About me

Hi, I am Seema, a BACP qualified and an experienced RELATE trained relationship and individual counsellor.

You might look like you’ve got it all together: career, ambition, success. But underneath, you are exhausted. You feel stuck in the cycle of over-giving, people-pleasing, and carrying the emotional load for others. You struggle to say no. You feel guilty when you prioritise yourself and deep down, you’re wondering “when is it my turn?”

You might be at a point in your life where you feel stuck; something is holding you back or troubling you. You may already know what is causing you a problem and you could be looking for a more holistic approach.

I am here to support you in making it your turn without guilt, burnout or losing yourself in the process. 

I offer counselling tailormade to the needs of my client.

Training, qualifications & experience


I am BPS and BACP registered and qualified, with both a BSc and MSc in Psychology with over 1000 hours of counselling experience. Also I am a RELATE trained and qualified relationship counsellor who has extensive experience supporting individuals and couples through relationship challenges, communication breakdowns and emotional disconnection.

I work integratively so that my counselling is 100% bespoke to you and your needs. I combine person-centred, psychodynamic, systemic, humanistic schools of thought to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions in a safe, warm, accepting, non-judgemental space. I support personal growth through raising self-awareness

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

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.

Counselling helps you to work through your issues in a therapeutic way, creating a tool-box that you can use in your everyday life to help you manage yourself and overcome your fears.

You don’t have to carry this alone.

If you’re ready to explore therapy, the first step is a 50-minute consultation, where we’ll talk through what’s bringing you here, what you hope for, and whether we’re a good fit to work together.

I offer the first session at the discounted rate of £40. Book a call and we can discuss further. 

Further information

As a counsellor of Asian Indian heritage, I bring lived understanding of the complexities that come with cultural expectations, generation roles and the emotional weight of family responsibility. I hold particular awareness around:

Intergenerational trauma

Attachment wounds shaped by family and cultural dynamics

The tension between tradition and individuality

Navigating identity and self-worth in the context of cultural norms

These are often deeply rooted and hard to untangle alone. 

Counselling can be a powerful, affirming space to make sense of these experiences and reclaim your voice.

I work integratively so that my counselling is 100% bespoke to you and your needs. I combine person-centred, psychodynamic, systemic, humanistic schools of thought to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions in a safe, warm, accepting, non-judgemental space. I support personal growth through raising self-awareness.
