Nidhish Parikh

I provide Online and Phone counselling throughout UK and In-Person Counselling across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, supporting young people and adults with a range of wellbeing issues.

I’m available throughout weekdays and evenings.

Please call or email for up-to-date availability or post an enquiry from my website, https://innermostcounselling.com

I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, low mood, relationships issues, domestic abuse, bullying, men’s issues, redundancy, self esteem, sexual and gender identity and loneliness amongst other emotional wellbeing conditions.

You may identify yourself with one or more of these named issues, experienced in a very personal way or life simply feels less than OK, as you live through dark, negative and all too familiar life experiences.

Together, you and I can, work through these difficulties making sense of your situation, enable you to make the emotional shift that is meaningful to you for life to feel more wholesome.

Life happens to us all, and at times not in a good way. Often, we may put on a public face that does not quite show how we really feel, hiding that very personal struggle. At times, that struggle is all too obvious and the behaviour worryingly real, but no one quite understands.

I can help to untangle the troubling problems, which often force us to hide the innermost true self. This can lead to better relationships with ourselves and others, and a healthier, more authentic way of being. These problems may often feel unmanageable on our own.

I am by your side, with you all the way without judgement, but with empathy, openness, respect and compassion.

My approach is Integrative Relational Counselling, informed by Humanistic and Psychodynamic modalities, combining different therapeutic approaches to best support you.

Simply, this means I can adapt my practice approach to best suite your needs in a meaningful way. The relational aspect places our therapeutic relationship at the core of my support for you, which can be a powerful force for change.

It informs how corrective patern of relating with your self and others may be developed and be reparative in delivering the change you may seek and how you may in turn develop to relate to others. 

I offer a complementary 30minute phone consultation to discuss your needs, and I could also describe my work and address any concerns you may have. This way we'd be able to assess if we are right for each other. It's important for you to get the therapeutic support that you feel you need, as all therapy is first and foremost about you and those needs!

Once we decide to work together we will either meet for sessions In-person, Online or by Phone, or sometimes a mix of these settings to adapt to your needs.

For in-person sessions, I invite you to my practice, a welcoming and comfortable place, easily located in Bagshot, near Camberley, Surrey.

You can expect from me unconditional respect for you and acceptance of your situation. I will listen with active curiosity and sensitivity. 

I will strive for us to build that trusting therapeutic relationship,  working collaboratively with you throughout from the outset.

We will explore together the challenges you may be confronted with while being emotionally present with you always.

In this manner we will discover ways to address your troubles and pain for alternative ways of being , allowing the emotional shift you may be seeking.

We will have already discussed your needs and how we may work together during the initial consultation and, therefore we will commence our work already in the first session. 

Prior to this first session you will have completed the initial assessment form, further identifying your needs and goals from our work.

It takes much courage to even begin to attend a therapy session, and then speaking about what may be very personal experiences can feel overwhelming with a counsellor with whom you’re newly acquainted.

I do understand this with much empathy, being by your side, encourage you to proceed at the pace you feel acceptable to you. I aim to provide an emotionally safe holding environment to help you and I to build trust and understanding in our relationship from the outset.
