Poonam

Ms Poonam Srivastava

Psychotherapist

“I have a strong desire and sensitivity to provide the best care for my clients.”

About Me

I approach each session with a strong desire and sensitivity, focused on providing the best care. As a psychotherapist, I offer a thoughtful, supportive space where we can explore your experiences. We might gently unpack challenging feelings, helping you gain clarity and new perspectives. This sensitive, client-centred approach suits those seeking a deeply understanding and compassionate guide.

Approach

With a careful attentiveness to each person's experience, I focus on how we move through the work together—mindful, paced, and responsive to what feels most useful in the moment. In Sydney and online, in English, sessions blend reflective listening with on-the-spot tools and gentle tracking of patterns across relationships, mood and cultural context; assessments help shape practical steps and homework that feel manageable. Between sessions you may try small experiments or skills, then we review what changed. This way suits people seeking steady, collaborative progress.
