Therapy to reconnect

Feeling out of touch? You’re in the right place.

About Connect Counselling

Connection lets us feel seen, heard, and valued. It offers us acceptance and therefore safety. The vision behind Connect Counselling came from an observation that mental disarray--feelings of confusion, sadness, loneliness, and stress--tends to materialize when we feel a lack of connectedness, either because of hurting relationships or internal asymmetry. 

Connect Counselling is a space to explore, untangle, and reconnect. Using a range of evidence based therapeutic modalities and an empathetic approach, clients are gently guided through discomfort and toward clarity.

I hope through here, you see that you are not alone in your feeling, and there is a path toward repair.

  • "I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Maitreyi as my counsellor. Through her guidance and support I was able to apply techniques and strategies to effectively calm my body down during challenging moments. She attentively listened to my challenges, and thoughts, pushing me to pause, reflect, and truly listen to myself before taking action. Because of that I can effectively communicate my needs to my partner and be a better listener. Maitreyi is very calm and composed, allowing me to mirror her behaviours in tough situations. She made a big difference in my life and I’m very grateful for the wonderful work she put into each session."

  • “I reached out to Maitreyi when I was going through a challenging time with my partner. I had been experiencing intense waves of jealousy that would cause me to spiral into a destructive state. I had attempted working through the issue myself but struggled to sustain a change in behaviour and thought. Through Maitreyi’s gentle questioning I was able to recogonise what lay at the root of my issue and to address that directly. Her empathetic and non-judgemental approach created a safe environment that ultimately allowed me to adopt a more compassionate perspective on the situation. As well as helping me to restore peace in my relationship, Maitreyi supported me in opening a dialogue about the issue with my partner - it was truly transformative. Working with Maitreyi was such a wonderful experience and I am so grateful to her for saving my relationship.”

  • “Maitreyi is so professional, neutral, understanding and extremely strong when she needs to be. It takes all these qualities to be able to facilitate a couple with so much history and so much contention... and Maitreyi is always calm and composed and able to help us take a step back and pause. She is full of knowledge and is so forthcoming with handouts to reflect back on which makes the skills easier to implement on our own. I would recommend Maitreyi to all couples married 1 year up to 60! She can definitely handle all the clashes!”

  • "I had the pleasure of working with Maitreyi who was patient, empathetic and non-judgmental, creating a safe space where I could explore my feelings and experiences. With her guidance, I was able to learn about my past and gain a deeper understanding of how my past experiences were affecting my present. She helped me see things from a different perspective and learn new coping strategies to help me navigate difficult situations. She was truly invested in the goals I set for myself for therapy and helped me become a better version of myself. I would highly recommend working with Maitreyi to anyone whether you are currently going through difficult times or want to pursue personal growth from the impact of past negative relationships affecting your present wellbeing."

    HY

  • "I came to Maitreyi wanting to build better relationships with the people around and finding that I was very emotionally reactive and struggling with it. Over the months we spent working together not only have I been equipped with tools to build better relationships, but I’ve also learned that understanding myself, my attachment style, boundaries and how my past is shaping my present are all important contributors to the relationship I have with others and, most importantly, myself. Maitreyi’s approach to counselling was refreshing. She tailored the way she works to give me activities and tools to keep me engaged in the process. And while I was challenged by the things we unpacked and unlearning some of my conditioned ways of being, I found her to be a reassuring and supportive presence throughout the journey."

  • “I have been working with Maitreyi for over a year now and I’ve been very happy with the progress I have made. She is very attentive and patient. She puts in work beyond the hours that we are together. It really shows in her insights and our time together. She has given me the tools to recognize situations before they become adverse. I would recommend her whole heartedly.”

    PC

  • “Maitreyi is a kind, understanding and empathetic therapist. She made great efforts to understand my thought and behavioral patterns and link them to their cause. With her help I was able to be aware of my behavior on various situations of life. She convinced me how important is self-compassion and how to be compassionate on myself. Most importantly Maitreyi was able to help me to change my perspective on certain incidences that happened in my life and it made a big difference on how I see things now.”
