Having genes for a mental illness is less than half of the story. Exposure to traumas is the essential other part that causes a disturbance in transmitters and hormones in the body. My clients contact me when they are looking for help for reducing psychiatric medications or before taking them. My experience and training involves helping a client process their traumas to heal them emotionally and with food supplements following Walsh protocol. In this format, food supplements are prescribed instead of psychotropic medications that participate in hormonal and neurotransmitter metabolism. I can speak English, Hindi/ Urdu and Punjabi.

People can run in to psychological difficulty for many reasons. Family conflict, financial, sexual, health, work, trauma, bereavement, identity, addiction, infertility and relationship issues can play a big part in this. As a result you might be struggling to cope, feeling depressed and disconnect, experiencing anxiety, fear and panic attacks. You might be looking for some support, sense of relief, a safe place to explore whatever is bothering you. Counselling & Psychotherapy may be helpful. It gives you an opportunity to discover unknown aspects of yourself, to feel happier and more connected to yourself and others.

I work from an integrative perspective grounded in person centered therapy. I adapt the therapy to the needs of the individual while respecting their views and values. I believe that most individuals can heal, grow and find resources within in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. I will work with you in exploring issues from the past and how they are affecting you in the present. I will also help you with tools and resources to help you in the day to day. I have a special interest in working with all members of the adoption triad specifically around, loss rejection and a sense of identity.

I believe that creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore what's happening for them is fundamental to therapy. I think part of this is clients finding a therapist that feels like rhe right fit for them. I see each client as unique, with different needs and so I work flexibly focusing on responding to each individual client in the way that best works for them. I work to enable clients to reconnect with themselves with the support and guidance they need to gain more understanding around their experience and find ways to navigate challenges that work for them as a person.

Our physical and mental well-being are interlinked. At times we may feel our worries and anxieties are dictating the way we live our lives. At times we find ourselves not able to enjoy things that we used to and get no sense of achievement in activities that we do. Do you want to make changes, but you have no idea on how to begin.

Life is not always smooth and can present us with situations, some more difficult than others. Some of these situations can be sorted with the help of friends and family and others may need the help of a professional. As a therapist it is my belief that all clients are individual and so my service will be tailored to the individual needs of each client. My work is to help the clients better understand what their needs are and assist in the changes the client wants to make in order to meet these needs. Counselling is a collaborative process where I will assist each client to set goals and work with them in order to achieve these.

Making choices and empowering from within: Through collaboration, building the relationship and offering a sense of humanity, Ray has found people feel safe and comfortable to discuss any issue whilst also realising the need to do it at the client’s pace. Understanding by encouraging a client to make their own choices, the presenting riddle can be solved. By this I mean the labels of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem/confidence become less defining. Built on these achievements is a new sense of personal happiness and fulfilment: dealing with any issues in mental health, addiction and beyond.

I work in my practice helping people who seek therapy for a range of emotional and stress-related issues including stress, anxiety, worry, depression, anger, panic attacks and grief. I believe that everyone deserves to live a full and meaningful life. I endeavour to create a compassionate, non-judgmental and transformative space for my clients and always practice with these values in mind. During times of struggle or stress, we can at times disconnect from what's important. The counsellor’s role is to get to know you, and for you to develop a greater understanding of yourself in a supportive environment, working at your own pace.

Alcohol Use Counsellors
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
