People from all walks of life decide to work with me to overcome various difficulties, a commonality being that they all want to make positive changes. I am a fully qualified, insured, and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I am a senior accredited member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their code of ethics. I am also accredited by British Psychoanalytic Council and an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner.

Having had experience of offering short- and long-term counselling for individuals and couples, as well as facilitating therapeutic groups, I receive regular supervision for my work as per the requirements of the professional bodies with whom I am a member. I am an insightful and reflective practitioner and draw upon my extensive training and specialist experience to build a trusting, confidential and safe environment so that you feel contained and listened to. I balance professionalism with warmth and acceptance.

During our therapy sessions, you and I will work together to understand you, your thoughts, feelings, and the choices you make or struggle to make.

Difference between Counselling and Psychotherapy

Counselling

Counselling is usually a short-term therapy option and tends to concentrate more on current difficulties. It means talking to a therapist who is trained to help you talk about yourself and your difficulties. You will be helped to understand your current situation better and move forward in a positive way.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is more in-depth than counselling and therefore is a longer intervention. We would be able to work with a wider range of issues. During psychotherapy, you will be helped to consider how your life experiences influence your current thoughts, feelings, relationships, and behaviour. This understanding will enable you to deal with difficult situations more effectively.

Testimonials

See what my previous clients have to say… It’s great getting feedback and knowing my work has changed lives.

“I would like to say thank you Jindy for helping me through the most difficult time in my life. I really wasn't sure what to expect from counselling. I was hesitant and reluctant but now I can honestly say I feel much happier and like my old self. You helped me understand myself, my feelings and situation and I am very good now at identifying triggers and getting back on track when I need to. Thank you.”
"I wanted to say thank you so much for the support you’ve given to me in the past few months, it has been invaluable to me! I certainly would not have been able to have managed without your help. You are amazing and brilliant at what you do! I really do take comfort that you are out there for people during their time in need like you were for me! All the best for your future!"
“I thought I was broken; I didn't ever think I would feel okay again. My sessions with you made me feel normal and you understood me better than anyone else in my life. I now realise that all I needed was a safe space to explore everything and for somebody to accept me, my flaws, my feelings and thoughts - and you did that. My relationships are better with other people now, my focus is back at work and I make looking after myself a priority and take responsibility for my mental wellbeing. I feel I have gained tools that are with me for the rest of my life. I can't thank you enough”
“EMDR has released me from the pain that I was holding onto. It feels like magic, I don't know how it worked and maybe I don't need to. All I know is that I feel better, much better.”
“Wow, who would have thought that things that happened all them years ago, in my childhood, was still affecting me today. Thank you for the insight, for your patience, kind and gentle manner and for helping me understand myself better than I ever have done before. I feel like a new person and in control of my life.”
“Jindy, I was in a dark place when I came to see you. I couldn't see a way out and thought I would feel this way forever. Sometimes, I found the counselling very hard, to look inside myself and face the things that I had been hiding away from for so long. I had started drinking alcohol more over the years before seeing you. You helped me to realise that this was just making things worse. Your approach was kind, full of compassion and understanding and whenever I found things difficult, I found your smile reassuring - like you believed in me more than I believed in myself. My friends and family have all noticed positive changes in me and I can finally see some light moving forward. Forever grateful for your help.”
“I lost my mum some years ago and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shift the memories that haunted me. EMDR has helped me to see things in a different way. I can't believe that I can finally talk about that painful time in my life, and actually talk, and not cry or feel the intense pain I once felt. You have helped me feel empowered and back to feeling like myself.”
“I wish I had come to see you years ago. These counselling sessions have helped me tremendously. Thank you.”
“My wife feels she has her husband back. My children have their father back. I have myself back. Depression and anxiety are very difficult to deal with, especially alone. I didn't feel alone with you and no longer feel alone in my home or mind. I can manage my anger better and my emotions in general.”
“I really enjoyed coming to see you, which sounds strange, because for the full 50-minute session, I mostly spent crying or telling you what's wrong. But I had no one else I could do this with. I felt human again, after each session I would go home and feel normal. Thank you for validating my feelings and helping me find ways of coping.”
“It's been a rollercoaster of emotions! But worth it, best investment I have made - investing in myself.”

common questions

50 minutes per session

Yes, I am registered with the major insurance companies such as Axa and Aviva. Please check directly with your insurance provider to see if you are covered.

Most clients attend once a week. After a therapeutic relationship has been established, and the client has made progress, fortnightly sessions are an option.

Yes, unless there is a risk of harm to you, or someone else. I would discuss with you, where possible, if I ever have to break confidentiality.

You can use the contact form, email or call me.

From £70 a session for self funding clients. For insurance referrals, please check with your provider if you have to pay an excess fee.

I always encourage people to contact a few therapists, by email or call. By doing this, usually people are drawn to a particular therapist.

This is difficult to say, as we are all different, trying to work through different issues. We can discuss this during the initial assessment sessions. Some clients know how many sessions they can afford, in which case, we discuss together which issues we need to prioritise and aim to work on these within our timeframe.

I offer video sessions to reach a wider client base. For in person sessions, I have an office close to the City Centre on New Walk, Leicester.
