Navigating two different cultures can be a very challenging experience. Srishti has a particular interest in working with immigrants and children of immigrants from South Asian countries, who are experiencing mental health challenges in the context of their culture. 

​

Some common challenges these individuals experience include:

• Making choices for oneself that may be different to cultural norms or expectations

• Managing feelings of guilt and/or unrelenting standards 

• Trying to work out one's identity in the context of differing cultures 

• Being unable to communicate your needs in a way that is heard and understood by those in your family/community

• Difficulty managing emotions in a helpful manner 

• Adjusting to Australian culture in a social or occupational context 

​

Having immigrated from India as a very young child, Srishti brings a unique lens to therapy when working with South Asian populations. She can understand both the joys and challenges associated with balancing two different cultures. Srishti also speaks Hindi.
