I have over 15 years of experience of counselling and psychotherapy working with people with a wide variety of issues, such as relationship issues, anxiety, stress, loss and depression. My aim is to help you achieve what you need to feel happier in your life feeling listened to and understood. Repeating old patterns and ways may lead us to feel unhappy with ourselves and our lives. I will help you work through things that may be keeping you stuck and find new ways to move forward, helping you to be more the way you want to be.

I believe that the counselling relationship is a collaborative one, in which, you, the client, is the expert in your own life.
In my experience, people make the decision to come to counselling for many reasons, and I understand that it can feel very daunting to embark on a journey of this kind. I have a number of years experience of working with individuals with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, anger, loss and bereavement, addictive behaviours, as well as family/work/ relationship issues. I believe that just being able to talk about your thoughts and feelings can often bring great relief, and this experience can be life changing.

Whether dealing with past traumas, current stressors, relationship issues, or simply seeking direction with personal growth, I provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to address and work through their mental health concerns.
I have a special interest in menopause and the huge effect this can have on a woman's mental health as they navigate this life change. I understand that a woman can struggle with her sense of identity during this time, and may suffer with anxiety, depression and a drop in confidence. Often they feel unheard by others and may believe that they are everything to everybody else - but who are they? They may need to make their voice heard, to speak to someone who can help them to work through the issues they are facing. They may wish to explore patterns of behaviour and to try to identify why they feel and relate the way that they do.

Anxiety, self-doubt, low self-esteem, persistent or seemingly unexplainable feelings of low-mood are all common concerns that many of us will experience at some point in our lives- you are not alone. Perhaps current distressing thoughts, feelings of overwhelm or harmful behaviours have come as a result of a sudden change that you are struggling to process alone; a recent bereavement, relationship breakdown, serious health diagnosis or you have experienced a traumatic injury or assault.

I believe the most important factor in establishing a positive therapeutic counselling relationship is that you feel safe and comfortable to engage in the work with me.
If you are stuck in some challenging situations, feeling tired, frustrated or overwhelmed, not knowing what to do, I would like to offer you the appropriate resources and support. Even people with supportive family or friends may find it difficult to discuss personal issues with those close to them. Counselling provides a setting that is impartial, safe and confidential. It can help to bring insight into your difficulties thus helping you to deal with them and move on to enjoy the life.

The thought of seeking counselling or psychotherapy can feel like a daunting prospect. However sometimes we can face struggles in life that seem too difficult to cope with alone. It takes courage in taking the first steps to seek help and support. My personal philosophy is that we are all complex unique individuals with our own needs, but sometimes these needs get distorted as we try to fit in and be accepted by others, or we simply become lost in the "busy-ness" of our lives.

Some of the issues I frequently support clients with include anxiety or other difficulties, within relationships with partners, friends, family members; people pleasing through fear of rejection or disagreement; work-related stress & anxiety; feelings of loneliness / isolation; feeling stuck; emotional regulation. These are all natural things to struggle with, but change is possible and therapy can help.

Hi, I am Varsha and I would like to introduce myself. The slogan is "Everyone can transform from the ugly duckling to the real swan they are meant to be". In these few words of this quote, I am introducing myself. like you, I am a person who has experienced life's up's and down's, has been in the depth of the well of sadness, confusion, wanting to let everything go ... I have screamed, hidden, while been in the dark, cold and surrounded by walls that are getting more narrow by the hour. Strangely something inside me woke up because someone heard me screaming "help", even when I was embarrassed asking for support.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
