About Roohaz Counselling & Psychotherapy

I am an accredited psychotherapist and counsellor offering a confidential and caring therapy service in Richmond and central London. I treat issues around self-esteem and self-confidence, bereavement and loss, work related stress, anxiety, depression, phobias, obsessions, relationship issues and couples counselling.

Many people encounter a problem at some point in their life. If you do, you don’t have to go through it alone. Sometimes talking about it with an objective professional may help. If you considered counselling with me, I would provide you a safe space to talk through your thoughts and feelings and explore your options. We would work together to find a solution and empower you to make the right choices for you.

Alternatively, have you ever wondered why you are the way you are? Why you do the same things time and time again? Why do you say the things you say? Psychotherapy looks at the core of the person, his or her interactions and how he or she relates to others. Typically longer term than counselling, psychotherapy looks at understanding rather than solutions. During psychotherapy with me, together we would aim to understand your sense of self and your repeated patterns of feeling, thinking and behaviour if they are destructive and restrictive. Our aim would be to transform your negative behavioural patterns into positive ones.

Transactional Analysis

I am a Certified Transactional Analyst and I use Transactional Analysis, a Humanistic modality of therapy, in my work with clients. TA is an integrative style that helps to improve communication patterns within our relationships and challenges our core beliefs about ourselves and others. My aim is to use TA where appropriate to support clients to better understand themselves and others.

Experience

I did my training in TA counselling and psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute in West London between 2005 and 2008.

I have experience in working with individuals and couples on a variety of issues, and as a group facilitator supporting people with phobias and OCD.

In addition to my private practice, I have experience working in an EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) setting supporting clients on a helpline and offering telephone and face to face counselling.

Before entering the counselling and psychotherapy world I had up to 25 years’ professional experience in a corporate environment, which allowed me to understand the pressures and advantages of working in various commercial organisations.

I currently run my own practice (Roohaz Counselling and Psychotherapy) in Richmond and central London. I offer individual and couples counselling. Group therapy can be arranged according to demand.
