My name is Pashmina, I am an experienced Relational Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I am Indian by origin, and have lived in Africa, Spain, Middle East and the UK. With my experience and London being so ethnically diverse, cultural and social differences play a huge role in my practice and continues to be an area of focus. I have gained experience of working with anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship issues, and many other issues. I continue to work with clients at a centre affiliated with the NHS and as well as clients in my private practice. I offer both short-term and open ended therapy.

The fact that I am Indian, brought up in Spain and lived in the UK for 25 years, gives me the extra skill of knowledge of these three cultures.
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.

I have a particular interest in working with the South Asian community (this includes individuals and couples from an Indian, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Pakistani, and Sri Lankan background, among others).
Please note: Enquiries via EMAIL only, I will respond within 24 hours. Drop me an email to arrange a quick chat. I work with South Asians looking to actively break intergenerational patterns of dysfunction and take ownership of their life choices, build resilience and tap into their cultural strengths. If you're seeking to break free from unhealthy attachment patterns and committed to breaking the cycle of generational trauma - I see you! If you consider yourself a 'cycle-breaker' - we'd be a GREAT fit! Reach out to book a free 10-minute intro video call.

I understand that reaching out for support can evoke much anxiety. I am here to work at your pace and with your agenda in a non judgemental space. I have learned that our reaction to challenges in our adult lives can often be related to our childhood experiences. Within our partnership we will be able to work through childhood trauma, attachment and how they may impact on your current mental health. I offer a holistic approach which allows clients to bring every aspect of themselves, creating a heart to heart connection. With children and Adolescence I work to support and understand their experiences and stages of development.

We all struggle at times and feel hard to find a way forward. When our minds won’t stop racing and we can’t find a way to move forward. I’m here to support you through these times. I offer a confidential, safe, and non-judgmental space, for you to share and explore what’s going on for you. Together we can look at making positive changes to make things more manageable. I work in a humanistic way, using an integrative style by adapting my therapy to what suits your needs. This could range from working on things in the present to working on trauma that has affected you from childhood.

People who are finding every day a real struggle with strong, even overwhelming feelings of depression, anxiety, stress, anger. At the other end of the spectrum are some who may have feelings of dissatisfaction a sense that they are not getting all they want in their lives. I believe that all of us want to strive to be happier and more fulfilled than we currently are. We want to feel a connection with other people and to have a sense of well being and connection with the world around us.

Life is full of events, relationships, stresses and strains and all these impact on us in many different ways. It can affect all the important things to us such as school, work, relationships and our own perception of ourselves. This can be tiring and overwhelming. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way and I believe strongly that a person can benefit from having a space to discuss their feelings and develop ideas and strategies to improve their emotional wellbeing.

I believe every individual has deep inherent dignity and that people are worth caring for. Yet we live in a world where we will suffer, some of us in deep and profound ways. I meet with many clients who have complex trauma or are working through challenges related to family or church hurt. They all desire to experience life differently, to heal and be renewed. Many of my clients also desire to work with a counsellor who has a Christian perspective and can offer insights on difficulties with Christian community.

I help high-performing professionals/entrepreneurs, they are often driven by logic and working in tech/finance/law/media/arts. I specialise in helping people develop a relationship with their body, and to understand the impact of their feelings and emotions on the body and vice versa. I often work with those with experience of living life on the edge, and/or complex, troubled relationships. I work well with people for whom talking about personal matters feels very difficult. I am not easily shocked and I also understand the need for taking things slowly and sensitively. My approach is kind, practical, down-to-earth and creative.

You've reached this page for many reasons, from being diagnosed with a mental health problem to feeling stuck and unable to progress in particular areas of life. I work from the premise that you are an active participant in therapy and hold choice and responsibility in how you want to move forward, whether this includes making sense of, accepting and processing things that have happened to you, or developing existing skills and building new strategies to cope with life's challenges.
