Counselling, Psychological Therapies
& Consultancy

Thank you for visiting my site. I’d like to share a little about myself! I came to psychology as my second career after a decade in the corporate world (publishing). My desire and ability to connect with people combined with a quest to find deeper meaning in my work led me to retrain as a Counselling Psychologist and find my true vocation. I have navigated challenging life experiences and found peace and growth through my own personal therapy.

I am offering one-to-one counselling and psychological therapies to individuals, couples and families.

I also take referrals from health and social care professionals, should individuals you are working with require psychological therapies or counselling

If you are working for a corporation and seeking therapeutic support or coaching for employees, please do get in touch. My offering includes one-to-one employee support as well as group workshops on a variety of topics.

Testimonials
  • “I was recommended Hema’s details by a friend of mine and at the time, I had been struggling with a few things, but wasn’t sure how best to deal with them. Being of Asian heritage, therapy is generally frowned upon so finding a therapist who had a similar background to me was already so promising. Hema throughout the 8 months I spent with her listened so attentively and always created an atmosphere of safety, trust and comfort. She championed me and my narrative, even when I did not or could not do that for myself, and I honestly could not be more grateful for her help and support. I’ve truly learned to trust and love myself and would not be who I am today without her help, belief and support. I could not recommend Hema enough!”

  • Working with Hema over the last year has been a brilliant experience. Hema has supported me with post viral fatigue and disordered eating - she is knowledgeable in both areas and able to tailor her approach accordingly.
    I have found Hema to possess in abundance the traditional qualities I was looking for in a therapist - she’s professional, trustworthy, a good listener and non-judging. But beyond that - what I really appreciate about Hema’s style is her straight talking nature and the fact that she’ll challenge me, always in the right measure. She keeps an open mind and will change the direction of each session dependent on where I’m at that day. This means that every session I have with Hema is extremely valuable and well worth the investment.

  • I’ve been doing online sessions with Hema for a few months now and she has really helped me through some difficult personal times. When I first decided to try therapy my health anxiety was through the roof to the point where I couldn’t function normally in my day- to-day life. This was something I’d previously dealt with alone. Working with Hema in an open, non-judgemental and supportive environment has been an immense help. She has also helped me develop the tools to work through this anxiety and tackle different challenges as and when they appear. I think overall I’ve started to understand my own feelings in a way that I was incapable of doing on my own beforehand and the growth that I’ve felt from these sessions has been great. I wish I’d started sooner.

  • “When I went through some changes in my life I knew it was time to speak to a professional and found Hema online. My struggles consisted around identity, cultural pressure and decisions surrounding my career. Hema helped me to breakdown these struggles and to really drill down into how I felt about those issues. Being asked thought-provoking questions and being able to be completely open and honest to anyone is difficult and Hema makes it very easy. She is extremely non-judgemental and very knowledgeable in her field. She makes you feel heard and is consistent in pointing out your strengths and how they can help overcome your issues.

    Overall, I highly recommend speaking to Hema if you feel you are struggling with anything big or small. Sometimes sounding out issues with a professional can be the best thing you do for yourself.”
