Services
Intensive Short Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
This is an evidence-based psychotherapy wherein your concerns are understood, all your defenses are dodged and you are brought in touch with your affect/deeper emotions.
Individual Long term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
In long-term dynamic therapy, you are understood as a person in their own right with the help of in-detailed case history and your symptoms are seen in the developmental context as communicating your unconscious motives, repressed emotions, affects and drives.
How Does this Process Work?
From session 1 through 4, the therapist will take your in-detailed case history, understanding childhood, adolescents through adulthood with all nuances. The therapist will also explore your understanding of the role of therapy and the therapist. This understanding will help the therapist to formulate your case and appreciate the dynamics being played out currently. This is a phase where you and the therapist get to build a trusting therapeutic relationship.
This is an intense phase where the therapist will hold non-judgemental and warm regard for your unfolding emotions, will reflect back some unconscious desires/emotions, bring attention to repetitive patterns in your life and meanings of the symptoms that the person is experiencing is explicated. This phase may bring out repressed, deeper emotions towards various events and figures in life and the therapist will be the facilitative agent in working through them.
After having worked through all the difficult emotions and repressed content, the therapist and you may mutually decide on phasing out therapy and slowly move towards termination. By this stage, you have an enriched understanding about your own unconscious dynamics and emotions.

I value Aishwarya’s thoughtful and systematic approach. She brings clarity and insight, often noticing things I hadn’t been aware of before, which has helped me gain new perspectives. Her sessions feel purposeful, structured, and supportive, and she balances professionalism with genuine warmth. Aishwarya is kind, approachable, considerate, and humble, and she creates a safe, non-judgmental space where I feel truly supported.

FAQ'S
What is the format of therapy sessions?
Therapy sessions are conducted weekly once or twice depending on the severity of the presenting problem. Bi-weekly sessions are not encouraged as that affects the prognosis of the client. The duration of each session is 45 mins. The sessions are conducted only online via google meet with due consideration of telehealth guidelines. The session is scheduled as per the availability of the client and the therapist. The standard practice is to schedule the session at the same day and time every week. That helps ensure consistency and accountability.
Therapy is not a quick fix. The therapist will not necessarily offer the solution but will be curious about the origin of the question. Therapy is an investment in yourself. Your conditioning and environment has been a long time companion for you. Thus, change will face resistance, especially from yourself. To expect the change in a few days or months is unrealistic and not sustainable. Thus, it may not be promised by the therapy.
People with a history or an active episode of Schizophrenia, ongoing court cases or criminal charges, Autism, Intellectual Disability are given referral by the therapist and are not seen for therapy. Similarly, children, adolescents, older adults (age ranging from 45 above) and people with neuropsychiatric concerns are not considered for treatment with Insights Plus Psychotherapy Services.
