About me

I am a qualified integrative counsellor, offering a thoughtful, flexible, and personalised approach to therapy. Integrative counselling brings together a range of therapeutic models, enabling me to draw on different techniques and perspectives to best support each individual. I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to counselling—every person is unique, and therapy should reflect that. My work is grounded in seeing you as a whole person, taking into account your emotional, psychological, relational, and cultural experiences.

I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can begin to explore the challenges you are facing at your own pace. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, loss, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I will work alongside you to help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will gently explore what may be underlying your current struggles, helping you gain deeper self-awareness and clarity.

A key part of our work may involve understanding and working through difficult emotions, as well as identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour that may be keeping you stuck. I will support you in developing healthier ways of coping, relating, and responding to life’s challenges, empowering you to move towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.

I recognise that reaching out for support can feel daunting. Building trust is an important part of the therapeutic process, and I am committed to creating a space where you feel heard, accepted, and valued without judgement. My approach is compassionate, respectful, and collaborative—we will work together in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful to you.

I have completed my counselling training through a Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) accredited course. I am committed to maintaining high professional standards and continue to develop my knowledge and skills through ongoing training and professional development.

In addition to English, I am fluent in Tamil and offer counselling in Tamil. I understand the importance of language and cultural sensitivity in therapy, and I aim to provide a space where you can express yourself freely and feel truly understood.

If you are considering counselling, I would be happy to speak with you and explore how we might work together.

Written on Apr 23, 2025 after therapy with Rajitha for 4 weeks on issues concerning trauma and abuse, eating disorders, and anger management

Rajitha is a good listener, and distills everything down into some very good advice and strategies for dealing with the issues I am having, upto and including total overwhelm with what are normal life occurrences but that have all occurred in close sequence and unpredictable order.
