Rines Shanthakumar

I currently have availability for new clients – Face-to-Face, Online, and via Telephone.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation via phone call for us to see if we are a good fit. 

Hello! My name is Rines, and I am a qualified integrative counsellor.

I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to explore and work through any challenges that you are currently facing in your life in relation to your mental health.

My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from a blend of therapy styles tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. These include Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Existential, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approaches. I believe there is no 'one size fits all' approach to counselling – every therapeutic relationship is unique. Therefore, I tailor my counselling approach to suit your personal needs.

Alongside talking therapy, I can also incorporate mindfulness and somatic work – such as breathwork, grounding techniques, and guided visualisations – to support the therapeutic process. 

I offer Face-to-Face sessions in a dedicated therapy room located in Ilford, near Gants Hill station.

I also offer sessions Online via Zoom, and via Telephone.

If you would like to work with me, the first step is to set up a phone call. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy, what your therapy goals are, and any questions you may have. You will also get a feel for how I work and whether I am the right fit for you.

Feel free to contact me if you would like to get started.
