Therapeutic Approach
Sakshi is keen to work with adults and couples. Her therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each client’s unique needs and personality. She draws from diverse therapeutic approaches that include Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic insights, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused-Brief Therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness-based techniques. She works closely with her clients to help them build self-awareness, coping strategies and emotional regulation, improve relationships and communication, support growth and meaning-making and facilitate healing and trauma processing.
Sakshi is originally from India, previously lived in Germany for completing her Masters and has been residing with her husband in Singapore for over 7 years now.
