Aakriti Malik

I’m Aakriti, a dual licensed Clinical Psychologist in India and New Zealand. I have 12 years of experience in offering trauma focused therapy to adults (aged 18-60 years) in India, Malaysia and now Aotearoa.

My approach to therapy: I offer a warm, compassionate, and culturally attuned space where you can explore, heal, and reconnect with your authentic self and lead a life with abundant courage, clarity and confidence. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), a gentle yet powerful trauma-focused approach, I help you befriend every part of yourself—even the ones carrying pain, fear, shame and intergenerational burdens.

Who I work with: I support highly motivated adults (18-60 years) who:
– Struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief
– Feel burnt out, unfulfilled, or struggle in work and relationships
– Feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, perfectionism, or people-pleasing
– Are navigating big life changes—migration, postpartum, or identity shifts
– Wish to explore their inner world for the purpose of personal growth and development.

Internal Family Systems as an approach has been deeply transformative for me, personally and for my clients, in their work with me.

Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself—it’s about welcoming yourself home.

If you’re ready to take the next step, schedule a no- obligation free 15 mins consult with me today prior to your first session- Write “consult" with your name, concerns and details to get started.

I look forward to supporting you on your healing journey
