Hi, I’m Malavika - my clients call me Mal.
You may feel stretched thin—giving a lot, overextending, and finding it hard to shift familiar patterns. Anxiety, life transitions, relationship struggles and family expectations can leave you feeling unsteady. Maybe life hasn’t turned out as you imagined, and you’re trying to make sense of where you are now.
In our work, we’ll gently get curious about your experiences—especially those that leave you feeling disconnected or unsure how to respond. We can look at what keeps coming up and find new ways to respond, so things feel easier in your relationships, work and day-to-day life.
My approach is collaborative, culturally attuned and grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship. Using mindfulness, attachment-informed work, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I integrate practical strategies and insight to help you navigate emotions and improve relationship —so you can feel more balanced and connected.
Reaching out isn’t always easy—I’m really glad you’re here. My aim is to create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and explore what’s coming up—without judgment.
When you feel safe, real change starts to feel possible.
If something here resonates, I invite you to reach out. We can take the next steps together.
