Counselling in Leicester

I provide therapeutic space for you to reflect, think about and explore difficulties without judgement. Sometimes we can have an idea about what we are struggling with, sometimes we are less sure. Accessing therapy can help us to understand ourselves and give meaning to that which leaves us feeling stuck. Sometimes things that are happening in the here and now can bring up feelings that we have experienced in the past that we may or may not be aware of. This may create discomfort, pain, distress, anxiety, depression and overwhelm. People often describe feeling empty, in darkness, alone, lacking energy and feeling frightened.

I value individual differences, honesty, integrity, finding your own path, standing out from the crowd, connection and relationship. I strongly believe people can be empowered to find their own answers. I know that i am not a fixer and i don't have all the answers, although I might have a suggestion or two. I know that I am ok to sit with people in chaos. I can tolerate stuckness and I am not afraid to be afraid, nor walk into a dark place. My aim as a therapist is to create a space where you can explore your difficulties, develop an understanding of where and how these difficulties arise to enable you to find ways to make changes.

My name is Rumena and I am so glad you have taken the first step towards enhancing your wellbeing. Life is full of transitions, hardships, ups and down and there will be times where you feel lost, empty or just stuck in a rut. Sometimes the distress, pain and isolation caused by life’s challenges can feel too unbearable to face alone, or the journey to your destination too long or even unreachable. Therapy is a gift to yourself to help you overcome life's challenges on your journey of self-exploration and healing so you can be your best and most authentic self. I can be your companion on that journey.

I am a qualified and registered Person Centred psychotherapist and Counsellor (Higher Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy), Gestalt ( graduate Diploma) and I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I understand each client to be unique and so is my approach. I have worked both as part of a team (One Vision Counselling and Wandsworth Association of Psychotherapists) and in private practice. I am in regular Supervision with a more experienced Psychotherapist and regularly attend Continued Professional Development. I work closely with a distinguished award-winning psychiatrist.

I help highly driven professionals/entrepreneurs, particularly those in tech/finance/law/media/arts. I often work with those with experience of living life on the edge, and/or complex, troubled relationships. I work well with people for whom talking about personal matters feels very difficult. Those who feel disconnected from their bodies, and themselves. I am not easily shocked and I also understand the need for taking things slowly and sensitively. My approach is kind, practical, down-to-earth and creative.

My main approach is to encourage you to explore your feelings and take responsibility for your thoughts and actions. As I work in a way that empowers the client, I always work with what you present. Bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief, jealousy, sadness, shame and pain can become very overwhelming.The opportunity to express them can make it much easier to understand yourself and others. As I acknowledge your feelings and respect you as a person in your own right, you gain self-respect and a sense of being valued. This leads to building trust between counsellor and client, which is an essential part of the process.
