SELFSAME Therapyby Srividya

Services

Three ways to work together, all online.

Every session is held online, wherever in the world you are living. Individual and teen sessions run 55 minutes and couples therapy 90 minutes, and we always start with a free 15-minute call so you can ask questions before committing to anything.

01

Individual Counselling

One-to-one work for anxiety, identity, burnout and the particular loneliness of building a life far from where you began.

We meet weekly, online, wherever you are. You will not have to explain what a joint family is, why a phone call from home can undo an entire evening, or why leaving felt like both an achievement and a betrayal. We start from that shared ground and work outward — into the anxiety, the exhaustion behind the visa and the job title, and the version of yourself you have been performing since you landed.

Often helpful for

  • Caught between two worlds — too “Western” for home, too foreign where you live now
  • Family expectations and guilt — boundaries with parents, pressure around marriage or career
  • Burnout and the pressure to prove the move was worth it
  • Isolation — friendships that do not go deep, and a support system you left behind
  • Anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, including grief that gets little space
  • Major transitions — a new country, a new job, parenthood, divorce

02

Couples & Relationship Counselling

For couples carrying a relationship across cultures, countries and two sets of family expectations.

Relationships abroad carry an extra weight: no extended family nearby, two definitions of duty, and often two cultures negotiating the same kitchen. This work is not about deciding who is right. We slow the cycle down enough to see it, and make space for the things that are hard to say in either language.

Often helpful for

  • Family expectations pulling in two directions at once
  • Intercultural relationships and marriages
  • Marriages under strain after relocation or a dependent visa
  • Long-distance, and the years spent in different time zones
  • Recurring conflict, distance or loss of intimacy

03

Teen Counselling

Growing up is complicated enough. Growing up between two cultures adds another layer entirely.

We meet weekly, online, wherever you are living. Your teenager doesn't have to explain why they act differently on a call with grandparents than they do with friends, or why doing well at school still doesn't feel like enough. We start from that shared ground — the pressure to represent the family well, the quiet exhaustion of translating between two sets of expectations — and work outward, into the anxiety, the self-esteem, and the space to just be a teenager without also being an ambassador for a culture.

Often helpful for

  • Caught between two cultures — different rules at home than at school or with friends
  • Family expectations and pressure to represent well — academically, socially, culturally
  • Self-esteem and identity, including race, culture and belonging
  • Friendships and social pressure — wanting to fit in without losing themselves
  • Family conflict — feeling unheard, or caught between generations
  • Big transitions — a new country, a new school, exam years
