Vipanan Sopasay

Sessions are 50 minutes long, with availability Monday to Friday (9am to 6pm).

I’m Vipanan, and I offer in person and online therapy for adults and young adults across the UK.

When effort doesn’t seem to change things

You might notice that you do try to make changes.You reflect. You think things through. You make decisions. You try again.But somehow, things still end up feeling similar.

The same emotional patterns. The same relationship dynamics. The same internal pressure.And this can be confusing - especially when part of you is genuinely trying to understand and move forward.

If this feels familiar, you are not alone.

Therapy offers a space to slow things down, make sense of these patterns, and begin to understand yourself in a more grounded and steady way.

Sometimes the first step is simply having a space where things don’t feel quite so heavy to hold alone.

How I can help

• Anxiety and overthinking
• Feeling overwhelmed or stuck
• Burnout and emotional exhaustion
• Low self-esteem and self-doubt
• Difficulty setting boundaries
• People-pleasing and feeling responsible for others
• Feeling disconnected from yourself and your needs
• Relationship difficulties

What to expect

For many people, the change is about trusting yourself more and feeling less weighed down by patterns that no longer serve you.

Over time, you may begin to notice:

• A clearer understanding of your needs, values, and what feels right for you
• Less overthinking and internal pressure
• Greater confidence in your own choices and decisions
• Healthier boundaries with less guilt
• More self-compassion and less self-criticism
• A greater sense of calm, connection, and emotional steadiness

Experience

I have many years of experience working with adults in a counselling setting, including 7 years with Aberdeen Counselling and Information Services (ACIS) and 1.5 years with Childline.

I hold a Diploma in Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy. My training is grounded in person-centred therapy, with additional influences from CBT, psychodynamic, somatic and body-mind approaches, allowing me to work flexibly and responsively.

I strongly believe that meaningful change is possible. I work collaboratively with clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, recognise patterns, explore what matters to them, and identify what may help them move forward.

How many sessions do I need?

Most people begin with weekly or fortnightly sessions.

Over time, as you become more familiar with your experiences, patterns, and responses, sessions can move towards a more flexible, as-needed basis.

The pace and length of therapy will depend on what feels helpful for you.
