About Shilpa Kurakula

Shilpa Kurakula offers an integrative counselling approach that focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can explore, understand and begin to heal. She acknowledges that life can bring challenges that affect mood and confidence, from stress and anxiety to grief and relationship difficulties, and she works with clients to identify how these issues are affecting daily life.

Using an integrative framework, she combines different therapeutic perspectives to examine what has contributed to a problem, clarify what a client wants to change and consider practical options for moving forward. Sessions are tailored to each person so the work reflects individual needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Shilpa holds an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and is an MBACP registered member - MBACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her practice aims to support honest conversation, greater self-understanding and constructive steps toward wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a compassionate, non-directive environment where the client leads the conversation and is supported to explore feelings and personal values. This approach is helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying goals and practical steps toward change, often useful when clients want short-term, goal-directed work to address stress, anxiety or specific problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Registered professionals and therapists work with each person to assess needs, preferences and goals, and then adapt methods to suit the individual. The therapist will discuss options and tailor sessions so the chosen approach supports the client’s priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility by enabling sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, access support from different locations and choose the format that feels most comfortable for focused conversation and ongoing progress.
