born, Australian trained Clinical Psychologist. I have a warm, gentle, caring, non-judgemental, and compassionate approach. I am registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) but my online therapy services are accessible to anyone around the world.
I have 10+ years of experience in assisting clients with a range of presentations. I draw upon evidence-based psychological research and my own personal understandings around what facilitates healing to provide only the highest quality psychological services that help my clients to regain a personal and meaningful sense of wellness back into their life.
My specialised training allows me to treat clients with a range of mental health presentations across the lifespan. My Indian background complements my therapeutic practice by allowing me to connect with people from various cultural backgrounds.

What Makes Me Different
While I grew up in the western culture, I had a very traditional family upbringing. I've also lived in a few different areas of the world. My unique experiences allow me to both relate to, and support people from around the world, raised in different cultures and family dynamics.
Therapy is a very personal experience and I recognise that each person has had a different life journey and, therefore, have unique needs. I care about your voice and gaining a deep understanding of your perspective of your life experiences so far, so that I can provide therapy that suits your unique needs. I am passionate about helping you to get back on a path on which you feel empowered over your mental health and life in general, and are able to recover a sense of wellness. I genuinely believe that this is the only way for the benefits you experience through therapy to last beyond the therapy 'room' and for the long run.
I appreciate it's not easy to open up to someone you don't know about your personal and private matters. I endeavour to make therapy a safe space for you, and your experience of therapy as comfortable for you as possible.

“Pri is a really benevolent and empathic psychologist. She listens to you properly and knows exactly how to be helpful. She makes you able to think by yourself. Thank you Pri!"
Jo E., Belgium
"I have always been doubtful about psychologists... And Priyanka knew how to convince me of the usefulness of being listened to. I have met Priyanka an hour per month and time after time we trusted each other. She is now the little voice on my shoulder helping me on every situation."
Karen G., Australia
“I was struggling a lot with my grief. I felt really heard and understood by Priyanka. I felt safe with her and was able to open up in a way I haven't been able to open up to someone else. I'm doing so much better now and I can't thank her enough."
