Dharshini Peddapalli

I grew up feeling quite unseen and unheard. Those experiences shape how I hold space as a therapist today, with deep empathy, steady presence, and a commitment to offering the kind of support every human deserves. I’m a trauma-informed, queer-affirmative, and multi-culturally sensitive therapist who believes the wisdom you seek already lives within you. My approach is rooted in seeing people as whole, beyond labels or diagnoses. I care about how you have survived, how you have adapted, and how you want to grow. Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, low self-worth, relationship or work stress, or carrying pain from your past, we work together to make sense of it and build a skill toolkit that fit your life.

Alongside therapy, I have led consultant projects for companies like Sigachi Industries after the recent explosion at their plant and delivered talks for Invesco on workplace well-being and mental health. I have also worked with educational institutions with objectives to make real impact. I also got to work with Residential Bridge Camp (MVF), an NGO that rescues girl children from child labour, helping bridge learning gaps so they can rejoin mainstream schooling. I find deep joy in inculcating emotional literacy among youth. I work with individuals across walks of life: senior leaders; early career professionals; those exploring identity; navigating grief or life transitions. I hold a commitment to supporting people who went through adverse childhood experiences; identify with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities. I look forward to meeting your story, or your organisation’s, with the same compassion, curiosity, and care.
