Anirudh Lotlikar

Counsellor: I am Anirudh, a Counsellor who works with individuals seeking support for emotional well-being and personal growth. I support clients navigating concerns such as relationships, self-confidence, stress management, communication difficulties, family dynamics, and self-related issues. I work with people who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves, helping them develop insight, resilience, and healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges.My approach is integrative, collaborative, and tailored to the individual. I draw from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and broader psychotherapeutic principles, adapting each session to suit the client’s needs and goals. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, relatable, and practical — not like an exam you forgot to study for. You don’t need to arrive with perfectly organised thoughts; we’ll sort through the mental clutter together.I hold a BSc in Clinical Psychology, graduating as a Gold Medallist, and I currently have over one and a half years of professional experience working with a range of emotional and interpersonal concerns. Alongside my practice, I am continuing my professional development through a Diploma in Advanced Psychotherapy and Counselling, ensuring my work remains ethical, evidence-based, and client-centred.Clients often describe my style as warm, approachable, and grounding. I balance empathy with gentle challenge, creating a space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes at their own pace.If you’re looking for a counsellor who understands both the science of psychology and the realities of being human (including occasional overthinking and self-doubt), I invite you to book a session and take the next step toward clarity, emotional balance, and self-understanding.Sport Psychologist:I am Anirudh, a Sport and Exercise Psychologist who works with athletes and physically active individuals seeking support for performance-related challenges and mental well-being. I support clients dealing with performance anxiety, confidence blocks, pressure, motivation difficulties, and psychological barriers that impact both performance and enjoyment in sport and exercise.My approach is integrative, collaborative, and tailored to the individual. I draw from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychological skills training, and broader psychotherapeutic principles to help clients build confidence, focus, emotional regulation, and mental resilience. I aim to make psychological work practical and relatable because mental training should feel as useful as physical training, not like another thing on your to-do list.I hold an MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Loughborough University, England, along with a BSc in Clinical Psychology, where I graduated as a Gold Medallist. I currently have over one and a half years of professional experience, and I continue to develop my practice through advanced training to ensure my work remains ethical and evidence-based.Alongside academic training, I bring first-hand sporting experience into my work. I have played cricket, handball, football, and tennis professionally, which means I understand the realities of competition, performance slumps, injuries, and that one mistake your brain insists on replaying at 2 a.m. This allows me to connect authentically with athletes, while also supporting non-athletes in using exercise as a powerful tool for mental well-being (no marathon training required).If you’re looking for a Sport and Exercise Psychologist who understands both the science of the mind and the realities of being human (and occasionally overthinking), I invite you to book a session and take the next step toward growth, balance, and performance with purpose.
