Hi, I’m Vani, and I’m here to support you—whether you’re processing the past, navigating the present, or planning for the future. With a background in psychology and counselling, I take a down-to-earth, client-focused approach. My experience includes working with diverse communities, from volunteering with Bluebird Pluho to establishing a counselling unit at an international high school and working in private practice. I support clients through anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions, creating a safe space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.
I use a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My approach is tailored to each individual, providing a safe and affirming space to navigate identity, relationships, and emotional well-being while building resilience and meaningful change.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps, you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy is a space to show up as you are—no judgment, just support and understanding. Whether you're navigating life changes, emotional struggles, or seeking clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you. Reach out when you’re ready—I’d love to connect.
