Hello!
I’m Trishna, a therapist trained in Presence-Oriented Psychotherapy and Dance Movement Therapy. I draw on somatic, arts-based, and mindfulness practices to support people in reconnecting with themselves and making sense of their emotional landscapes — especially when words fall short.
My approach is rooted in a deep trust in each person’s inner wisdom, and I hold space for both nervous system regulation and relational safety. With a trauma-informed lens, I support clients in moving beyond survival strategies and into more authentic, embodied ways of living. So, in a way, my work with clients is depth-focused.
I’m particularly drawn to the tender, in-between spaces of life — explorations of sexuality and identity, experiences of grief, mental health concerns and life transitions that stir vulnerability and self-doubt. In these spaces, I invite curiosity, compassion, and the courage to be with what arises.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults, including those who are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, or navigating experiences that fall outside dominant norms.
Whether I’m offering therapy or education, I center values of autonomy, inclusion, and creativity. I honour individual lived experience as vital to their healing process.
My practice is not just informed by training, but by ongoing unlearning, cultural humility, and a commitment to collective care.
