Hello My name is Aruna Ramkalowon. I am a qualified therapist since 2018 and MBACP Registered.
Anyone can experience difficulties in life and if you have issues that you want to explore confidentially, therapy is a safe space without judgement. Some issues can weigh on the mind and its effects can be short or long term. Working together in therapy, we can explore some therapy tools to manage how you relate to life stresses and therefore work towards reducing mental health effects.
By taking the next step into your counselling journey with me you will enter into a confidential and empathetic experience where you are in control of your session. My role is to facilitate your therapy experience as you explore your thought processes and feelings with me and with some use of worksheets for your reflective work. My practice integrates counselling skills and tools from across counselling modalities because I work integratively. My main approach is psychodynamic with CBT which is about holding you in a kind relationship with time and nonjudgmental space to hopefully feel safe to look within yourself. I am MBACP skilled and trained to a high professional standard and there are continual professional development courses, information updates and studies that I am required to keep abreast of and maintain for ongoing high standards in my therapeutic profession.
In the 5 years of my therapeutic counselling I have worked in charities and educational institutions and I have started to move to online therapy with an American owned platform here in the UK.
At present I am offering only online therapy as online clients have a preference to use this growing medium to research and connect to a therapist quickly. If you are new to therapy or want to have a relaxed chat then we can arrange for a free 20 minutes consultation by video call.
A full session is 50 minutes each and usually weekly for regular check in and time between sessions to reflect and work on yourself using practice skills.
I take necessary time getting to know the background of my clients and with empathy learn about their significant life events that they may have experienced so I do not rush the process to get into the working issues until the client is ready to trust me.
