Your Safe Space Counselling
Teen, Young People & Adults
Welcome to my profile, I’m Suman a qualified and registered therapeutic counsellor with the BACP- British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I work with teens aged over 13, young people and adults. Sessions can be online or face-to-face from a dedicated therapy room in Odiham or Fleet in Hampshire. My personal values of respect, integrity and trustworthiness are reflected in my humanistic philosophy.
I trained as an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor which means I draw from a range of modalities like person-centred, attachment theory, CBT and inner child work alongside creative interventions to work in the best way possible for you as an individual. I strive to create a environment that is empowering and supportive, aiding you develop a deeper understanding of thoughts, feelings that make your experiences and your relationships unique.
Anxiety, depression, PTSD, health-related issues, relationships, stress, childhood trauma, bereavement, low self-esteem, sexual abuse, self-harm behaviours, grief, suicidal ideation, ADHD, coercive control, infant loss are some of the areas I have experience working with. My approach to counselling is one of compassion, empathy and acceptance.
Counselling can provide clarity about your feelings by offering you power to take ownership of your thoughts, which is in tune with your values. I provide a judgment free space which allows you to be heard. My warm, calm nature supports you to navigate through your thoughts in a gentle, challenging way.
As a person of Indian/South Asian origin, I can offer culturally sensitive therapy, ensuring a holistic approach to addressing cultural issues. Besides my private practice, I work as a Service Manager at a Counselling Agency in Hampshire. Additionally, I volunteered with the UK’s leading bereavement charity and with Hart Voluntary Action as a counsellor.
