Akhila Mahadevan

I am an experienced mental health practitioner who has supported over 150 individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, phobias, and unhealthy behavioural patterns. I work using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Graded Exposure, and Motivational Interviewing, always tailoring my work to each person through a compassionate, person-centred approach. I am trained in safeguarding and have supported individuals through crisis situations, including suicidal ideation and self-harm, with care, sensitivity, and appropriate risk management. I hold a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Psychology and am committed to creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
