About Maitri
Maitri Dhingra is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She works with people who need practical support and early intervention to feel steadier and more able to cope. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at clear steps forward.
Maitri draws on five years of clinical and community experience in Australia, including work in corporate settings. That background means she is used to helping people with the everyday pressures of work, money and life transitions as well as deeper emotional concerns. She also supports those dealing with attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress and feelings of isolation.
Her style is person-centred and trauma-informed. Sessions focus on understanding each person’s story, spotting strengths already present, and building simple, realistic skills to manage symptoms. Maitri offers practical tools to improve communication, reduce worry, and rebuild confidence after difficult events.
She values collaboration and asks clients what matters to them before making a plan. Conversations are paced to suit the individual, whether that looks like step-by-step problem solving or space to reflect and process emotions. Maitri encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time.
People who come to her for support often want help with relationship conflicts, coping after a distressing event, or navigating midlife and career shifts. Maitri speaks English and Hindi, and focuses on helping clients find clearer direction and more consistent wellbeing.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online support
Person-centred work focuses on what matters to the individual and builds a plan around their goals. It helps with stress, relationship concerns and confidence by encouraging practical steps that suit daily life.Trauma-informed care pays attention to how past distress affects current reactions and relationships. This approach offers pacing, grounding strategies and ways to reduce overwhelm while processing difficult memories or reactions.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss what feels helpful and adjust techniques to match the client’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process aims to find methods the person can use between sessions as well as during them.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling around work and family, fewer travel demands and quicker access from different parts of Australia. If you need shorter check-ins or sessions that fit a lunch break, these can be discussed when arranging appointments.
