What is counselling

Counselling is a kind of talking therapy. It offers you a safe space to talk about your problems in a way that may not be possible to do with your partner, your friend, or your family member.

A trained Counsellor listens in a non-judgmental way, and is able to help you process your thoughts and feelings, and support you to understand how your problems have arisen and what keeps them going. It not only helps you resolve specific problems, but also gives you tools to take away for future use.  Counselling is not giving advice. It is a process that helps you arrive to arrive at your own solutions, at your own pace.

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.
