Through counselling, you can gain insight and skills to address challenges, overcome emotional obstacles, and move toward personal growth.

About Counselling Psychology

Counselling Psychology is particularly beneficial for individuals navigating challenging life events, such as relationship breakups, redundancy, illness, bereavement, trauma, or stress. It is also valuable for those aiming to enhance self-worth, set specific goals, or improve personal and professional relationships. With a strong focus on the integration of theory and therapeutic practice, Counselling Psychology provides essential tools for fostering personal growth and overall well-being.

Jasminder’s counselling service is deeply committed to working with intersectionality, ensuring culturally appropriate care for a diverse community. Offering counselling for children, adults, and older adults, the service values and respects individual differences, recognizing how societal factors such as family dynamics, sexuality, gender, age, class, and cultural background shape personal experiences. Jasminder understands the unique challenges that arise from these identities and provides inclusive, supportive care tailored to each individual’s needs.

  • You have an option to attend short-term focused sessions or longer-term therapy work. Counselling can help deal with day-to-day struggles, help seek a solution for a particular dilemma, or help to gain understanding on major life changing events which may have a deeper impact on your long-term future.

  • In counselling, the main aim is to let your story unfold naturally, step by step, at a pace that suits you. This process is unique to each person, and the issues you discuss can vary from one person to the next. You may seek support for stress related to work or personal life. Such as dealing with redundancy, managing work-related stress, or overcoming feelings of loneliness. Counselling can also help with anxiety, including panic attacks and social anxiety. It can also provide support for issues such as trauma, depression, phobias, exam and study pressure. Including relationship problems, family dynamics, loss, bereavement, cultural identity, and individual identity.
