How I work

Dr Ranjana Mitra, Counsellor at Acorn Natural Health Centre

Ranjana Mitra works using an integrative counselling approach, which means she draws on a range of counselling models and techniques rather than following a single method.

This allows each session to focus on you as an individual. Instead of fitting your experiences into a fixed framework, the work can adapt to your needs, your circumstances, and the issues you would like to explore.

During sessions you will be listened to with care and respect in a confidential, non-judgemental environment. Many people find that simply having the space to speak openly can help them begin to understand their thoughts, feelings, and experiences more clearly.

Counselling sessions move at your pace. There is no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with, and you remain in control of what you choose to discuss.

Professional Standards

Ranjana is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

This means she works within recognised professional and ethical guidelines, helping to ensure that clients receive counselling that is respectful, safe, and confidential.

Your First Consultation

The first consultation is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to counselling and what you hope to gain from the process.

It also allows Ranjana to consider whether she is the right person to support you with your concerns. Finding the right counsellor is an important part of the process, and the initial conversation helps you decide whether the approach feels comfortable for you.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of counselling sessions varies from person to person.

Some people attend for a series of sessions to explore ongoing difficulties or patterns in their lives. Others may find that a smaller number of sessions, or even a single extended session, provides a new perspective that helps them move forward with greater clarity.

Counselling is always guided by the changes you wish to make and your readiness to explore them.

Dr Ranjana Mitra

Relationship Counsellor

Ph.D. Psychology

M.A. Relationship Therapy

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.
