Ms. Arushi Srivastava is a Counselling Psychologist at Psych Therapy with over two years of clinical experience. Her style is collaborative and conversational: the aim is to help clients feel able to talk openly, ask questions and understand what they are working on in therapy. She has worked across diverse clinical settings and supports people with a range of emotional and psychological concerns.
A trained Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) practitioner, Ms. Arushi integrates mindfulness-based techniques with evidence-based therapeutic approaches. She helps clients build psychological flexibility, navigate difficult emotions, and make changes that align with what matters to them.
Ms. Arushi believes therapy should not feel like being judged or analysed. She works alongside clients to understand their experiences, notice patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and find practical ways forward at a pace that feels manageable.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a psychological approach that helps people respond more flexibly to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions guided by their values. Ms. Arushi uses ACT principles to help clients reduce unhelpful struggle with internal experiences and build meaningful patterns of action.
When worry, overthinking or emotional overload starts taking up too much mental space, even ordinary days can feel tiring. Ms. Arushi helps clients understand factors that may be contributing to anxiety and stress and develop practical coping strategies.
Relationship counselling is therapy focused on understanding interpersonal patterns, communication, boundaries, conflict, and emotional needs. Ms. Arushi supports individuals and couples with communication difficulties, trust concerns, attachment patterns, breakups, and boundary-setting.
Low self-worth, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and identity concerns can affect many areas of life. Therapy can help clients build self-awareness, confidence, emotional resilience, and a healthier relationship with themselves.
Past experiences can influence present-day emotions, relationships, and coping patterns. Ms. Arushi provides support for people processing grief, trauma-related concerns, and significant life events.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Ms. Arushi adapts the work to the person’s goals, context, and pace.
Her work may integrate:
| Approach | Typical focus |
|---|---|
| ACT | Building psychological flexibility and taking values-guided action while making room for difficult internal experiences. |
| CBT | Understanding links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours and developing more helpful coping patterns. |
| Solution-Focused Brief Therapy | Clarifying preferred outcomes, strengths, resources, and practical next steps. |
The approach used in therapy depends on the client’s needs and goals rather than on a single fixed method.
Ms. Arushi works with individuals experiencing:
Beyond one-to-one therapy, Ms. Arushi contributes to mental health awareness through psychoeducational webinars and interactive sessions. She has also trained and supervised psychology internship batches through case discussions, skill-building exercises, and hands-on clinical learning.
Her therapeutic style is intended to be approachable, patient, and collaborative, while remaining sensitive to each client’s experiences.
Therapy is tailored to the individual’s goals, personality, context, and pace, combining established psychological approaches with practical strategies.
Ms. Arushi keeps up with evolving mental health research, social changes, digital-age challenges, and current conversations in psychology.
Sessions can focus on emotional resilience, self-understanding, relationships, coping skills, and changes that clients can continue practising outside therapy.
Psychological therapies are supported by a broad evidence base, but outcomes vary by person, concern, therapeutic relationship, and treatment context. For population-level context, the World Health Organization reported in September 2026 that nearly 1 in 7 people worldwide — about 1.2 billion people — were living with a mental disorder in 2023. In India, the National Mental Health Survey 2015–16 reported 10.6% current and 13.7% lifetime prevalence of mental morbidity among the surveyed population. These figures describe global mental-health burden; they do not predict an individual client’s outcome.
If you have been thinking about talking to someone, you do not need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. A first conversation can be a place to clarify what you are experiencing and what support you are looking for.
Psych Therapy, led by Ms. Gunjan Arya, a Counseling Psychologist, offers a safe space for individuals seeking emotional support through evidence-based therapies. Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues, we aim to enhance personal growth and well-being.
