• Hello, I am a qualified Transactional Analysis psychotherapeutic counsellor. I help clients explore, reflect and understand how they are feeling. Holding equal light to past experiences and the here and now. This means you can heal some of your past wounds and look to carve out a here and now experience that you want.

  Issues I have worked with include:

  Breaking down addictions- I explore what is driving the person to the addiction and work towards a sense of recovery and stability.

  Acknowledging multi-culturalism- As someone with Indian parents and brought up in the UK, I feel I have an understanding of some of the issues faced by both 1st & 2nd generation immigrants. I have worked with people from various ethnic backgrounds and have explored the potential pressures of living within multiple cultures.

  Transitional work-This work often takes place after a life change, such as a bereavement or change in circumstance. I help clients to explore where they are currently, focusing on the person they want to be as opposed to the person they think they should be.

  Understanding mental health conditions- For over 10 years within various mental health settings, working with people with mental health diagnoses, helping them make sense of their diagnosis and building an identity that is not a label.

  Shedding light on abuse- Working with clients who have experienced various types of abuse, this work requires patience and working to the client’s pace.

  Relationship issues- Often clients who are experiencing relationship issues can be in conflict with themselves. I pay attention to the client’s relationship with themselves and others to promote healthier ways of communicating.
