‘We all need someone to talk to some of the time’ and across the multi-dimensional layers of personality and global connectedness, to be human means we will be faced with situations and events during our lifetime that we believe a hundred percent, we will have little or no chance of sorting out or finding solutions to. The truism is there are always solutions, some more easily achievable and likeable, others less so. Nonetheless these too are solutions and place ALL at the doorway of all possibility. The wisdom then is to stand in the doorway to commence the healing transformations of finding answers and pathways towards resolution.

gently exploring how past events may still shape your life today.
It’s not always easy to reach out for support, but if you’re here, you’ve already taken an important first step. Perhaps you’re facing a relationship challenge, a breakup, family difficulties, a period of loss or uncertainty - or you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, or questions around your identity and sense of self. Whatever has brought you here, counselling can offer a safe space to pause, reflect, and begin to heal. You don’t have to face things alone - sometimes we all need a safe place to share what we’re holding. In our sessions, I offer a calm, understanding space where you can be yourself and explore whatever feels

Trained in EMDR, Compassionate Inquiry, embodiment and movement, NLP and holistic coaching.
Hi, it’s nice to meet you. My name is Pavan. I’m based in London and work online with clients across Europe. I work with individuals tired of pretending they’re fine: thoughtful, capable and outwardly together, yet anxious, burnt out or quietly lost. I offer a deeper, non-clinical space where you don’t have to perform or explain yourself. Shaped by both training and my own therapy, I work gently and honestly. I’m drawn to sensitive, intuitive people who learned to survive by being strong or accommodating. Therapy becomes the place you get to soften and be seen.

Maybe now's the time for breakthrough discoveries and a brand new life you'll love.
Success is often depicted as a series of milestones achieved through talent, hard work, and perseverance. Yet, there’s a hidden dimension to success that goes beyond external accomplishments. The "secret language of success" includes understanding and overcoming personal emotional challenges that can impede our progress. Every successful individual has faced various personal challenges. Typically, the impact of such challenges goes unnoticed for quite some time. Anxiety can make it hard for us to focus and perform. Depression can cast a shadow over our aspirations. Low self-esteem and self-doubt can inhibit our confidence.

Trained in understanding CBT, NLP, Coaching, and Mental Wellbeing in Children and Young People, means that I offer an integrative approach to my practice.
Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, outside of our immediate circle, who will listen without judgement. There are so many reasons why we seek counselling and for each person these reasons may change over time. Whilst counselling for one person may be about releasing and being heard, for someone else it may be to work on the past or for another to work on current challenges or towards a future goal. Driven by the nature of our work together, I employ creative and/or practical methods, depending on your preferences and what you feel you need from your sessions. As each client’s needs vary, so does the therapy that I provide.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
