Rupa Parthasarathy

Rupa Parthasarathy is an ACA Level 4 Registered Counsellor and an ACA and PACFA certified Clinical Supervisor. She holds a Graduate Diploma of Counselling and brings many years of post-qualification experience to her work with young people, adults and families. Alongside her counselling practice, Rupa provides clinical supervision to counsellors, supporting reflective practice, ethical decision-making and professional development. She has also presented at Australian Counselling Association conferences. She also contributes as a guest lecturer at Western Sydney University.

Rupa welcomes individuals seeking support for themselves, parents concerned about their young person, and family members wanting to improve their relationships. She works respectfully with each person’s values and circumstances, helping them identify where to begin and a way forward together. In her work with parents and families, Rupa helps people explore different perspectives, understand recurring misunderstandings and strengthen communication. She recognises that family members can experience the same situation differently, particularly across generations. She supports conversations in which each person can feel heard and work towards greater understanding.

Rupa’s counselling approach is person-centred, collaborative and practical. She helps individuals make sense of their experiences, recognise patterns in their responses and relationships, and develop ways to communicate their needs and navigate difficult situations. Sessions provide space for reflection alongside working towards changes that matter to each client.
