Professional statement
Manali Deolalkar identifies herself as a South Asian woman and a therapist of color who aims to create space for clients to support their mental health well-being. Her practice is rooted in building self-awareness, curiosity and self-compassion.
Using a combination of relational and psychodynamic therapy, Manali supports her clients to bring about awareness into their childhood experiences, relationship with their caregivers and attachment patterns that play a role in their present world. Additionally, Manali is also trained in utilising a range of evidence based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy to bring awareness into our thoughts and emotions. Manali aims to support her clients to accept thoughts and emotions without judgement and explore ways to cope with them.
