Sujatha Iyer

I have come to counselling and psychotherapy as my second career after spending over 25 years in the corporate sector as part of the human resources function for global technology companies. My desire and ability to connect with people combined with a quest to find deeper meaning in my work led me to retrain and find my true vocation. I have navigated challenging life experiences and have grown and found peace through my own personal therapy.

I’m versatile in my clinical approach, drawing from a rich theoretical foundation having trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist. I welcome the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds. I understand what it means to be at the intersection of cultures, beliefs, and values and how challenging life can feel.

As an integrative therapist, we're not limited to a single approach of therapy. I pull on a number of approaches to develop and offer us the opportunity to collaboratively find our own unique way. I provide a safe space for us to work with your past, present and future - to help you find patterns and meaning in your life, to feel supported and, at times, challenged. Much of the therapy I offer is an exploration of what makes you who you are. I am also a Mindfulness Coach and offer Mindfulness techniques in sessions that include guided meditations and journaling.

I welcome the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds. I offer face-to-face and online sessions in English, Tamil, Hindi & Marathi.

I work from home in Ashford, Surrey, in a safe and comfortable, purpose-built therapy with easy and private parking.

I offer a free 20-minute telephone/online consultation to allow us the chance to determine if we are the right fit for each other. If you think you would like to work with me, you can book a session or free consultation by calling me 07876757403 or emailing sujatha@empathics.co.uk. I aim to reply to enquiries within 24 hours during workdays. 

I hope to create a safe, confidential, and empathic space for you to express the difficult feelings and experiences you are facing without fearing judgement. We will work at your pace and a style that suits your needs.

The initial, free 20 minute session is a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to tell me what brings you to counselling. It will be a space for you to ask any questions you may have about me, or the counselling process and I’ll do my best to answer these.
