Hindu Counselling in Weybridge

My name is Dr Umesh Joshi. I think everybody deserves the right to access mental health services that meet their needs. It can feel confusing trying to find the right therapist for you. I'm here to work with you to figure out what you may need, and if you already know what you need, to work with you in thinking about how we can get there. I am passionate about offering clients a safe and confidential space and an approach that works with them. I have over ten years of experience working in mental health with children, adolescents and adults from a diverse range of backgrounds.

I have come to counselling and psychotherapy as my second career after spending over 25 years in the corporate sector as part of the human resources function for global technology companies. My desire and ability to connect with people combined with a quest to find deeper meaning in my work led me to retrain and find my true vocation. I have navigated challenging life experiences and have grown and found peace through my own personal therapy. I’m versatile in my clinical approach, drawing from a rich theoretical foundation having trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist.

Welcome! I am a British Asian psychotherapist working across all ages, also a supervisor, working for many years with a broad range of experience including complex trauma. It is an honour when clients allow me into their inner world, I appreciate this is often not easy. Working collaboratively at your pace with presence, compassion and authenticity to create a safe, non-judgemental, confidential space, building our relationship and trust for you to open up and bring the whole of you. I believe lasting change happens when identifying and working with the root cause, enabling healing and recovery whilst appreciating your strengths.

I understand that seeking therapy can be both comforting and daunting, but it can also be liberating and I commend individuals who reach out for help. Our pain can often be a message that there is something amiss in our lives, and I believe it is important that we listen to that message. Whether you are dealing with a difficult time in your life and need help managing the emotions and thoughts, I aim to assist individuals to better understand the relationship between their feelings and thoughts and explore ways to change maladaptive patterns.

The modern pressures of life can take their toll on us – increasing responsibilities and being connected 24/7 can leave us feeling burnt out, anxious, and overwhelmed. Even when we do manage to disconnect, we find it difficult to disconnect from our racing thoughts. If you’re new to therapy it can be daunting, however taking this brave step can be rewarding. It can give you the space to explore what is really going on, process difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies and restore your mental well-being - so that you aren’t just surviving, but thriving in the world.

You may be experiencing low mood or anxiety, an inability to focus, disordered thinking or overwhelming emotions, it could be that you recognise your behaviours are not representative of what you believe yourself to be, that your relationships seem very challenging to maintain, or maybe you just have a generalised sense something is missing.

Hello, I'm Arti, a dedicated and compassionate Counselling Psychologist with a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and break free from toxic generational patterns. My empathic and caring nature fosters a safe and nonjudgemental space where clients can openly share their thoughts and feelings. Being sensitive and self-aware, I am attuned to the nuances of emotions and experiences, allowing me to provide tailored support that addresses the root cause of distress. I believe in the power of tolerance and calm in fostering an environment of healing and growth.

Hello and welcome to my page. I am a fully qualified, UKCP registered Senior Group Analyst, Psychotherapist & Supervisor with 20 years experience aiming to support individuals, couples, and families who are facing with difficulties and assist them in gaining a better understanding by offering an accepting and warm space. Whether you feel depressed, anxious or want to understand yourself better, you may want to seek help to explore your inner world, I can provide you professional help in a non-judgemental and open atmosphere where you can get better insight. I invite clients from all backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures and identities.

I believe we all hold the power to heal ourselves. It takes courage to face our insecurities and discomfort that can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed or confused. You don't have to struggle alone, sometimes we could use a little support. My role as your therapist is to work with your unique process and guide you to reconnect with your own healing energy- So you can start to trust yourself to make the changes you need and achieve your personal goals from a balanced place of clarity and confidence.

My philosophy stems from the belief that our experiences affect us in different ways, potentially impacting our psychological well-being. If left unaddressed, those experiences that impact us can sometimes lead to unhelpful coping patterns. Seeking therapy can help us navigate, process and understand our experiences better. We can then challenge our behavioural patterns that, if left unchecked, may go on to negatively impact important aspects of our lives. The client sits at the very centre of my approach to providing therapeutic care. I believe a positive environment can help initiate and drive positive change.

Specialist OCD and Eating Disorder Therapy. If you or someone you love suffers from an eating disorder or severe OCD it can be incredibly distressing and serious. Talking to a specialist who understands the complex issues around anorexia and bulimia and OCD is your first step towards recovery. You can be free from your obsessions and compulsions and problems with food, body image and exercise. The first step is simply to talk about what's going on with an empathetic and understanding person. You don't have to be in crisis to have therapy, you just have to want to change things for the better.

Life brings many challenges and it is understandable that at times we might look for support in facing them. As a therapist my role is to provide space and guidance to help you on your journey of self discovery to enable you to examine your life and make new, meaningful choices within it. I offer a chance to reflect on the difficulties you are experiencing with someone from outside your day-to-day life. Together we can explore your situation in a way that leads to fresh perspectives and perhaps a new understanding of yourself. Therapy isn’t about giving you solutions or advice but rather empowering you to make your own changes.

At times, every one of us may face challenges and dilemmas. Reaching milestones in our lives and transition points can leave us confused or emotionally charged. I am a Counsellor and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with NHS and Harley Street Experience - working with adults, children and young people who may be experiencing depression, anxiety disorders - health anxiety (hypochondria), social anxiety, generalised anxiety, separation anxiety, OCD, PTSD and panic disorder, trichotillomania (hair pulling), excoriation (skin picking), eating disorders and body dysmorphia, loss and bereavement and relationship problems.

Sometimes, the rocks that life throws at us, can leave us feeling broken, wounded, depressed and anxious. And this is why I became a counsellor, because we all need help from time to time. I use effective counselling techniques to guide you to fresh perspectives on the issues you're facing, helping you make changes, grow & heal. You will experience a compassionate, non-judgmental, & safe environment whilst you freely express yourself and feel protected, heard, and validated during our work together.

Are you looking for an empathetic, collaborative and experienced Cognitive Behavioural Therapist / EMDR Therapist, to help you feel less stuck, more empowered, and in greater control of your life? Do you feel restricted by anxiety, worry or low mood? I would like to work jointly with you to devise a highly individual style of therapy, that provides you with lifelong tools, to manage any current difficulties. I am confident that this will allow you to develop a more fulfilling life, one which is far less impacted by anxiety, worry or depression.

Reasons to seek out therapy are, much like ourselves, varied, nuanced and complex. A deeply empathic, attentive presence, warmth and trust for how you process things and what you decide to bring to our sessions, are at the heart of my practice. As a therapist, I provide a therapeutic relationship which, over time, creates a space in which deep healing can occur. I hope to help you see yourself and make meaning of your experience(s) in ways which were not available before. My work is therefore centred around attending to the whole person, with equal respect and worth for both content and process, both feeling and thinking.

Let's Talk... Therapy gives you the opportunity to explore how life is for you, how you feel about it and how you react during certain situations, all with the aim of finding solutions that work for you. My aim is to provide a confidential, non-judgemental and accepting environment where I can help you explore your issues no matter what they are. Unresolved issues can cause great unhappiness and therapy can help to unlock suppressed feelings and emotions.

Hello my name is Naina, welcome to my profile. Making the decision to begin counselling can be a difficult and daunting one. Counselling can help us to reconnect to ourselves by exploring our narratives, gaining a deeper understanding of who we are, and to develop a better relationship with ourselves and others. I feel forming a therapeutic relationship with my clients is key for our work together. We can work together to empower you to find your own answers and find the happiness that you are searching for.

Do you feel you want to change something in your life? Or perhaps you just need to explore your thoughts and feelings in a confidential, non-judgemental space? Do you feel disconnected or distant in your relationships? Or perhaps you have been affected by an external factor that you’re having difficulty coming to terms with? Therapy will offer you the opportunity to re-establish some balance in your world by helping you make sense of things or understand them better.  Engaging in therapy, gives you the opportunity to find some inner peace with yourself and work towards being a better and happier version of yourself.
