About me
Are you finding things difficult? Please don't feel like you have to struggle alone - I'm here for you. My name is Harjit, and I am a friendly, compassionate, qualified counsellor. I offer you a safe space where you can talk freely, feel understood, valued and accepted just as you are. So, whether you are dealing with something new or something that has been with you for some time, I offer you a caring, supportive place to be. I understand the courage it takes to open up, and I am here to listen to you with kindness, empathy, and respect. With me, you can express yourself openly and honestly, without fear of being judged or dismissed.
I understand that coming to counselling can feel daunting for some or even stir up some anxiety, but please don’t let that put you off. I’m here to help you. I work in a friendly, relaxed and informal manner and I am here to support you every step of the way. In our sessions, I will blend a range of approaches to provide a personal, tailored experience that suits you and meets your needs. We will work together to find the best way for you to explore what is going on for you.
Everyone deserves to be valued and supported, which is why I offer a warm, inclusive space where people from all backgrounds, including those with neurodivergent needs, feel truly welcome. With both personal experience and professional training, I strive to create an inclusive, neurodivergent-friendly practice that understands and actively supports your individual needs. I hope you will find our partnership, and the compassionate challenge I offer, will help you understand yourself better, gain clarity of your situation and find a way to move forward.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I adapt my way of working to what feels most helpful for you. As a qualified Humanistic therapist, my work is rooted in empathy, acceptance and the belief in your ability to change and grow towards your full potential. I blend different humanistic therapeutic approaches to best support your individual needs. Whether you prefer to explore through traditional talking therapy or would like to incorporate more creative approaches, we can work together to find what feels most helpful for you.
I believe that you are the expert in your own experience, and I work hard to offer support and help you gain insight, and new perspectives as you explore what matters to you. Through our collaborative relationship, we create a space where you can:
Explore your thoughts and feelings safely
Understand yourself and your experiences more deeply
Develop new ways of coping with life's challenges
Work towards the changes you want to make
It is important that you find a counsellor who feels right for you. I offer a free 30 minute introductory session so we can get to know each other, touch on what brings you to counselling and to see if we are good fit to work together. Feel free to get in touch- I’d love to hear from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
Alongside my private practice, I work as a specialist counsellor in end-of-life and bereavement care at a hospice, supporting individuals through some of life's most challenging transitions. I also volunteer at a local hospital, providing therapeutic support to NHS staff facing both workplace and personal life challenges.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
It is important that you find a counsellor that suits you. I offer a free 30 minute introductory session. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, touch on what brings you to counselling and to see if we are good fit to work together. If we decide to work together, our work can be short term or longer term open-ended therapy. Our sessions will generally be 1 hour weekly and can take place face to face, over the telephone or online. I offer both daytime and evening sessions.
We can arrange your first session whenever you are ready. We will contract to work together so that we both have a clear understanding of expectations. The first session is a little different as it is an assessment session. During this session, I will ask more questions than usual so that I can gain a deeper understanding of you, your life and your needs. During the assessment session, I will ask you questions like:
What has brought you to counselling now?
What do you want from counselling?
What would you like to know about counselling sessions?
From then on, our sessions are led by you and are yours to use in the way that feels most helpful. You can decide on the issues you wish to explore and the pace at which you wish to tackle them. I will maintain clear boundaries and confidentiality to create a safe space where you can speak openly about whatever is on your mind.
Feel free to get in touch for further information. I look forward to speaking to you.
