About Kavitha
Kavitha Devarajan is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career difficulties and depression. She also supports people dealing with guilt and shame, body image, attachment issues and caregiver stress.
Kavitha keeps conversations straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable steps. She adjusts the way she talks and the activities she uses to match what each person needs and prefers.
People may bring problems that affect daily life, such as low motivation, workplace pressure or social anxiety. Kavitha helps people talk through what is happening and identify small changes that can make tasks feel less heavy. She uses everyday language rather than clinical terms.
Her approach includes exploring communication patterns and how relationships influence feelings about self. For those carrying guilt or shame, she looks at how past events and current expectations keep those feelings alive, then works on ways to lessen their hold in everyday life.
Kavitha draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, building confidence and handling workplace and relationship stressors. The work aims to be collaborative, with the person setting priorities and Kavitha suggesting tools and practice to try between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Many people benefit from approaches that focus on current problems and practical skills. One common technique emphasises identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. This helps with anxiety, low mood and social worries by offering small behavioural steps to try and reflect on.Another approach targets relationship and attachment patterns. It looks at how early or current relationship experiences shape expectations and reactions. Working on these patterns can reduce repeated communication problems and lessen feelings like shame or isolation.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and daily routines with the person and together they decide what to try first. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be useful when someone prefers not to use a camera or needs a session that fits a work break.
