About
Devika Dhadhal is a family counsellor with seven years of experience supporting individuals, children, and families. Her work is guided by the belief that change becomes possible when people feel truly heard and understood, and she aims to offer a respectful, non-judgmental space where clients can speak openly and feel validated as they navigate what is happening in their lives.
She draws on evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help people notice and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Sessions are tailored to each person or family, with attention to strengths, needs, and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Devika collaborates closely with clients to make sense of their experiences, explore what sits beneath the surface, and reconnect with their own capacity for change and growth.
Devika supports clients experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship and communication challenges, parenting concerns, life transitions, identity and self-esteem difficulties, and the impact of trauma or adverse experiences. She also works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or uncertain about next steps. Her focus is on helping clients develop practical coping strategies and build healthier relationships, so they can feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to themselves and the people around them.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Devika Dhadhal integrates evidence-based and relationship-focused approaches that can work well in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practice practical strategies to respond differently - often useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, anger, and everyday overwhelm.Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and ongoing relationships shape trust, closeness, and emotional safety. It can be especially relevant for relationship concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, and times when clients feel disconnected from themselves or others. The Gottman Method brings structured, skills-based support for couples and families, with an emphasis on communication, understanding conflict patterns, and building habits that support stronger connection over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Devika works collaboratively, adapting sessions to the client’s goals, preferences, and pace, and adjusting tools over time as needs become clearer.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can use live chat or text-based messaging when that format feels more accessible. These options can make it easier to fit support into busy schedules, parenting responsibilities, or periods of high stress.
