Ms Akshaya Ashokan

Counseling Psychologist

“I am a counselling psychologist from Bangalore. My work is focused on counselling individuals, groups or families to help them understand problems, define goals and develop realistic action plans. I specialize in providing psychological guidance, emotional wellness, anxiety stress and anger management.”

About Me

I offer psychological guidance to individuals, groups, and families. My focus is helping you understand problems, define goals, and develop realistic action plans. We work together to manage anxiety, stress, and anger effectively, fostering greater emotional wellness. This collaborative, practical approach is ideal for anyone seeking concrete strategies for lasting personal change.

Approach

Sessions focus on translating insight into small, practical steps, with goals set by you and measured against simple checkpoints. I see people in Bangalore and work online, offering therapy in English, Kannada, Malayalam and Tamil so sessions fit your life. In-session we use focused conversation, gentle experiential tasks such as drawing or role-play, brief skill practice and clear psychoeducation, with short between-session exercises to build momentum. This paced, hands-on way tends to suit adolescents and adults navigating transitions, trauma, addiction or persistent stress.
