Current & previous work experience:

I have never had therapy before & feel nervous! Can I do anything to prepare myself?
It is ok to be nervous. Sometimes I feel nervous too about meeting my new clients! There is a wonderful book called ‘Therapy is magic’ by Jo Love that might help you prepare for therapy. It is a lovely book that guides you through the talking therapy process & gives you practical tips on how to go about it.

Can I have a telephone chat before booking an Initial consultation session?
I would be happy to have a brief chat with you over the phone if this is important to you. However, please note, my call to you or your call to me will only be a very brief chat and not a full-fledged counselling session. If you have a lot to talk about, I would encourage you to book an Initial consultation session.

How can I book an Initial consultation session?
You can book an Initial consultation session online by clicking on – https://Book-a-session-with-Nina-Guha.as.me/

How long will my first session last?
Your Initial consultation session can last up to 50 minutes. Longer sessions can be arranged on request, for an additional cost.

What happens at the Initial consultation session?
Your Initial consultation session is a chance for you to meet your Therapist & talk about what you are looking for help with. This is also a chance for your Therapist to explain more about how they can help. The initial session is also used to discuss and agree logistics e.g. how often your sessions will be and other related topics. If you decide to continue with ongoing sessions, you will be asked to fill in a ‘Client detail form’ and send it back by e-mail or bring it along to your next session.

I am currently offering Online sessions on Zoom only!

I am particularly interested in working with Neurodiverse (ADHD & ASD) and LGBTQIA+ Clients who have experienced trauma and relational difficulties in their childhood due to their heritage and sexuality.

I work using with the 'seven-eyed' model and my supervision ethos embraces the 4 C's - Competence ethically, Confidence, Compassion and Creativity. The initial work revolves around strengthening our relationship followed by a collaborative exploration of your personal style to help you evolve and grow into the Counsellor you aspire to be. Our work together will be facilitative allowing you ample room to develop your professional practice, learning and growth.

What happens at the Initial consultation session?

The Initial consultation gives us both the space and opportunity to get to know each other and see whether we can work together, collaboratively, in a Supervisor - Supervisee relationship. It is also the time for you to discuss your personal supervision requirements and ascertain whether I am the right Supervisor for your needs.
