Mayouri is a neurodiversity-affirming and person-centred therapist who adopts a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach. Fluent in English, Marathi, and Hindi, she brings a deep appreciation for cultural, linguistic, and minority identities to her work. As a trained Yoga and mindfulness teacher, she thoughtfully integrates evidence-based psychological frameworks with Eastern spiritual practices to offer holistic and culturally sensitive care.
​
She is dedicated to creating a warm, empathetic, and collaborative therapeutic environment that fosters connection, resilience, and relational well-being. Mayouri supports clients in navigating life transitions and relationship challenges—helping them cultivate more satisfying, secure, and meaningful connections with partners, family, friends, colleagues, and themselves. She emphasises the importance of enhancing communication and emotional skills to build compassion, flexibility, intimacy, and self-awareness.
​
Grounded in the belief that the quality of our relationships profoundly influences our mental, emotional, and physical health, Mayouri works from a non-pathologising perspective. She uses a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for individuals and couples, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Gottman Method techniques, Mindfulness-based MCBT, and Somatic Psychotherapy (Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy).
​
Mayouri is formally trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), with additional specialised training in attachment-based EMDR. Her work integrates the structured, evidence-based protocols of EMDR with a deep attunement to relational and developmental trauma. By combining EMDR’s powerful trauma-processing framework with the emotion-centred, connection-focused principles of EFT, Mayouri helps clients safely explore and resolve distressing experiences, while also fostering secure emotional bonds and inner resilience. This dual approach is especially effective in working with attachment injuries, complex trauma, and relationship challenges, offering clients a path toward both healing and reconnection.
Her clinical experience covers mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, eating disorders, psychosis, personality divergences, and neurodivergence. She works with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families on complex trauma, PTSD, identity, grief, ADHD, autism, OCD, learning differences and other neurodivergences.
​
Sessions are tailored to each client’s needs and draw on holistic frameworks that honour the connection between mind, body, and environment. As a trained yoga and mindfulness teacher, Mayouri thoughtfully weaves somatic and contemplative practices into her work to support embodied awareness, emotional resilience, and long-term wellbeing.
​
Outside of her professional work, Mayouri enjoys exercise, forest bathing, tramping/hiking, meditation, Yoga, fostering rescue animals, and creating nourishing vegan meals for loved ones.
