Avanthi Chrystine (She/they)Counsellor

Avanthi has worked with a range of folks from all walks of life, and always feels honoured when someone trusts them enough to share their journey with them. Avanthi has a particular passion for working with people in the LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse communities and will draw on her own experiences of community to support people through their own experiences. Avanthi’s approach is eclectic, often drawing from Strengths-Based, Narrative Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (amongst many other modalities). However, they are always aim to meet you where you’re at, learn new strategies to support you through your sessions, and be guided by your own therapeutic goals. Avanthi’s main focus is finding ways to make therapy more accessible and less intimidating. They want to walk beside you on your journey, focus on working *with* you, and taking it at your own pace. In their spare time, Avanthi loves listening to audiobooks (but is constantly rewinding when their mind wanders), finding new cafes, playing video games, catching up with friends, going to the theatre/movies/museums, or finding a new tv/show or movie to hyperfixate on. They’re currently trying to get back into crocheting in- between finding new recipes to attempt.
