My name is Pooni and I work with a range of clients from all ages and backgrounds including individual adults, teens, and couples. I love the diversity this approach gives me. Although no two clients are the same, we all experience difficulties with mental health. In the same way we would go to a doctor for our physical health to treat an ailment, our mental health may need the support of a counsellor at times.

When we struggle with our mental health the first signs are sometimes anxiety. Perhaps we have emotional outbursts or we feel distant or disconnected from others. This response may begin to impact our relationships with those we are close to. We may feel guilt or shame or are simply unable to understand why we feel anxious.

I support my clients by firstly give them a safe space. It may be difficult to talk about your experiences so I offer patience, kindness and understanding. My role is not to judge you or give answers but to help you manage your issues. I may offer psychological education or a strategy in order to help you gain a fuller understanding of how your mental health is being impacted and how most importantly you can heal or find an easier path forwards.

Testimonial

‘I’ve been attending counselling sessions with Pooni for a few months. During this time my wellbeing has really improved. Pooni is not only a compassionate listener but she has also helped me to understand and accept myself, enhanced my ability to cope with challenges, and enabled me to communicate better with the people in my life.’
