About us
Hello, I'm Kiranadhi, and I offer psychotherapeutic counselling in person in Hertford and in Queens Park in London, as well as online. I welcome working with people of all backgrounds, cultures, identities, abilities/disabilities and faiths. It might be that some aspect of living with difference in a community is part of your reason for coming to therapy and equally it may not.

Being relational is at the heart of my therapeutic approach. You can expect a warm, non-judgemental space for whatever needs expression, to be deeply listened to and supported.
We go at the pace that you need, with curiosity about what is emerging for you, as well as exploring what has happened to you. I practise with trauma awareness, drawing upon somatic approaches and nervous system regulation.
My commitment to inclusion is a core value based on my professional background of 20 years working with marginalised and excluded young people and children. This has included training adults in educational settings on ADHD, autism and trauma. My understanding of the impact of early adversities has provided an essential foundation for supporting individuals on their journey to resilience and acceptance, to find that transformation is possible.
Compassion is balanced with gentle challenge, where needed and invited. This sensitive attunement provides both holding and guidance towards supporting you to access your own inner wisdom.
Choosing the right therapist for you is important, so please take a look at my website for more information www.psychematters.co.uk - I offer a free 15 minute online consultation so we can see if we are a good fit. I encourage you to let me know about any adaptations that might support you to access therapy, including financial considerations.
The next step will be agreeing a mutually convenient day and time to meet for a first session with the agreed fee. Each session is 50 minutes.
The first session can sometimes feels a little more structured as I will likely ask you to share a bit more about significant relationships and events in your life, that relate to your reasons for coming to therapy.
Whether you have a lot of experience of therapy or this is your first time, each encounter is unique and you can show up with whatever needs to be here.
My practice integrates several therapeutic models including Jungian, psychodynamic, relational, Gestalt, nervous-system and somatic therapy, and ecopsychology. This approach allows a unique response to what arises in the work.
There is opportunity for creativity where it feels right for you. This may be through attending to images, dreams, embodied approaches or stories, which can be soulful ways of accessing the parts of experience which are less conscious. These less conscious aspects may include memories, and may be a calling to reflect on your life. Equally they may be aspects of yourself that are yet to emerge.
My training has a transpersonal dimension, which creates space for attention to existential, social, planetary and spiritual questions. This call all be held with meaning alongside day-to-day struggles and significant life transitions and crises.
‘Meaning makes life bearable and is the gift of being here in the ruthless furnace of the world.’ James Hollis
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at Re-Vision in London and hold a diploma in Integrative Transpersonal counselling, with post qualification experience. I am currently undertaking an advanced diploma with Re-Vision as a psychotherapist.
Prior to setting up Psyche Matters Therapy, I worked at The Psychosynthesis Trust in London, and Mind in Enfield & Barnet as a volunteer.
I have a degree in psychology and have spent two decades working with children and adolescents with social, emotional and mental health difficulties, as well as delivering training to schools on autism, ADHD and trauma perceptive practice.

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.
