Counselling/Mental Health

The client who seeks counselling will be able to get specific guidance from the counsellor who they would be assigned to work with. However, the counselling sessions will range from 6–8 sessions per client on average.

Mainly we are offering counselling online. We are based currently in the UK and will extend our services abroad, namely India and Canada as well. We do have counsellors offering services from the above-mentioned locations who will be able to provide online sessions.

We currently provide Integrative counselling with CBT and SFBT approaches. You can discuss further with the counsellor on your inclination to a certain therapy but based on the expertise of the therapist we have listed the above-mentioned therapy approaches. We provide counselling services for victims suffering from PTSD from trauma caused by any triggering factor. For instance, flashbacks from a crime etc.

Yes, it is possible. The service aims to cater to your specific need and hence you will go through an assessment phase during which you will be able to gain more information on who you would like to book with and also discuss other details. The allocation of therapists is case-specific and the booking will be done with the best interests of the client in mind.
