Experience

I've been offering counselling to adults on a one to one basis for a number of years, I truly enjoy my work

In addition to counselling, I also successfully manage a mental health support service for vulnerable adults living in the community; the goal is to promote independent living.

Having spent 10 years in the mental health health field I have developed a solid understanding of what it means to be mentally healthy. My work is dedicated to helping peope find a positive and healthy attitude towards their own mental health.

Other areas of counselling I deal with

Confidence building
Cultural issues
Identity issues
Low self esteem

Further information

I can speak moderate Punjabi if you would find this helpful please let me know.

Although I work with all adults, it's worth highlighting that I've a specialist interest in working with males, and in addition people from ethnic minorities. The reason being that the research suggests that people from such demographics are less likely to access counselling, even though it's evident that counselling is likely to help with an individual's wellbeing.

I have studied culture and identity extensively and would really like to make an effort to reach out to those that aren't particularly accessing counselling. I want to attempt to help people, so that they aren't suffering silently.
