Jyoti Gulati

I currently have some daytime availability

I am a fully qualified and experienced integrative therapist and offer a safe and confidential environment. I've worked with adults of all ages and have a special interest in understanding identity. The space we occupy in our family, in the work place, and what we carry in our cultural belonging. Difficulties such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, addiction, chronic pain can be overwhelming. Somewhere safe to explore your lived experience can offer a way to understand the root of these problems; through a trusting therapeutic relationship, you can build new approaches, change old relationship patterns,, which can help to make life more fulfilling. 

I am especially attuned to how identity and cultural difference can impact one's sense of self. Integrating identity  and background into one's lived experience can help create meaningful relationships. 

I work in person in various locations in London. I also work online. 

I offer an initial 15 minute telephone conversations where we can meet each other and decide whether this therapeutic relationship might meet your needs. 

In our first session, I will ask you a little more about your family, and a little more detail about the difficulties you are experiencing. 

We can discuss what you hope to get out of therapy, and some aspects of how our contract might work. 

If you decide to proceed, I would suggest committing to 6 weeks initially and towards the end of this period, we can together review whether you might to continue with more open-ended, longer term arrangement

Finding a therapist that matches your needs can be hard and time consuming. I offer an initial free 15 minutes telephone conversation where we can chat about your needs and I can explain a little about how I work. We can then decide if you would like to have a first session.

I am a fully qualified, BACP registered experienced therapist. I have a Diploma in Counselling from the Minster Centre in London. I have worked with  adults of all ages at various low-cost services, providing short and long term therapy. Examples of issues that I have worked are  depression, anxiety, loneliness, abuse, trauma, racial abuse, identity issues, grief, addiction, work-related difficulties. I am especially interest in working with issues around identity and belonging, which can impact our sense of self and our relationships. 

In our first session, I will explain a little more about how I work but mostly, this is an opportunity for me to better understand what brings you to therapy and for you to decide if this would work for you. 

If you decide to proceed, we will meet at an agreed time for a weekly session. Sessions last 50 minutes and together we will explore your lived experience and the difficulties that bring you to therapy. We will look at current circumstances, and make links with early life patterns, and together, work on strategies that will bring about relief and change. 

How long we work together depends on you. There isn't a "one size fits all" answer to how long we work together, but I would suggest we contract to work for 6 sessions to begin with and then review where you're at. 

I work with adults of all ages and can accommodate in-person or online sessions, and occasionally, a blended model can suit work schedules and busy life-styles.

Sessions last 50 minutes. 

I have worked with adults of all ages and backgrounds (including young adults) and, I have experience of working with short and long-term contracts. 

I have worked with non-English speaking adults in Hindi and Urdu. 

In the first session, I will ask you to describe in more detail, the issues that bring you to therapy and your goals for therapy. We will talk a little about family and relevant medical history. 

I hope the first session will gave you an experience of the safe, confidential and unjudgemental space that I endeavour to provide. 

I would then suggest that you have a think about whether you want to continue, and we can then agree a weekly time to meet.
