Salini Cicily Augustine is a counselling psychologist specialising in adult mental health, anxiety, and postpartum support.
She holds an M.A. in Counselling Psychology and has 12 years of clinical experience across hospital, school, and private-practice settings. Salini has a particular focus on perinatal and postpartum mental health — supporting women through pregnancy, after birth, and the months and years of identity shift that follow. Alongside this work, she sees adults navigating persistent anxiety, low mood, and the major life transitions of adulthood.
Clients describe Salini as warm, practical, and unhurried. She has a quiet way of normalising what often feels unspeakable — particularly for new mothers carrying the silent weight of guilt or anxiety. Her aim isn’t to push for resolution but to help people understand themselves better and act from a steadier, more grounded place.
Salini works primarily from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and person-centred frameworks, with a strong emphasis on the physiological side of anxiety — how the body holds tension, how breath and sleep shape mood, and how small daily changes accumulate over weeks into meaningful shifts.
Sessions are collaborative. She’ll work with you to identify what’s keeping a difficult pattern in place, then build small, doable steps you can practise between sessions. She tracks progress carefully and reviews it with you, so you can see what’s actually shifting rather than guessing.
