Sanjit Hussain

Hi my name is Sanj and I provide Counselling and Psychotherapy to adults, children and young people, couples and families. 
I have over 14 years experience in this field of work and before that I’ve always worked in supportive and managerial roles within domestic abuse, homeless services, Cruse bereavement Care, family support worker roles, mental health, children’s worker and family therapy.  

We all face crisis in our lives from time to time, our mental health will go through difficulties just as our physical health. 
Counselling gives you a confidential place to go, someone to talk to, who will listen, someone to explore your difficulties with in a safe secure environment.

I feel the relationship we will have is very important and is built and based on trust. You are the expert in yourself and your life, I am here to facilitate your process to understand and make sense of what it is that your experiencing. I work to enable you to work through the issues you may be facing. Together we define the level of support and therapy required. You are in the driving seat and I will work at your pace alongside therapeutic interventions to enable you to move forward and make sense of what it is that your experiencing, together we work to make progress. 

You are making the second step in accessing support, the first step is acknowledging there's an problem. 
My stance on offering support is to do just that, I work in an empathic, non judgemental manner and try my best to view your world through your eyes, as if in your shoes, My priority is to put you first. I work through conversation as well as through building a rapport and all therapy is bespoke and tailored to you (no one size fits all right?! ) as well as using many different tools from various theoretical bases to enable you to have the best possible experience. 

I offer Counselling in English, Punjabi, Urdu and Mirpuri. I offer short and long term therapy. I work as an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist using various techniques dependant on your needs. I also work in a creative, holistic and spiritual way. I offer 1 hour sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis depending on what works best for you, at times we may run over so be it. I try my best to work around your commitments as well as my diary.
