Pallvi Dave

 I understand that issues emerge in our lives that can sometimes feel confusing, difficult and even painful, with this in mind my focus will be to encourage a feeling of comfort so that we can talk about and work together with what has led you to seek counselling.  Together we can decide and discuss what feels important at a pace that works for you.

My approach to counselling is psychodynamic and within that I aim to provide a collaborative and respectful style of working to promote honest communication with kindness and curiosity. It could be that you want to find a quick solution to a symptom, or you find yourself in a crisis, or that something in your history is impacting your present. Perhaps you feel you have lost direction or that you find yourself repeating unwanted patterns or behaviours. It could be you need clarity about what is happening in your life at this moment or maybe not knowing exactly what it is that you are looking for. However typical or distinct you may believe your issues to be, your journey to understanding and dealing with them is unique to you, and it is this which will form the basis of our sessions.

An initial appointment is offered as soon as possible after our first contact during which we can assess how we might work together. Our sessions will be for 50 minutes, and usually we will meet once a week.

My practice is situated in a quiet location in northwest London, car parking is readily available as is access to public transport.

Please contact me if you would like to make an appointment or to find out more.
