” Strong therapeutic relationship is at the core of effective therapy. It is deeply rewarding to witness personal growth and to be a part of the journey towards positive change. “
Avni Pawar
Professional Experience
Avni is a registered psychologist who works with children, adolescents, and adults. She provides support for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, neurodiversity, and interpersonal challenges. Avni is especially skilled in supporting neurodiverse clients and is dedicated to helping children and adolescents navigate their mental health challenges while fostering emotional well-being.
Originally from a background in working within the disability sector, Avni has a deep passion for destigmatizing mental health, particularly for neurodiverse individuals and those from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. Her professional experience includes working with clients across different age groups, providing both diagnostic and cognitive assessments to help better understand and address individual needs.
Avni believes that a strong therapeutic relationship is at the core of effective therapy. She works to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to explore their challenges. Avni understands that therapy is a journey, and she is committed to guiding her clients through it at their own pace, offering tailored support that aligns with their unique goals and needs. She finds it deeply rewarding to witness her clients’ personal growth and to be a part of their journey toward positive change.
Throughout her practice, Avni has learned that each person’s story is unique, and no issue is too big or too small to seek help for. She believes that a compassionate, individualised approach helps clients embrace their individuality and move toward a life of greater self-acceptance and fulfilment.
Avni’s therapeutic approach is flexible and integrative, drawing from evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, and Behaviour Therapy. She tailors her approach to each client’s specific needs, ensuring that therapy is both effective and meaningful.
Outside of her practice, Avni enjoys spending time with her dog, reading, dancing, and catching up with friends. These activities bring her balance and joy, allowing her to stay grounded and bring her best self into her work as a psychologist.
