I never thought therapy would be so helpful, but Gulshan has supported me massively in just 4 sessions. She is understanding, and pays attention to the little details such as my body language, and my emotions at the time. She has taught me how to set boundaries, work through my overthinking, spend time with myself, and more. All of these have allowed me to heal, and I'm in a much better place now. Thank you Gulshan!

I am a professionally qualified therapist and accreted registered member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapist (BACP). I adhere to BACP ethical framework for good practice to ensure that I work to the best interest of my clients. The foundation of my therapeutic work is based on providing clients with a warm, non-judgemental environment with an empathic understanding where clients truly feel heard, such therapeutic safe place will allow clients to reflect on their thinking, feelings and behaviours. Working together with the use of different techniques and exploration questions to help clients gain greater understanding and insight to their problems or even solutions that they are seeking. As every client is individual with unique life experiences I mix skills and techniques from different counselling approaches to meet the needs of my clients. As an integrative counsellor I draw on my knowledge and skills from Person Centred approach, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural therapy, Existentialism and Gestalt therapy. I work with adults and young people from all background with different past experiences and cultures.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
