About Kavitha
Kavitha Devarajan is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and depression. She also helps people dealing with life purpose questions and other concerns such as body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and workplace issues.
Kavitha keeps conversations direct and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what feels stuck and identifying small, doable steps forward. She listens for patterns in relationships, work and self-talk, then helps people try different ways of thinking and acting. The emphasis is on what can be changed now rather than long-range promises.
Her approach is flexible. Kavitha adapts the pace and topics to each person’s needs. Common themes she addresses include attachment issues, communication problems, shame and guilt, and social anxiety. She also supports women who are navigating life transitions and identity concerns.
People working with chronic pain or long-term illness will find practical strategies here too. Kavitha aims to reduce the daily weight of caregiver stress and improve coping. Career and motivation problems are explored with attention to values and realistic steps toward change.
Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Two evidence-based approaches Kavitha draws on are practical problem-solving and techniques that target unhelpful thinking. Practical problem-solving breaks down overwhelming issues into small steps and tests manageable actions to see what changes. Work that targets unhelpful thinking helps people notice recurring negative thoughts and try alternative, more helpful ways of interpreting situations.Another focus is relationship pattern work, which looks at how past attachment styles show up in current relationships. This helps when communication problems, guilt or shame, and repeated relationship difficulties are present. Each method is explained in plain terms and tied to everyday challenges like workplace stress or caregiver strain.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical constraints and try different methods to find what fits. Regular check-ins guide adjustments so the sessions remain relevant to changing needs.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving commitments.
