Neehara Ravikumar, Registered Psychologist
Neehara is a registered psychologist who works with 16+ and is committed to providing a collaborative, practical, and client-centred approach to therapy. She works with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, confidence and self-esteem concerns, as well as performance-related pressure across work, sport, and everyday life.
Neehara aims to create a supportive space where clients can develop a clearer understanding of their experiences and work toward meaningful change. Her approach is tailored to each individual and informed by evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.
Neehara also has a background in semi-professional basketball, which has shaped her interest in working with athletes. She supports clients in building both psychological skills and overall well-being.
