Devang Vaidya

I am an experienced person-centred and existential therapist working with individuals and couples in Islington and Highbury, North London.

I aim to guide people towards a kind of personal transformation that can lead to a satisfying balance in all aspects of their daily living and reach towards a deeply fulfilling future.

I am most often consulted for working through relationship challenges - be they marital, family, social, or work-related.

I have worked with people from all walks of life, having different occupations, lifestyles, and social and cultural backgrounds.

I see my work as building with you a deeper understanding of your situation, how you are affected by it, and how you might overcome the difficulties within it. For this, I provide a secure and trustworthy place for you to talk honestly about yourself without fear of judgement, freely express your concerns and feelings without holding back, and be deeply understood by someone who is mature, competent, experienced, genuine and impartial - someone who will not merely agree or disagree with you because of their own prejudices or vested interests. Quite often this is difficult to ask of partners, family members, colleagues, and friends. My style of working is conversational and informal, although I avoid the usual pitfalls of social discourse. I remain unbiased and hold clear boundaries. It is also important that the work is allowed to progress at the pace that you set.

I offer a free initial consultation to help us to decide whether and how might we work together.  This 30-minute appointment is on a 'no-fee, no-obligation' basis.
