Vamakshi Painter

Vamakshi is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a Masters in Clinical Psychology. She focuses on creating a warm, supportive and an empathetic environment for her clients so they feel belonged and can take up space feeling in charge of themselves.

She values authentic connection and believes in cultivating a secure therapeutic relationship that can become a model for how clients relate to themselves and others. She believes that when people feel truly seen, heard, and held with genuine care, they are better able to access their emotions, regulate their nervous system, and create lasting change in their lives.

She works with young adults and adults navigating adjustment challenges, low mood, depression, anxiety, low self‑esteem, and confidence concerns. She also supports individuals experiencing relationship difficulties, both romantic and interpersonal, as well as those carrying intergenerational trauma.

Vamakshi is a trauma-informed therapist who integrates psychological theory and evidence-based interventions like Gestalt therapy, Somatic Experiences and Emotion-focus approaches to help clients explore present challenges, process past experiences, and regulate their nervous system. Grounded in the belief that emotions are held in both the mind and body, she supports clients in developing greater self-awareness, mindfulness, and resilience.

Deeply spiritual herself, she welcomes spirituality into the therapeutic process when it aligns with a client's values and goals. Drawing on both professional experience and her lived experience as an immigrant, Vamakshi works thoughtfully with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, understanding the complexities of identity, belonging, and adapting to a new culture. Her approach is warm, assertive, non-judgmental, and strengths-based.

She is multilingual and speaks English and Hindi fluently, and also speaks and understands Marathi and Gujarati.
