Smruthy has a passion for simplifying the idea of mental health, and has extensive experience working with adolescents and adults, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTIQA+ and neurodiverse clients. Smruthy employs a person-centred and collaborative approach to therapy. Her practice is empathetic, culturally-responsive and trauma-informed, enabling her to be aware of the intersectionality of our lives. She is interested in helping individuals achieve well-being goals, address the impacts of trauma, and adapt to life transitions. Therapy can be personal, political, and psychosocial.

The ethos of her therapeutic skills aligns with evidence-based and post-modern therapies using a trauma-informed, feminist, and anti-oppression lens. Her practice is integrative, drawing from Narrative therapy, Schema therapy, Dialectical Behavior therapy, Positive Psychology, Emotion focused and Cognitive Behavioural therapies including mindfulness.
The therapeutic relationship can be a space to safely and bravely process experiences and gain insights. This space is for people who want to talk through life transitions, explore their identity or seek therapy for mental health conditions. Smruthy also works in policy analysis & practice development focusing on mental health and multicultural communities.
