Aakriti Malik

In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, non-judgmental, culturally-sensitive space where you can discuss your concerns safely. My primary orientation is Internal Family Systems therapy—a deeply healing, non-pathologizing, and client-led framework that honours your innate capacity for growth, respecting your many parts for their efforts and gifts.

Clients who choose to continue working with me, have often shared that they felt "safe, non-judged, comfortable, at ease and were touched by my warmth, presence, skilled nuance of understanding their concerns and attunement with them" in the very first session.

I'm proficient in offering both short term (10-12 sessions) and long term therapy, which can run 6 months to a year or more based on the concerns my clients come with. Most of my clients choose to do long term work with me, given the history of their concerns and the outcomes they see in their life outside of therapy. That said, therapy is always a work of collaboration and there is never one size fits all.

I offer in person sessions from my beautiful space in Papakura, Auckland and virtual sessions across New Zealand.

"Your warmth, presence and ability to understand my concerns so astutely in the very first session has offered me great clarity".
"Thank you for acknowledging the parts of me I thought were bad, but I see now, how hard they were trying to help".
"My work with Aakriti over the span of last few months, has awakened me to the many roles I was doing for others at the pretext of forgetting myself. Her therapy approach and compassion has been deeply healing and revealing at the same time."
