In Person + Telehealth
Philosophy & Vision
People simply want to feel heard, understood and supported. They want to be seen and feel accepted. They want to know they are significant. They want to heal and live free. They want a way out of their struggle. I believe everyone can heal, change, grow and thrive if provided with the right support, therefore I strive towards planting HOPE and a deep assurance in the hearts and minds of my clients' that no matter how overwhelmed or lost, no matter how dark the night, there is always a way!
Background
I have practiced internationally and within Australia since 2011 so I am accustomed to living multi-culturally and being culturally sensitive. I have run a private practice since 2014 and have worked with a wide range of clientele and issues. I work well with individuals, couples and small groups. I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, life transitions, divorce, self-esteem, assertiveness, codependency, emotional disturbance/overwhelm, childhood trauma, PTSD, abuse, personality and dissociative disorders, behavioral problems and a myriad of other challenges.
Know that whatever it is you struggle with, there is a better way to manage it & meet all your needs at the same time - thus helping you live a satisfied life
Services
I use gentle, non-threatening, creative, expressive, body based methods in a safe, empathetic warm environment to explore difficult sensitive places. Emotions and trauma are stored in the body, for ex: the weight of responsibility may be stored in your shoulders, anxiety may live in your belly, guilt may live in your mind etc. One can only stop carrying these if they are processed and released completely. I work with you helping you build internal resources and equip you with tools you need to build the life you want.
Quality Provision
We will talk about your goals and how to accomplish these goals. Eventually, you will experience a noticeable difference in how you think, perceive, feel and behave. We will communicate about what is working for you and what isn't and I will alter strategies according to what works best.

A conversation with Anugrah Bhagwat

I find the internal worlds' of people beautiful and fascinating and so since I was a teenager I was always curious to learn and understand as much as I could about human behaviour. I just knew in my heart what I wanted to be!
-
In my experience so far, more often than not people walk away from their first session filled with hope. From my part, I generally try and finish a session by teaching my client tools that can help them during the week. By the end of three sessions my clients already have a number of tools and resources to draw upon and use in challenging situations. This makes people see and experience change after two or three sessions.

I absolutely love watching people evolve, change, grow and thrive! It moves me very deeply.

I have my fair share of bad hair days ;)!!!
I have to remind my self to breathe just like anybody else. Having bad hair days is not the bad part. How we treat ourselves during those bad hair days is what matters and that is the impression that lasts in our brain, making a bad hair day maybe...not so bad!! -
