About me

Apoorwa Iyer is a Counselling Psychologist with an MSc, working with adults in English, Hindi, and Tamil. Her approach is eclectic, drawing from Person-Centred Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic principles, adapting the therapeutic process to each client's needs and experiences.

At the heart of her practice is the therapeutic relationship. Apoorwa pays attention not only to what clients bring into therapy, but also to what unfolds in the present moment, including experiences in the body and within the therapeutic relationship. She aims to help clients quiet the noise, connect more clearly with themselves, and engage with the world around them with greater awareness and safety.

Her work is collaborative and unhurried, allowing clients the space to explore their experiences at a pace that feels right for them. She also facilitates experiential workshops and groups for adolescents and adults focused on empowerment, self-identity, and building a sense of community.

Apoorwa believes that many of our deepest wounds are shaped by our relationships and the world around us, and that healing is supported through connection, understanding, and meaningful relationships.
