I would like to say thank you Jindy for helping me through the most difficult time in my life. I really wasn't sure what to expect from counselling. I was hesitant and reluctant but now I can honestly say I feel much happier and like my old self. You helped me understand myself, my feelings and situation and I am very good now at identifying triggers and getting back on track when I need to. Thank you.
I wanted to say thank you so much for the support you’ve given to me in the past few months, it has been invaluable to me! I certainly would not have been able to have managed without your help. You are amazing and brilliant at what you do! I really do take comfort that you are out there for people during their time in need like you were for me! All the best for your future!
I thought I was broken; I didn't ever think I would feel okay again. My sessions with you made me feel normal and you understood me better than anyone else in my life. I now realise that all I needed was a safe space to explore everything and for somebody to accept me, my flaws, my feelings and thoughts - and you did that. My relationships are better with other people now, my focus is back at work and I make looking after myself a priority and take responsibility for my mental wellbeing. I feel I have gained tools that are with me for the rest of my life. I can't thank you enough.
EMDR has released me from the pain that I was holding onto. It feels like magic, I don't know how it worked and maybe I don't need to. All I know is that I feel better, much better.
Wow, who would have thought that things that happened all them years ago, in my childhood, was still affecting me today. Thank you for the insight, for your patience, kind and gentle manner and for helping me understand myself better than I ever have done before. I feel like a new person and in control of my life.
Jindy, I was in a dark place when I came to see you. I couldn't see a way out and thought I would feel this way forever. Sometimes, I found the counselling very hard, to look inside myself and face the things that I had been hiding away from for so long. I had started drinking alcohol more over the years before seeing you. You helped me to realise that this was just making things worse. Your approach was kind, full of compassion and understanding and whenever I found things difficult, I found your smile reassuring - like you believed in me more than I believed in myself. My friends and family have all noticed positive changes in me and I can finally see some light moving forward. Forever grateful for your help.
I lost my mum some years ago and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shift the memories that haunted me. EMDR has helped me to see things in a different way. I can't believe that I can finally talk about that painful time in my life, and actually talk, and not cry or feel the intense pain I once felt. You have helped me feel empowered and back to feeling like myself.
I wish I had come to see you years ago. These counselling sessions have helped me tremendously. Thank you.
My wife feels she has her husband back. My children have their father back. I have myself back. Depression and anxiety are very difficult to deal with, especially alone. I didn't feel alone with you and no longer feel alone in my home or mind. I can manage my anger better and my emotions in general.
I really enjoyed coming to see you, which sounds strange, because for the full 50-minute session, I mostly spent crying or telling you what's wrong. But I had no one else I could do this with. I felt human again, after each session I would go home and feel normal. Thank you for validating my feelings and helping me find ways of coping.
It's been a rollercoaster of emotions! But worth it, best investment I have made - investing in myself.

FAQs
A few practical things you may be wondering.
If your question is not answered here, you are welcome to ask when you get in touch.
How long is each session?
50 minutes per session
Do you take insurance?
Yes, I am registered with the major insurance companies such as AXA and Aviva. Please check directly with your insurance provider to see if you are covered.
How often would I come to therapy?
Most clients attend once a week. After a therapeutic relationship has been established, and the client has made progress, fortnightly sessions are an option.
Is what we discuss in sessions confidential?
Yes, unless there is a risk of harm to you, or someone else. I would discuss with you, where possible, if I ever have to break confidentiality.
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can use the contact form, email or call me.
What is the cost of therapy?
From £100 per session for self-funding clients. For insurance referrals, please check with your provider to see if you have to pay an excess fee.
How do I know if a therapist is right for me?
I always encourage people to contact a few therapists, by email or call. By doing this, usually people are drawn to a particular therapist.
How many sessions will I need?
This is difficult to say, as we are all different, trying to work through different issues. We can discuss this during the initial assessment sessions. Some clients know how many sessions they can afford, in which case, we discuss together which issues we need to prioritise and aim to work on these within our timeframe.
Where is your office located?
I offer video sessions to reach a wider client base. For in person sessions, I have an office close to the city centre on New Walk, Leicester.
