Neela Choudhury

I have 30 years experience as a psychotherapist/counsellor in the NHS, Royal London Hospital, schools, charities such as Rape Crisis and Threshold Counselling, Employee Assistance Programs as well as running an established private practice. Having worked with a diverse range of people (aged 10-73) in various settings with wide ranging issues including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, family issues, relationships, identity, cultural issues, ADHD and bereavement, I believe I am well placed to help you too. I understand the possible effects such experiences can have so I have a holistic approach to ensure a safe and satisfying counselling experience that will be tailored just for you

We all have problems in our lives and sometimes it helps to talk to someone who isn’t family or friend. I would like to offer confidential support and help to explore anything that’s worrying you and to make sense of what’s going on so that you can find the best way forward for a more satisfying life. 

I’m well qualified, had extensive training to use a variety of methods and have a holistic approach so that I can make sure you have the type of counselling that’s suited to your particular experience and needs. This may include short-term (6-20 sessions) or longer-term counselling; stress management training; mindfulness; life coaching.

As a registered and accredited counsellor, you can be sure that I have to comply with high standards personally and professionally. I have full enhanced DBS disclosure.  I am a Cigna Healthcare approved provider. 

I like to make my service accessible to all.  I have lower rates for some day time appointments.  Individual circumstances are always considered so do ask about this.

Counselling could help you. Why not give me a call or email so that we can arrange an initial session.  You won’t be committed to anything but people have often said that this session felt reassuring.  It gives a chance to share something of your story (if you’d like to) and explore, what might be helpful for you. If you have any questions or concerns we can talk about them. 

I do understand that sometimes it can feel difficult to reach out in this way, or to know how to go about this initial session, but I will be there to support and help you with this. I would encourage you to give it a go and if you feel that it doesn’t seem right for you, that’s absolutely fine. I feel it’s important that you have the opportunity and choice. That’s why there is no fee for that initial session and you won’t be  obligated to anything. However, if you do feel that you would like to continue, we can arrange a day and time for weekly sessions that’s convenient.
