AJo, Auckland – shared with permission “Since starting my therapy sessions with Aakriti, I have learned far more than I ever imagined possible about myself. Ever since our first session, I felt Aakriti’s understanding and warmth through her voice, which helped me open up and share my experiences. Aakriti makes it a point to check in with me periodically throughout the sessions and never pushes me to go anywhere I feel uncomfortable. She tailors my sessions based on what I may need that day or in that moment, whether it’s through empathy, validation, or logical reasoning. I feel extremely lucky to be on this journey of growth and self-improvement with a therapist whom I can trust completely. I have already started to see a difference in the way I now process my emotions, thanks to the path that Aakriti is guiding me on, and I’m looking forward to what’s to come.”
Client – shared with permission “I saw Aakriti for 12 sessions of therapy. The experience opened doors to allow me to explore parts of my personality and thought processes that have at times made life difficult for me and it provided understanding about why this has happened. With this level of understanding I will have the capability to deal with future setbacks and even physical health issues. Thank you again for taking me by the hand on this journey and providing clarity in my life.”
Client, Hamilton – shared with permission “I had a really nice time working with Aakriti. She has a lovely patient manner and was able to help me understand things about myself better. I also learnt so many things about myself with her help, allowing me to seek further appropriate resources. Furthermore, Aakriti also does a great job in weaving her cultural experience in her practice. Being a young Indian female, I was able to clearly convey my thoughts on topics that other therapists have had some difficulty understanding. This resulted in a smooth therapy experience with first-hand understanding of cultural nuances. Aakriti is also quite accommodating for session times, suggesting appropriate workarounds for those with a full-time job.”
Client – shared with permission “I was diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder in 2018 and began seeing Aakriti in 2019. From the start, she took a clear, systematic approach—working through each issue one at a time. She’s incredibly non-judgmental, and her strategies helped me manage episodes and make sense of overwhelming thoughts. The worksheets and resources she shared were also really valuable. Over the last 6 months, I can say therapy with Aakriti has brought me clarity and growth—I’m a better person because of it.”
Ruth CM, Auckland – shared with permission “Aakriti has guided me through a new practice (IFS) with compassion, assertion and safety. She has helped me to meet myself without judgement and this has enabled me to bring real, joyful moments into my life outside of our sessions. I feel incredibly lucky to work with Aakriti and to have learnt a new way to understand my relationship with myself and other people without judgement, and with decreasing fear.”
Anonymous – shared with permission “Aakriti is professional, warm and highly skilled in deciphering the different aspects of Internal Family Systems Therapy. As someone who has experienced anxiety, disordered eating and low mood for many years, I did not expect to find a form of therapy that could slice through and interact with the root cause of my suffering without judgement. I can’t recommend Aakriti as a practitioner enough.”
