About me
Hello, and welcome. My name is Purima Kaur and I’m a qualified counsellor with over 25 years of experience working across statutory and voluntary services, supporting people through life’s most challenging times.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent two decades working as an Advisor in an organisation, where I supported individuals and families facing homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction and mental health struggles. Those years taught me that everyone’s lived experience matters and that with the right support and change, healing is always possible.
As a woman of Asian descent and a mother of three, I understand how cultural expectations, family dynamics, and life’s pressures can affect our wellbeing. My approach to counselling is warm, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental and mainly deliver the person centred therapy model. I create a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly face-to-face or online to explore your thoughts and emotions, and work towards positive change at your own pace.
I believe in empowering my clients to rediscover their inner strength and resilience. Whether you’re facing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, or simply feeling lost, I’m here to help you find clarity and balance in your life.

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.
