Ansuman Biswas

Do you feel stuck or alone? I am here to listen.

I can help with a wide range of problems, from general anxiety or depression to complex trauma, relationship problems, or creative blocks. I offer a holistic approach to healing and personal development which draws on my rich life experience and professional expertise.

I am a registered therapist with the British Association for Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am also a University Lecturer as well as a practising artist. As an integrative counsellor and coach, I weave together diverse modalities, ensuring that we can co-create a unique solution for your unique situation.

I have helped people of many different ages, genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and abilities with a wide variety of problems. You may be struggling with the weight of the past or hoping for a better future. Whatever you bring, we will start with the immediate facts and follow them to the root of the issue. The foundations of my practice are in mindfulness and creativity, so although our work may begin with words we will go to the embodied and symbolic heart of your experience which is beyond words.

It is from that inner sense of security and freedom that you will be able to act authentically in every moment and be truly happy.

We will work with modern evidence-based psychological interventions while also drawing on ancient wisdoms to foster inner peace and resilience in the face of life’s inevitable storms.

My own heritage has attuned me to subtle intercultural dynamics, and I am committed to fostering an environment in which diverse identities are celebrated and honoured. And recognising the intricate interplay of mind, body, and spirit, I cultivate a nuanced appreciation of human relationships and sexuality in an empathetic and non-judgmental space.

Beyond individual exploration, my expertise extends to relational and professional issues. Whether you seek guidance for personal well-being, creative inspiration, or corporate leadership, I offer tailored support grounded in compassion and insight and delivered through proven tools and exercises.

You can expect our journey together to take an interdisciplinary approach that integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), humanistic, trauma-informed, and somatic techniques.

The first session will be an opportunity for me to make an assessment of your situation, and for you to ask any questions about me and the way I work.

I understand that embarking on a course of therapy may be a big decision. I honour your approach to me as the first step in a collaborative relationship focusing on you. My aim will be to establish a space of safety and trust in which you can relax and allow your mind and body to begin their innate process of healing.

You may have been struggling for a long time with a very specific issue before seeking help, or you may just have a vague sense that things could be better. Together we will begin to map out the possibilities and expectations of our meetings.
