Vinika Lakhiani

My name is Vinika, I am an Integrative counsellor and a fully registered member of the BACP. This means I can support you with a wide range of issues and I can tailor counselling around your individual needs. I work with people of all ages, and I offer face to face, remote online and telephone counselling. I can see you on a short term or long-term basis, depending on your needs. I will always work at your pace and stay alongside you throughout your counselling journey.

I am a warm and empathic counsellor and I offer a safe and confidential space where together we can explore how you feel, without fear of judgement. Whatever it is you are struggling with, my aim is to work towards building a genuine and warm relationship with you. Sometimes we can find ourselves feeling lost, wondering who we are and where we are going, often repeating patterns and feeling stuck. Living with your own unique problems can feel like a really lonely place, even though you are surrounded by friends and family. When we explore your issues together you will gain an increased self-awareness, more clarity and understanding, which can help bring about positive change in your life. I understand that counselling might not always be an easy experience but rest assured that when you talk to a counsellor who has been professionally trained to listen in an impartial, supportive and non-judgmental way, it can be immensely rewarding and beneficial.

I offer a 30 minutes free consultation over zoom or telephone to help answer any questions you might have and to give you the chance to get to know me. You can then decide if you feel comfortable to go on this very personal journey with me. After our first contact we can decide where and how we will meet  Each session will be 50 minutes long.
