Akshaya Murali: Burnout, Stress, Overwhelm, Motivation, Anxiety, Panic, OCD Counselling Psychologist (Therapist) in Chennai

I am a Counseling Psychologist with experience in supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. My areas of focus include anxiety, grief, low self-worth, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to reflect, heal, and grow at their own pace. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and strengths-based, with the integration of evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and foundational Transactional Analysis.

I work collaboratively, respecting each person’s unique journey, and adapt the process to meet their specific goals and needs.  With experience across hospitals, schools, digital platforms, and care facilities, I’ve supported individuals from diverse backgrounds and age groups. My approach is collaborative, empathetic, and grounded in respect. Outside of work, I find balance through art and time in nature, both remind me of the value of slowing down and reconnecting with ourselves. Therapy with me focuses on helping you build insight, resilience, and practical tools to support everyday life.
