About Rajeswarri
Rajeswarri M Vanugopal is an ACA counsellor with eight years of professional experience in Australia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career challenges and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, anger and depression, and offers coaching for practical goals.
Rajeswarri works from the view that each person understands their own story and already has strengths to draw on. In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps clients name the emotions and patterns that get in the way. She uses clear, direct conversation to help people try different ways of responding to difficult feelings and situations.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods are used to help people identify unhelpful thoughts, notice emotional patterns, and respond differently in everyday life. She blends practical strategies with focused attention on feelings.
Rajeswarri has contributed to education, research and art workshops alongside her clinical work. She also provides supervision and management support in clinical settings. Those activities complement her practice and inform how she structures sessions and goals.
While navigating early motherhood, she is currently offering messaging chat sessions only. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Sessions are conducted in English and Tamil and she does not take international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name core emotions and patterns in relationships and personal reactions. It focuses on connecting feelings and actions so someone can try different ways of relating to themselves and others.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clear values and practical steps. It supports people to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take small actions that match what matters to them.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s perspective at the centre. The therapist offers attentive listening and reflection so clients can clarify what they want and make choices about next steps.
Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions around that. Clients and the counsellor decide together which approaches to emphasise as work progresses.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and shorter check-ins when needed. The biography notes she is currently offering messaging chat sessions only, so confirm the session formats before booking. Online options can make it easier to continue regular contact and to build momentum between sessions.
