Hi, I’m Vaishali.

For 14 years I have sat with people through anxiety, depression, anger, addiction and the long road of chronic illness — with parents and children finding their way together, and with older adults and the families who care for them. My work draws on REBT, CBT, person-centred and Gestalt therapy, and on yoga therapy, because mind and body heal together. Swayam means “self”: my hope is that you leave each session a little more able to care for yourself.
