Do you feel empty behind the face you show to the world? Do you struggle to identify what you want and need? If someone asks for your opinion, do you often think “I don’t know”? Perhaps it’s difficult to make decisions. Or you might compare yourself to others, but always come up short. Perhaps it feels as though the real you has got lost somewhere along the way. You might be feeling this way after a change in life circumstances. Or perhaps you’ve felt this way since an early age.

I’m a HCPC-registered Paediatric Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of experience in paediatric settings. I support children and young people with physical health conditions, as well as their parents, caregivers, and families. Health challenges can bring significant emotional struggles, from fear and anxiety around medical care to low mood and frustration around changes or limitations to daily life. Hospital appointments can feel overwhelming, especially for neurodiverse children. Meanwhile, parents face stress and worry while navigating healthcare systems, supporting siblings, and managing everyday responsibilities.

Welcome to my page! My journey to Soul Psychology started 30+ years ago during the extensive study of Yoga, Meditation, and Eastern Philosophy. This led me to become a yoga and meditation teacher to assist others to find their way back 'home' to wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. Eventually I was led to a study of western psychology approaches, specifically Somatic work, Jungian Archetypes, Dreams & the Greater Self within. I believe that my experience in the fields of spirituality and psychology has given me the tools to be able to access deeper layers of human psyche to facilitate self- healing, inner peace and self-empowerment.

Hello, I am Dr Rima Lamba. I'm a feminist counselling psychologist with an interest in the unique experiences of women from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I work closely with women who have struggled with self esteem & identity, relationship issues, difficulties in motherhood, life transitions, attachment and early trauma, and transgenerational trauma. I am particularly interested in the structural power differences that impact people, so I work closely on issues to do with patriarchy, race, culture and more. I also work with a team of therapists who can support clients, including adult families.
