Jani Santos

About Me & My Practice

I am Jani, an accredited multicultural counsellor with over 7 years of experience specialised in the complexities of identity, autonomy, and belonging. With a background in yoga and Eastern philosophy, I integrate Gestalt and Embodied therapy to support you in reclaiming your inner authority.

My practice is a dedicated space for individuals who have experienced rigid systems, restrictive relationships, or the unique challenges of living between cultures. I know personally how a "dark place" can feel, and I believe the therapeutic relationship is a deeply restorative tool for moving back toward the light.

My Approach: Mind, Body, and Culture

My style is interactive, collaborative, and deeply non-judgemental. We don’t just "talk" about problems; we work toward a wholesome connection between mind and body.

Embodied Therapy: We use mindfulness and somatic techniques to reset the nervous system and restore inner balance.

Gestalt & Relational Therapy: We explore how you relate to yourself and others, fostering the awareness needed to act on your true needs.

Multicultural Focus: Growing up in an intercultural environment, I understand the friction of transition and the beauty of diversity.

I offer sessions in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Areas of Focus

I support adults and young people (16+) navigating:

• Identity & Belonging: Reclaiming selfhood after restrictive environments.
• Emotional Resilience: Managing anxiety, depression, and stress through self-regulation.
• Relational Health: Healing from trauma, family issues, or attachment challenges.
• Life Transitions: Support for those living between cultures or navigating the experience of ‘in-betweenness'.

Your First Session

It is completely normal to feel trepidation when starting therapy.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory session online to discuss what you are looking for and to ensure we are the right fit.

From there, we work at a pace that honours your individual needs.
