Pawan Dhillon

I currently offer online therapy (Weekday evenings) and face to face therapy (Weekends in Angel)

I am an integrative counsellor offering Psychodynamic and Person Centered therapy.

You might be seeking support because you could be experiencing low mood, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and or just trying to make sense of what is going on. I know that seeking help and speaking about it might not be easy. Some of us perhaps never experienced being helped. A simple act of saying ‘No’ feels like one step away from disaster. My work with you will explore the emotions that you are going through, enabling you to find your voice and meaning in life at the pace you choose. 

"Pain will Travel through families until someone is brave enough to feel it.” You have taken a brave first step toward self-discovery, and the self-inquiry now might feel overwhelming. As a therapist, I work relationally with a focus on building trust and nurturing self-compassion to explore these overwhelming feelings hindering your growth.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space that enables you to explore and make sense of your past and present experiences, supporting your journey toward healing, self-discovery, and development. In our first session, we explore the history of the difficulties you have been experiencing. Identify clear focus areas and map the journey. We can explore what it would be like working with me, what counselling is, and your hopes and fears. Everyone’s life is unique, and each of us has different ways to cope with life's demands, relationships, and stresses (past and present). We work with this uniqueness and harness our gift of curiosity to enable you to find meaning in life.

As a therapist of South-Asian background, I am keenly interested in the impact of culture and racial identity on psychological health. I am committed to the practice of equal opportunities for all, diversity, and equity. I have worked extensively with the LGBTQ community, exploring childhood trauma, sexual and Gender identity, and the impact of expectation of ‘Scene’ on the Client’s well-being. I have also gained substantial experience working with the wider BAME community and am passionate about client’s struggles with visibility (emotional and physical).

I have experience working with Anxiety, Bereavement and loss, Depression, Gender identity, Sexual orientation, Low self-esteem, Relationships, Narcissistic Abuse, Work-related stress and Trauma

I am multilingual and in addition to English provide therapy in Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Marathi, and Gujarati(listening). I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation.

I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation, followed by a first session to agree on Goals and it's an opportunity for me to tell you more about what counselling is about. Explore your expectations, and feelings about starting therapy.
