About Maitri
Maitri Dhingra is an ACA counsellor with five years of experience working in Australia. She helps people who are feeling stressed or anxious, struggling with relationships, dealing with trauma or low self-esteem, or facing depression. She also supports those wrestling with life purpose and other practical pressures.
Her approach is person-centred and trauma-informed. Sessions focus on listening carefully and helping people notice the strengths they already have. Conversations are aimed at practical next steps rather than grand promises.
Maitri has worked across clinical, community and corporate settings. That range gives her experience with everyday pressures and workplace-related stressors as well as longer-term emotional difficulties. She emphasises early intervention and recovery-oriented care for people feeling overwhelmed.
In sessions she offers guidance and practical tools. People can expect to talk through what’s most urgent, practise coping strategies, and plan small changes to test in daily life. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
Maitri speaks English and Hindi. She supports people in Australia and is focused on helping adults clarify what matters next, whether the issue is money worries, caregiving strain, attachment concerns, or a midlife shift.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Person-centred work focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. In online sessions this means conversations centre on what matters most now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings. It is helpful for stress, life transitions and relationship concerns.Trauma-informed care means the therapist recognises how past harm can affect present reactions. The approach moves at a pace the person can manage and offers grounding strategies for intense emotions, which can be useful for people healing from abuse or trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods based on each person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is needed. If quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or not being on camera are important, mention these when arranging sessions so a suitable plan can be made.
