Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. You may be carrying painful experiences, grieving a loss, struggling in your relationship or feeling disconnected from yourself. I offer a warm, supportive space where we can explore what you are facing and work towards changes that matter to you. Integrative counselling Everyone brings different experiences and needs to therapy. I draw on a range of counselling approaches to tailor our work to you, supporting you with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life changes. Together, we can understand patterns, explore your feelings and develop ways of coping. EMDR for trauma I offer Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for working with trauma and distressing experiences. We can explore how the past is affecting you now and whether EMDR is appropriate for your needs, allowing time for preparation and working at a manageable pace. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples When communication becomes difficult or the same arguments keep returning, it can be hard to feel close. My work with couples draws on EFT to help you understand the emotions beneath these patterns, express your needs and work towards a more secure connection. Grief and bereavement counselling Loss can bring sadness, anger, confusion, loneliness or feelings that are difficult to name. I offer space to explore your grief without pressure to feel a certain way or follow a particular timeline. Meditation Where it feels helpful to you, meditation can form part of our work, offering opportunities to pause and notice your thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. We will explore this together, guided by your comfort and preferences.

Hello, I’m Amar, Integrative counselling therapist supporting adults and couples. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

My approach is warm, compassionate and collaborative. I take time to understand you, your experiences and what you would like from therapy. You do not need to know exactly what to say; we can begin wherever you are.

As an integrative practitioner, I draw on different therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs. My work includes EMDR for trauma and distressing experiences, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and counselling for grief and bereavement. Meditation can also be included where it suits your preferences and our work together.

I recognise the importance of culture, family and relationships in shaping our lives. I offer a respectful, non-judgemental space where these parts of your experience can be heard and understood.

I offer appointments in Upminster and Barkingside, Ilford, as well as online and by telephone. I speak English, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu.
