We had the pleasure of having Rishi run a motivational interviewing (MI) session at Elevate, and the impact has been very valuable. His session was engaging, well-structured, and highly practical—providing tools and frameworks we could immediately apply in our day-to-day interactions with clients. Highly recommend Rishi for any team wanting to enhance their client-centred communication skills.

I had an exceptional experience with Indus Therapy and Consulting in Balwyn, Victoria. From the moment I walked through their doors, I felt welcomed and valued as a client. The staff here are not only highly professional but also genuinely caring and compassionate. They took the time to understand my needs and tailored a therapy plan that was perfect for me. Their expertise and dedication to helping clients achieve their goals are truly commendable. The therapy sessions I received were incredibly effective, and I could feel the positive impact on my well-being after each visit. The therapists are skilled and knowledgeable, making me feel confident in their care. The ambiance at Indus Therapy and Consulting is soothing and conducive to relaxation, which adds to the overall therapeutic experience. They create a safe and supportive environment where you can comfortably address your concerns. I also appreciate their commitment to ongoing improvement and staying up-to-date with the latest therapeutic techniques.

Rishi as a Human

Rishi is a nerd at heart. He rides motorcycles, enjoys tattoos, stays in fitness, and loves cooking epic meals. He grew up trying to make sense of neurodivergence, trauma, and culture. Therapy with Rishi isn’t clinical in the cold sense — it’s human, authentic, and real.

Mr Otis, his Frenchie, often joins sessions as a support pup. You’re welcome to request his company if that helps you feel grounded.

Success Stories Shared by Our Customers

Highly recommend Indus-therapy!

Rishi is exceptional, he creates a safe and welcoming space where you can openly discuss your concerns. He is compassionate, empathetic, and truly skilled. I was able to have both zoom and in person sessions which was very convenient. Truly transformative!

Radika

I found Rishi to be very understanding and helpful, and never made me feel judged. I definitely recommend him, especially for clients experiencing severe anxiety or trauma. I felt at ease with him from our first session, which can be very rare when seeking help for difficult situations. I would rate him higher if I could.
