About me

Hello. Perhaps you're looking for a therapist because you're worried, down, stuck or frustrated. I frequently support people through such experiences - as well as the below. The list is not exhaustive though so feel free to get in touch if you don't see what you are looking for and we could discuss.

  • interpersonal/relationship problems
  • work-related difficulties
  • feeling low or depressed
  • anxiety
  • loss - of any form
  • stress
  • a general feeling of dissatisfaction and/or confusion.

Shop around
The first session(s) is/are for you to see if you feel comfortable with me. There is no obligation to continue beyond this so shop around if you don't! I will also be seeing if I feel I'm best placed to help you. Research consistently points to the connection between counsellor and client being the most important factor in the success of therapy.

About me
Paying attention to professional ethics is paramount to me; therapy is my passion and vocation.

I counsel face-to-face in Leytonstone E11, and online via Skype. I am a senior accredited counsellor/psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer. I have eight years of experience in the field, working in the UK and in the Netherlands. Alongside private practice, I have worked as a Clinical Lead for an NHS counselling service in North London.

My website www.chandcounselling.co.uk gives more detail about what I offer, including a copy of the Counselling Agreement that I tend to work to. Alternatively, please get in touch if you have questions.

Warmly,
Rakhi
