About me and my therapy practice

Are you looking for a counsellor who can provide an empathic, non-judgemental, neuro-affirming, confidential space? If so, please get in touch. I offer a free 20-minute phone session to discuss your requirements. Hello, I’m Suman, I work with issues ranging from anxiety, bereavement, interracial relationships, depression, trauma, shame, abandonment, childhood sexual abuse, parental challenges, grief, and infant loss, to self-worth, and boundaries. I work with adults aged 16+ and can offer therapy via phone, online, or in person from a dedicated therapy room in Odiham, Hampshire.

My values of respect, integrity, and trustworthiness are reflected in my humanistic philosophy. I strive to create an empowering and supportive therapeutic environment, helping clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

I welcome clients from all walks of life and provide both short-term and long-term therapy options.

As a person of South Asian origin, I can be your desi therapist who offers culturally sensitive therapy informed by first-hand experience, ensuring a holistic approach to addressing cultural issues in therapy.

Besides my private practice, I work as a Manager at a Counselling Agency in Hampshire. Additionally, I volunteer with UK’s leading bereavement charity and with Hart Voluntary Action as a counsellor.

Practice description

Integrative therapy is a holistic approach that combines different therapeutic methods to meet each person’s uniqueness. This enables me to draw on various modalities like person-centered, and psychodynamic alongside creative interventions to work in the best way possible for you as a client.

My approach to counselling is of compassion, empathy, and acceptance by providing you with a safe, non-judgmental space that allows clients to be heard. I strongly believe that you are the expert in your life with my warm calm nature I support you to navigate through your thoughts in a gentle challenging way.

I offer short-term counselling or open-ended so you can work at a pace and depth that suits your goals. This can be discussed in our initial 15-20minute chat which I offer at no cost. As sessions progress, I offer regular reviews on how therapy progresses for you and facilitate any adjustments if needed.

My first session

I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to tell me what brings you to counselling. This gives you space to ask any questions you may have about me or the counselling process.

You can book an initial chat by leaving me a voice message at 07768678694 or drop me an email at suman@yoursafespacecounselling.co.uk. I aim to reply to enquiries within 24 hours during workdays.

After our initial consultation, if we feel we are a good fit, we can agree on a time for sessions and consider the terms of our agreement to work together. Sessions thereafter are 50 minutes long and normally take place weekly.
