Hi, I’m Aakriti Malik (she/her)—your millennial therapist who knows that healing doesn’t happen in perfectly curated sentences or colour-coded emotions.
In this space, you don’t have to filter yourself.
You can bring the part of you that’s tired of holding it all together. The part that’s angry, numb, tender or unsure. The part that’s done the work—but still feels stuck.
Every part of you has a story.
And every part of you is welcome here.
I’m also the kind of therapist who welcomes the whole of your experience. That meme that hit a little too hard. The podcast episode that stayed with you. A journal entry scribbled in frustration, a piece of art that captured what words couldn’t or the wisdom of a close friend that landed deep. It all belongs here. No explanations needed.
With over 12 years of experience spanning India, Malaysia, and now Aotearoa New Zealand, I bring a culturally attuned and globally grounded lens to the therapy space.
I specialise in seeing women aged 18-55 years navigating constant anxiety, worry, depression, people pleasing, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm and feelings of shame, guilt, not-good-enough despite giving it all. Through gentle, culturally-attuned and trauma-focused therapy—using Internal Family Systems (IFS)—I help them heal those early childhood wounds, reconnect with who they really are and build a life that feels calm, connected and authentic.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to visit my website- calmconnecttherapy.com to learn more and connect with me. I look forward to supporting you on healing journey within.
