Hi, I’m Charmini. I worked as a management consultant in the creative industries and property investment sector for 17 years before retraining in psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and person-centred counselling. Everyone faces struggles in their lives and my own experience of therapy showed me how impactful the right support can be. It inspired me to help others sort through a lifetime of feelings and experiences so they could take back control.

Type of Therapy offered
I offer Integrative Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, a developmental psychotherapy based on the way relationships impact lives. I also work with Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy an effective way to bypass limiting beliefs and build a healthier relationship with yourself. I am an Anxiety UK recommended practitioner. I have certification in Human Givens relationship counselling and Person-Centred Counselling. I have training in Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Gestalt Psychotherapy techniques, Mindfulness and Trauma-focused techniques.

Approach
I believe that choice comes from understanding yourself through compassionate curiosity, then making the right changes. I understand how hard it can be to do that on your own. The first task is to build a clearer picture of the difficulties that bring you to therapy, what you want to achieve, and the things holding you back. Then, we choose an effective approach that feels right for you, so you can move from self-awareness to real change.

Who I work with
Adults:
• Anxiety & stress management
• Phobias
• Depression
• Motivation & performance enhancement
• Low self-esteem & confidence building
• Relationship issues
• Personality Disorders
• Trauma and developmental trauma work with adults.
Children:
• Anxiety
• Exam Stress
• Confidence building

I have found parents often overlook their need for support when facing the challenges of a child in distress. I have found it helpful to collaborate with parents to help them find ways to support their children and cope with their own distress. Please note, I only work with children 11+ and use cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy. I do not work with trauma in the under 18 age group.

Further Information
I am committed to ongoing clinical supervision and professional development. I keep up to date with research relevant to my field.
