Mariam Bhunnoo

I am an experienced BACP Accredited Integrative Psychotherpeutic Counsellor, Coach and Holistic Therapist. 

I believe that each person is unique (and therefore one approach doesn't fit all), and that a holistic view is crucial to mental wellbeing. I have spent the last 12 years developing an effective toolbox of various skills to draw upon, that will help you make sense of your situation, gain deeper clarity and understanding, and ultimately help to free yourself from the depths of your suffering. 

I understand how scary it can feel entering in to such a relationship. In my own life I experienced some very challenging experiences and was fortunate to receive counselling as it gave me the space to process my experiences, and to piece together the jigsaw of my life. So I make it my priority to ensure you feel really welcome, safe, supported and held.

My intention is to support you to feel more empowered and back in control of your life, your emotions and your experiences. I can help you to explore your challenges, help you to reconnect with yourself, and strengthen your own internal resources, as well as teach you new techniques that will support your growth. I can help you to understand and befriend the "noise" in your head, identify and break free from unhealthy and unhelpful patterns.

I have a personal interest in nutrition, health and wellness, as well as Eastern philosophies (especially around Buddhist teachings), and have a regular yoga and meditation practice, all of which influence and are sometimes integrated into my client work. I am also currently training to become a Yoga Therapist for mental health. I am proud of the way I am able to offer a holistic approach to supporting mental health. 

Although I work with most presentations, I particularly enjoy supporting people facing issues around childhood trauma/difficulties, abuse and trauma, anxiety, depression and stress related issues.
