About Me

Meet Rushali – Your Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist

Hi, I’m Rushali—an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, proudly registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I’m passionate about creating a safe, inclusive, and compassionate space for individuals from all walks of life to explore their emotional world, navigate challenges, and grow toward a more empowered self.I bring a holistic and compassionate approach to counselling. I’ve trained extensively in the UK and the US, earning my credentials from the University of Derby (Distinction) and University of California, Davis, with a unique blend of science and the humanities.

Through my work, I aim to create a non-judgmental and inclusive environment—a therapeutic space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, identity, relationships, trauma, or life transitions, my role is to walk alongside you with warmth, curiosity, and respect.

Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, Attachment Theory, and insights from Compassion-Focused and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, I tailor each session to your pace and preferences—because healing is never one-size-fits-all.
