About me

Kousalya Karthikeyan is a psychotherapy practitioner with a deeply human-centred practice, supporting clients with anxiety and stress management, premarital and marriage concerns, self-esteem, identity, and emotional well-being.

Her approach draws from Transactional Analysis, Psychodrama, NLP, Art Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, and Humanistic and Progressive (Newton) approaches. She also incorporates psychoeducation, reflective facilitation, and experiential learning, adapting her approach to each client's unique experiences, needs, and frame of reference.

Kousalya works across different age groups and life stages, including adolescents, young adults, couples, and middle-aged women navigating identity, relationships, and changing roles. She aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, develop greater self-awareness, and find meaningful ways to navigate life's challenges.

Therapy Bookings: Terms & Conditions

Sessions coordinated directly with the therapist

Once you book a session with a therapist via SoulUp, we put you in touch with them via WhatsApp allowing you and your therapist to coordinate on a mutually convenient time.

Cancellation policy

You can reschedule or cancel sessions or switch therapists upto 24 hours of the slotted time, post which no rescheduling or refund of sessions is possible.

Late to session policy

If you are over 15 mins late to the session, then the session will be held cancelled and no refund will be available. This has been done to ensure a 'full' session for you as well as to ensure enough gap-time for the therapist before their next session.

Cancelling part of a bundled session

For sessions bought as bundle of 4 at discounted price - if after n sessions, either the therapist or the client wants to discontinue sessions, we initiate refund of remaining sessions. In this case, the actual non-discounted price is deducted for each completed session (instead of the pro-rata amount per session) from the price of the bundled offering and the refund is issued.
