Adult and Couples Therapy

Dr.Deepika Gupta

PhD Clinical Psychology

Hi, my name is Deepika and my pronouns are she/her. I am a Clinical Psychologist and have over 15 years of experience. I work with adults and couples in a client led manner to help improve mental health outcomes.

I have worked with individuals with varied social identities in both clinical and workplace settings. While I practice with an eclectic approach, some of the core therapeutic modalities that I use are Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

I also bring with me an extensive experience in the corporate world, where in my previous role, I led the mental health and wellbeing strategy for Google across the Asia Pacific region. I was born and brought up in India and relocated to Australia in 2020. I bring a culturally resonant lens to my work as well.

At a personal level, I decompress by going for long walks, swimming and cooking.

Anxiety and Depression

Some of the clients that I work with, express feelings of being on the edge, uncertain of themselves and unable to experience joy in things. The focus of my work lies in understanding one's triggers, existing circumstances and build helpful coping styles to better take care of oneself through vulnerabilities.

Stress and Adjustment

I recognize the impact of daily life hassles as they top up existing challenges which could be more chronic in nature. With a better understanding of how we tick, how we process our emotions and think through challenges, we can gain greater control over our stressors and find helpful ways to deal with them. It is helpful to take this approach when dealing with personal stressors or workplace challenges like emotional exhaustion and burnout.

Relationship Issues

Relationships, and even the absence of them, can impact our state of wellbeing and mental health. I work with clients who are coping with the loss of a relationship, those who are trying to add healthy communication & authenticity to relationships as well as those who are seeking to strike effective boundaries in relationships. These could be within family systems, between couples and between co-workers.

Imposter Syndrome

Finding who we are in the context of where we are and what others think of who we are can be a complex problem to solve. Often in the context of workplaces, you may find yourself not fitting in quite right or not being able to demonstrate your full capacity. Some of the reasons can lie outside of you - in the system, in the workplace culture and the team design. Some of these can also lie within you - the role models and schemas we have grown up with. In our therapeautic work, we gain insight into these dynamics and build ways to strengthen our self concept to succeed at work.

Job Loss and Redundancy

Given the looming recession and economic headwinds, redundancies are unfortunately becoming more commonplace in big & small organizations. The break of this psychological contract between the employee and the employer can be emotionally damaging. It can also take a toll on the dependents of the employee who has been let go off. In our therapy sessions, we decosntruct it from understanding the news, lining up all ducks in a row, processing complex emotions of grief and preparing ourselves for change. A sliding fee scale is also available at Flannel Psychology if your role has been made redundant.
