Are you tired of saying “yes” when you really want to say “no”? Do you feel obligated to meet others’ needs while your own take a backseat? You give and give—yet feel unseen, unappreciated, and drained. You long to set boundaries without guilt, but you don’t know where to start?
If you are looking for someone that gets your struggles, family dynamics and offers more than one size fits all ‘tips, tricks and tool box’ sheets that bypass your concerns, I got you.
I specialize in working with adults identifying as people-pleasers, fixers, peace-makers and caretakers, who are ready to prioritize their own needs to live authentically.
In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, non-judgmental, culturally-sensitive and trauma focused space to share your concerns safely.
I use Internal Family Systems therapy—a deeply healing, non-pathologizing, and client-led framework that honours your innate capacity for growth, respecting your many parts for their efforts and gifts.

In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, non-judgmental, culturally-sensitive space where you can discuss your concerns safely. My primary orientation is Internal Family Systems therapy—a deeply healing, non-pathologizing, and client-led framework that honours your innate capacity for growth, respecting your many parts for their efforts and gifts.
Clients who choose to continue working with me, have often shared that they felt "safe, non-judged, comfortable, at ease and were touched by my warmth, presence, skilled nuance of understanding their concerns and attunement with them" in the very first session.
I'm proficient in offering both short term (10-12 sessions) and long term therapy, which can run 6 months to a year or more based on the concerns my clients come with. Most of my clients choose to do long term work with me, given the history of their concerns and the outcomes they see in their life outside of therapy. That said, therapy is always a work of collaboration and there is never one size fits all.
I offer in person sessions from my beautiful space in Papakura, Auckland and virtual sessions across New Zealand.

"My work with Aakriti over the span of last few months, has awakened me to the many roles I was doing for others at the pretext of forgetting myself. Her therapy approach and compassion has been deeply healing and revealing at the same time."
