About Kavitha

AASW social worker with three years' experience. Kavitha Devarajan helps people who are stressed, anxious, depressed or having relationship and career difficulties. She speaks English, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam and works from Australia.

Kavitha focuses on clear, practical conversations. She helps people talk through low self-esteem, motivation problems and confidence. She also addresses workplace issues, social anxiety and concerns about body image or life purpose.

She takes an evidence-based approach and adapts how she works to each person. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and test small changes that can reduce stress and improve coping. Communication skills and problem-solving are common parts of her work.

Kavitha also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness or disability and the stress faced by caregivers. She can help with feelings of guilt, shame, isolation and difficulties with attachment and forgiveness.

The first session typically clarifies what a person wants to change and how progress will be measured. Follow-up sessions look at practical steps, review what helped, and adjust the plan as needed. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Two evidence-based approaches feature in her work. One focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing practical changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This approach helps with stress, depression and social anxiety by breaking cycles that maintain problems. Another strand emphasises communication and problem-solving skills. That work targets relationship strain, workplace issues and improving confidence in social situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences. Early sessions clarify what is important and offer a plan that can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to choose sessions that suit their routine, whether a longer weekly meeting or brief follow-ups, depending on what the therapist and client agree will work best.
