Remote therapy that focuses on patterns and relationships
Devika offers online sessions that bring together approaches suited to relational and individual concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and develop concrete strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and ongoing relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, supporting work on communication, trust, and connection. For couples and family work, elements of the Gottman Method can be used to structure conversations about communication and conflict in ways that promote clearer understanding between partners. Sessions are collaborative and client-centered: Devika adapts techniques to the goals and pace of the people who attend. Remote appointments are available by video and phone, and she also offers live chat and text-based messaging when those formats better suit a person’s needs.How long has Devika been practising?
