Aarthi Udayakumar is a counsellor based in North Sydney, with her practice at Suite 504, Level 5, 44 Miller Street, North Sydney NSW 2060. She works with people who want help sorting through what’s going on in their minds and day-to-day life. Sessions are for individuals and groups, so the support can fit around different needs and comfort levels.
Day to day, counselling can be about more than just “feeling bad”. Many people seek support when stress builds up, emotions feel hard to manage, or life starts to feel a bit out of control. Aarthi offers individual counselling sessions where you can talk things through in a steady and practical way. Sometimes it’s about finding what triggers you. Other times it’s about building small steps you can use when things get tough.
For those who prefer a shared setting, there are also group therapy sessions. Group work can help people feel less alone, and it can make coping feel more real. In many cases, hearing other people’s experiences brings new ideas, and it can show you that you’re not the only one dealing with hard moments.
Aarthi also provides mental health assessments. These check-ins can be useful when you’re not sure what’s going on, or when you want clarity on next steps. The goal is to make sense of your situation and work out what kind of support will help most. At times, this can also help you spot patterns, like how stress affects sleep, focus, mood, and everyday decisions.
Support includes stress management techniques and emotional support sessions. This can look like learning ways to slow things down, manage overwhelm, and respond to feelings without getting stuck in them. The style is calm and grounded, with an emphasis on skills you can actually use between appointments.
Aarthi works in English and Tamil. Feeling understood matters, and being able to talk in the language that feels most natural can make a big difference to how safe and comfortable sessions feel. If you’re after support for anxiety-like worry, low mood, or just general strain from life, counselling can be a good place to start.
