Swathi Stirling Counsellor

clinic location

Overview

Hi, I’m Swathi, a Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a deep interest in how our nervous systems shape the way we feel, relate, and connect. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and culturally diverse communities navigating trauma, loss, anxiety, relationship growth, or a desire for deeper understanding and self-awareness. My approach is grounded in neuroscience, compassion, and the belief that therapy is as much about rediscovering possibilities as it is about easing pain. Having personally navigated fertility and life challenges, I bring lived experience, gentleness, and depth to this work. I’m passionate about building my clients' strengths and resilience, and walking alongside them as they move towards clarity, connection, and recovery.
