Online counselling for adults

Professional experience.
A genuinely human approach.

I strive to create a warm and empathetic space for individuals from all walks of life. I support clients facing a variety of challenges, including self-esteem issues, anxiety, relationship difficulties and low mood.

 

As an Indian-British therapist, I have cultivated a particular interest in holistic therapeutic approaches, which consider all aspects of a person.

 

I know how hard it can be to reach out. I offer a space where nothing is too much and nothing needs to be hidden. Together we can explore what has felt heavy, what has been buried and what might be ready to move.

Training and experience

Respect

I work in a way that respects each person and recognises that everyone is unique.

Responsibility

I take my responsibility as a therapist seriously and am committed to providing the support and guidance you need.

Compassion

I am sensitive to suffering in others and dedicated to trying to alleviate it.

Commitment

With many years of experience and in-depth training in person-centred counselling, I offer a high standard of service in every session.

Kindness

I work in a way that demonstrates kindness, so clients feel supported and comfortable sharing their story.

Transparency

I communicate openly and honestly with you, so that you are both informed and involved.

03 — My approach

You remain at the centre of the process

Person-centred counselling rests on empathy, respect and confidentiality. I listen carefully, take your autonomy seriously and work collaboratively with you, moving at a pace that feels appropriate rather than one I decide in advance.

That means I will not tell you what to do or hand you a plan. Instead, sessions give you room to think, feel and understand what sits beneath the surface, with someone alongside you while you do it.

She took the time to truly listen, offered insightful guidance, and helped me navigate some really difficult times.

All names have been changed for confidentiality.

04 — What clients value

Clients have described feeling heard, comfortable, supported and understood

These are words clients have used about their own experience. Every person’s experience of therapy is different.
