Umaa Thampu - Dip.Couns MBACP (regd)

About me

Hello my name is Umaa and I am a registered Gestalt Counsellor Dip.Couns (MBACP) regd.
My passion is enhancing people's well-being. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, couple's work and cross cultural themes. These are just a few themes named and I am happy to talk more in depth.

This is what I can offer you:

• I can help create meaning when difficult feelings arise and offer a different perspective on 'life's curve balls' such as bereavement, family conflict, frustrations at work.
• I will support you to implement change in your life, assist in understanding your defences, emotional blocks at a pace that is safe.
• Collaboratively working together to understand why and when anxiety is triggered and develop self-soothing strategies.
• Often counselling can be seen as "talking therapy" and I can offer different ways of working such as experiments, drawings, body awareness and movement.
• Benefits of counselling include developing a deeper sense of calm, empowerment, awareness and increased self assurance , please see below NHS page for more information www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/benefits-of-talking-therapy/

I have over 10 years experience in a diverse mix of professional settings which include social services, youth charities and corporate settings.My practice offers a warm, confidential and discreet environment in Clapham Common and Shoreditch. 

By recognising  unhelpful patterns of behaviour, you can reduce internal conflict and develop a greater sense of compassion towards yourself and others.
