I am currently accepting new clients for online counselling. I am available at weekends and some weekdays.

I'm Sneha, a fully qualified integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and I provide counselling to those who are 18 and above.

I was brought up in a culture where mental health was never acknowledged, and it inspired me to create a space where seeking support is encouraged. In today's fast-paced life, it can be natural to feel alone or disconnected, even when we're surrounded by people. But you don't have to carry everything on your own; it's okay to reach out.

I work with clients on a range of issues mentioned in my profile, and I specialise in work-based and LGBTQIA+ counselling.

Here are some of the steps you may see during the initial stages of our work together. These vary from person to person, and this is by no means an exhaustive list, but they might give you an idea of my approach.

• Building a warm and supportive relationship so that you may feel comfortable being yourself.
• Breaking things down into smaller and more manageable chunks, working through them one step at a time.
• Respecting your preference to lead the session, or providing more guidance if that's what feels right for you.
• Setting the pace together, and exploring what feels right for you, but only when you're ready.
• Exploring themes and patterns in your thoughts.
• Exploring past relationships and patterns of relating.

Whether you're attending therapy for the first time or trying a different therapist, feel free to get in touch if you'd like to see if we're a good fit.

I use the first session as an opportunity for us to get to know one another, as this will form the foundation of our work together. We will go through the Counselling Agreement together so that you have the opportunity to ask any questions or clarify any concerns. We will then discuss your goals and your expectations of therapy.

As part of the first session, I will also complete a brief questionnaire with you. This helps us understand where you are at the beginning of therapy and allows us to review your progress at different points throughout our work together.
