How I work
I have trained in, and use an integrative approach which means combining a variety of models and techniques to arrive at solutions that suit you and your particular issues, rather than fit your problems into a particular box. You can talk to me in the knowledge that you will be listened to without judgment, and all conversations will be confidential, and you will feel safe and supported.
I am a Registered member of BACP (https://www.bacp.co.uk) which means that you can be assured that I work within recognised ethical guidelines.
At the initial consultation I will be able to tell you whether I am the right person to help with your issues. The number of counselling sessions you will need will be dependent on the extent of change you wish to make and how ready you are for it. Sometimes a single extended session may be all that is needed to give you a different perspective, which in turn gives you clarity about your problems and decide upon a course of action.

Registered Member BACP
Hello! I am Ranjana, a trained and experienced relationship therapist, specialising in Couples Counselling.
I came into Counselling over 13 years ago,from a background in Psychology. I have trained as a Relationship Counsellor and have worked for the last decade at Relate – a charity that specialises in relationship work.
After completing my Master’s degree in Psychology, I started working with a clinical population. But I soon became more interested in the challenges that a large number of people live with, which may not be problematic enough to merit a label of an illness, but still problematic enough to make everyday life difficult. Things such as insecurities, anxieties, and low mood –can make everyday life and relationships unfulfilling. Feeling frustrated and conflicted in our relationships with family and friends can make us unhappy. Sometimes it is our lack of self- confidence and self- doubt that sabotages our relationships.
If you are not feeling good about yourself, content in your relationships, or where you are in life, it is worth making the effort to change. It is a shame to live with regrets when it is possible to be happy and fulfilled. Counselling can help you find a way to happiness.
Alongside Counselling, I also continue to work with vulnerable people – such as older people, those living with mental health challenges, physical and learning disabilities – and find it inspiring to see how people can enjoy their lives when they can work with - as opposed to– against their challenges.
