Counselling is a collaborative process in which honesty and trust are paramount. At times the process can be challenging, requiring a willingness to work through painful feelings. But it can also be very rewarding as you start to understand yourself better and learn to approach life’s ups and downs with fresh eyes. Counselling offers a uniquely safe and supportive space in which you can talk about your deepest feelings with someone unrelated to you in your everyday life. It isn’t always easy to talk to family or friends when you’re feeling lonely, unhappy, or overwhelmed. You may be anxious about burdening others. You may be fearful of being rejected or worried that others will judge you. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with a trained Counsellor can provide relief, enabling you to explore and gain insight into your thoughts, feelings and emotions. I believe that therapy can offer a gentle, supportive environment that can help you to understand your life history in all its contradictions and complexities.
I highly value a strong therapeutic relationship as central to the process of change. If the process or the way I work does not feel like a good fit for you, I will help refer you to other services that are more suited to your needs.
I offer sessions in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Marathi and offer online and in person sessions in Ashford, Surrey.
