About
Psychotherapist in Bangalore
Aravinda Nandakumar
I'm Aravinda Nandakumar, a psychotherapist based in Bengaluru, working with individuals, couples and families through both in-person and online therapy.
My work is particularly informed by an attachment-based and trauma-focused perspective, with specialised training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR and Schema Therapy. This approach allows me to understand each person's story through the lens of emotional needs, past experiences and relational patterns — while keeping the therapeutic process collaborative, practical and paced to fit the individual, couple or family I work with.
My Specialised Therapeutic Approaches
Three evidence-based frameworks shape how I understand and support the people I work with.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT offers an attachment-based framework for understanding emotional needs and relationship patterns. I draw on EFT particularly in my work with couples and relationship difficulties, including recurring conflict, emotional disconnection and attachment injuries.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR is a specialised approach for working with distressing and traumatic experiences that continue to affect the present. I use an EMDR-informed approach when working with trauma and experiences that remain emotionally unresolved.
Schema Therapy
Schema Therapy helps explore longstanding emotional patterns, beliefs and coping responses that can develop through earlier experiences and continue to influence how we relate to ourselves and others.
How I Work
I don't believe therapy should follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Different concerns may require different therapeutic perspectives, and my training in EFT, EMDR and Schema Therapy allows me to draw on approaches that fit the individual, couple or family I am working with.
My work is grounded in understanding the emotional, attachment and relational patterns beneath the difficulties people experience, while keeping therapy collaborative, practical and paced according to each person's needs.
