Rekha Raviraj

Hello. My name is Rekha. I am an Integrative Counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MÂ鶹ԭ´´). I work in accordance with their ethical framework.

My therapeutic approach is primarily integrative, which means I draw on various modalities to best suit each client. These include Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and other approaches. I tailor my methods based on the specific needs of the client, emphasising a solution-focused and client-centred approach to ensure effective outcomes.

I have experience working with individuals dealing with a range of challenges, including depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, and other mental health struggles. I have worked with clients who have experienced domestic violence, providing support in rebuilding their self-confidence, self-esteem, and sense of self-worth. Through our work together, many have been able to break free from the negative cycles of thought that often prevent them from seeing their value and experiencing positivity in life.

I have experience in teaching mindfulness techniques and Reiki healing methods to reduce stress and improve overall well-being. If the client prefers, I can integrate a holistic approach of mind, body and spirit healing using counselling and mindfulness.

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy. I work alongside each client, helping them to explore their past experiences and understand how this shapes their present lives. Together, we identify areas they would like to change, and I support them in developing a personalised therapeutic plan. I guide them on their journey toward greater well-being. I work to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to explore and identify your difficulties at a pace that is comfortable to you. Whatever you are going through, we can work together to help you make sense of your experiences.

I offer a free 20-minute telephone call - this gives you an opportunity to ask me any questions you may have. From that point, if you wish we can arrange an initial appointment which will allow you to decide whether I am the right counsellor for you. 

Counselling sessions usually take place on a weekly basis, although other timescales may be discussed to fit in with your personal circumstances.

I offer both short-term and long-term counselling options; sessions can be held face-to-face, online via Zoom, or over the phone to accommodate your preferences. I can speak Hindi, Tamil and Urdu languages.

I can be contacted via telephone or email. If I am unable to answer, please leave a message, and I will return your call as soon as possible.
