About me
Hiya, I’m Rajan. Thanks for taking the time to look through my profile. Have a read, and if you feel I might be the right therapist for you, please get in touch.
Life can bring unexpected challenges, and there may be times when anxiety, stress or low mood become difficult to manage on your own. You may know that something isn’t quite right without necessarily knowing why or what needs to change.
These difficulties can affect how you feel day to day, your relationships, your work and the way you engage with life.
As an accredited and UKCP-registered psychotherapist, I offer a warm, safe and non-judgemental space where we can explore what is happening for you. Together, we can make sense of difficult experiences and repeating patterns and begin to find a way forward.
Core Services & Areas of Expertise
Individual Therapy for Adults
Many people come to me looking for help with anxiety, low mood, depression or OCD. But what I’ve noticed is that anxiety can mean very different things to different people.
You may be experiencing:
- a lack of fulfilment or a sense that you’re not reaching your potential
- a general feeling of unhappiness or dissatisfaction
- feeling unhappy or stuck at work
- not engaging with life as much as you would like
- difficulties within relationships
- anxiety or patterns of thinking that are difficult to move away from
You may also have begun to notice patterns that keep repeating in your life or relationships and want to understand where they come from and why they are difficult to change.
Therapy can be short-term and focused on a particular difficulty, or longer-term, giving us the opportunity to explore more deeply rooted patterns, experiences and relationships.
Attachment-Based Couples Therapy
Relationships can go through periods when communication becomes difficult, conflict increases or you simply stop feeling as connected as you once did.
Working from an attachment-based perspective, I help couples explore:
- patterns of communication
- underlying anxieties and insecurities
- recurring conflict
- the relational dynamics that can leave each partner feeling unheard or disconnected
Couples therapy offers an opportunity to step back from these patterns, understand one another differently and begin rebuilding your connection.
Counselling for Young People & Adolescents
Finding the right help for a young person can come with added pressure, both for them and for the adults supporting them. Having a neutral space in which to talk and explore what is happening can make an important difference.
I provide non-directive therapy for young people and adolescents experiencing difficulties including:
- school anxiety, attendance and engagement
- educational or performance pressure
- bullying
- peer pressure
- anxiety and emotional distress
If you're looking for support for a young person and have questions about how therapy might work, please feel free to get in touch.
EMDR Therapy (Accredited UK & Ireland)
I also offer Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be used to work with trauma, distressing memories and experiences that continue to affect you in the present.
How I Work
My work is rooted in a person-centred and humanistic approach. I believe that, given the right therapeutic environment, people have the capacity to understand themselves more deeply and work through difficulties at their own pace.
Empathetic & Non-Directive: Our work is collaborative rather than prescriptive. My role isn't to tell you how to live your life, but to help you explore what is happening, understand yourself more deeply and find your own way forward.
Inclusive & Unbiased: I offer a welcoming, respectful and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and be yourself.
Confidentiality & Boundaries: Confidentiality and clear boundaries are an important part of therapy. At the beginning of our work together, I will explain how confidentiality works so that you know what you can expect from me and from our sessions.

school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).

Further information
An Integrative Approach Tailored to You...
While my foundational framework is person-centred, I work integratively by drawing on psychodynamic and analytical principles as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques.
Because every individual experiences challenges differently, I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all model. My primary objective is to offer a tailored, flexible approach shaped entirely around your specific needs - whether that means exploring childhood patterns and underlying root causes (psychodynamic) or developing practical coping strategies for current thoughts and behaviours (CBT).
