Hi my name is Sanj and I provide Counselling to adults, children and young people.

I have 13 years experience in this field of work and before that I’ve always worked in supportive and managerial roles within domestic abuse, homeless services, Cruse bereavement Care, family support worker roles, mental health, children’s worker and family therapy. We all face crisis in our lives from time to time, our mental health will go through difficulties just as our physical health.

Counselling gives you a confidential place to go, someone to talk to, who will listen, someone to explore your difficulties with in a safe secure environment.

I feel the relationship we will have is very important and is built and based on trust. You are the expert in yourself and your life, I am here to facilitate your process to understand and make sense of what it is that your experiencing. I work to enable you to work through the issues you may be facing. Together we define the level of support and therapy required. You are in the driving seat and I will work at your pace alongside therapeutic interventions to enable you to move forward and make sense of what it is that your experiencing, together we work to make progress. 

My stance on offering support is to do just that, I work in an empathic, non judgemental manner and try my best to view your world through your eyes, as if in your shoes. My priority is to put you first. I work through conversation, and all therapy is bespoke and tailored to you (no one size fits all right?! ) as well as using many different tools from various theoretical bases to enable you to have the best possible experience. 

I work in private practice from home and also an office base. I offer Counselling in English, Punjabi, Urdu and Mirpuri. I offer short and long term therapy. I work as an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist using various techniques dependant on your needs. I also work in a creative, holistic and spiritual way. I offer 1 hour sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis depending on what works best for you.

I can make exceptions and travel to you however there is an additional charge for travel costs and travel time, this will need to be discussed when you initially make contact.

If you would like an informal confidential chat to see if we are a good fit, you may want to find out more about the process of counselling or how I work, please get in touch. I offer an initial assessment for 1:1 sessions and £75 for couple sessions which I ask for payment on booking the appointment. 

I have been an independent Freelance Counsellor since 2008. I also offer my service to organisations on request. I also offer family therapy sessions.

I also offer training workshops to organisations on raising awareness and understanding self harm, suicide, honour killings, forced marriage and honour related crimes, as well culture and diversity.

I deliver workshops on understanding domestic abuse, the impact of domestic abuse on the victim/ survivor and the perpetrator, in this program I discuss a series of scenarios, the impact on children, understanding emotions, working through emotions, knowing what help is out there, this is usually done in schools and colleges with children and young people aged 11-20.

I offer 1:1 and group Counselling. I also offer organisations my services, this includes schools and counselling for staff.

I offer an initial appointment for us both to discuss if I am the correct fit for you as I believe in establishing a good relationship with you from the very beginning.However if you prefer face to face I can do that also. I do ask for payment on booking to secure the appointment slot. 

This is your time to ask me any questions you might have and for me to discuss our counselling agreement as well as confidentiality. 

This is our time to get to know one another and for me to get to know who is within your support network and family. It’s your space to talk freely about the reasons your accessing therapy. 

I have limited concessionary based time slots available which you will need to enquire about. 

I offer flexibility in order to work around something that suits both myself and you as a supervisee. 

I trained as an integrative supervisor and believe that good supervision is all about the relationship between supervisor and supervisee.

I offer integrative supervision for trainees and qualified counsellors, and professionals working within the caring professions. I offer clinical supervision, reflecting on client work, personal and professional development, ethics, work with several modalities and use the supervision triangle as part of my way of working ethically to the best interests of your clients and yourself as a supervisee. 

Sessions of clinical supervision are attended for at least 1.5 hrs on a regular monthly basis as per the BACP ethical framework for the counselling professions.

Supervision is often used to support you with difficulties you may be experiencing with clients, and to help you identify blind spots. However, I think there is so much more to supervision than this. With the right supervisor, you should feel supported and be able to grow both personally and professionally. For me supervision is a vital part of our personal and professional development, it’s about building a strong and positive relationship. Supervision is an integral part of counselling, it is important to find the right supervisor for you. The most important area is the relationship between the supervisee and supervisor. This relationship should be built on trust and honesty. There are times when we all struggle with things in the counselling room, this is where the right supervisor can help you explore this in a non-judgemental way. 

My approach to supervision is tailored to supervisees needs, there is always something new to learn and discover I am keen to share my experiences to develop the experience of fellow counsellors and therapists.   

I offer an initial meeting where we discuss your needs as a supervisee and see if we are a good match for one another. This is offered at a reduced rate of £65 for the initial session.
