If you want to stop suffering and letting control go. If it looks like you’re coping. Because you show up, achieve, keep going.. Yet inside, you feel empty, disconnected, overwhelmed, exhausted..Perhaps you’ve survived by staying in control, pushing feelings down, avoiding what feels too much — afraid that if you truly let yourself feel, everything will unravel. Over time, the pressure builds: holding it in until it spills out, then guilt, shame, self-criticism. You don’t have to carry it alone. You deserve to be accompanied and supported. Living life with joy and less pressure, you deserve a life more open, grounded and peaceful

Feeling disconnected from yourself or the life you imagined?
Sometimes, life events such as separation, trauma, or loss can leave us feeling stuck. Even without a clear crisis, the weight of routine or unresolved experiences from the past can quietly shape the present, making it hard to move forward.
If you're finding it difficult to navigate day-to-day life or want to reconnect with a sense of purpose, counselling can offer a space to reflect, process, and begin to shift. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative, supporting you to explore what’s holding you back and what might help you move forward.

If you're feeling stuck in the same painful relationship patterns or finding that past trauma, anxiety or overwhelming stress continues to affect your daily life, you don't have to face it alone.

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.

Hi I’m Swaliha. I strongly believe counselling is for everyone. Together, in a non-judgemental space we can dedicate time to exploring your difficulties and establish what you would like to gain from counselling and life itself. People choose to start psychotherapy because of the struggles they face; often there is pain, sadness, suffering and loss with a sense of being stuck in it. It may be that you feel alone, unfulfilled, depressed or anxious or perhaps you have experienced a trauma which continues to affect you. We can work through these difficulties and others together safely.

The ideal client is someone who wants help, they may not understand exactly why but know that change is needed. They may need help with relationships, problems of everyday living or traumas and crises. They may experience depression, anxiety, low self-esteem or childhood issues.

I am an HCPC-registered and chartered counselling psychologist offering a holistic, integrative and culturally responsive approach to therapy. I understand psychological well-being as shaped not only by our thoughts and emotions, but also by our relationships, bodies, histories, identities, cultures and wider social contexts. Drawing on Western and non-Western psychological theories, I work flexibly and collaboratively with each client’s background, needs, and worldview, offering a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to explore experiences, gain clarity, and deepen self-understanding.

Hello and welcome. My name is Katherine Coates and I am a qualified Person Centred therapist. My journey to become a qualified counsellor started after I entered therapy myself so am well aware of how terrifying taking the first steps in asking for help can be. Therefore, I aim to offer a safe space where you feel accepted and valued enough that you can reveal your vulnerabilities without fear of judgement.
