Devika Dhadhal

Devika listens to both what is said and what lies beneath the words - the emotions, stories and meanings that shape behaviour. Sessions are shaped around each person’s pace and strengths rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

She aims to help people reconnect with their own capacity for change and build practical coping skills. Her work covers relationship concerns, parenting challenges, anger, attention difficulties and a wide range of emotional struggles such as anxiety, low mood and self-esteem.

She also supports people dealing with trauma responses, isolation, life transitions and questions of purpose. Devika draws on several therapeutic approaches when they suit a person’s goals.

She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns, and client-centred conversation to make space for a person’s experience. Sessions may also include elements from Jungian and mindfulness work when helpful.

People who come to Devika often want clear, practical steps alongside space to reflect. She works collaboratively to set goals, try small changes and review what helps.

Her style is warm, straightforward and focused on everyday solutions that fit into real life.
