I see counselling as a transformative journey that can positively change and shape the way you both see and experience yourself and furthermore relate to others. I am an experienced and dedicated counsellor of 11 years' standing and I work with a range of issues and welcome a diversity of clients. We work together so you can find relief from emotional distress, build self-awareness and access inner resources with the ultimate aim of improving your overall quality of life . The counselling process is a rich opportunity to constructively evolve and increase your personal choice and freedom. It promotes fresh insights about yourself, the people and the circumstances of your life, thereby offering you a pathway to nourishing experiences both in and outside the counselling roorm. Over the years I have practised as a counsellor I have consistently established supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationships with a diverse range of individuals, each with their unique story characterised by their particular circumstances and challenges.

Menaka Thiru Practice Description
HOW I WORK WITH YOU I aim to create online a safe, non-judgemental space where you can feel you and your life really matter. You address whatever is on your mind or heart at your own pace. I work integratively, drawing on both humanistic and psychodynamic principles. I offer both short-term and open-ended counselling. Each session last 50 minutes. Making the first step towards counselling can feel daunting. Rest assured I offer a warm welcome. If after reading my profile you feel you wish to make contact please do so. EXPERIENCE: I worked as a volunteer counsellor for children and young people aged 11-18 at a Cambridgeshire secondary school between 2012 and 2016. I counselled many adults between May 2015 and and 2019 for a Cambridgeshire based organisation named Sky Blue. I worked as a voluntary counsellor for adults between November 2018 and September 2019 for the mental health charity Mind Cambridgeshire Peterborough and South Lincolnshire. I have counselled individual adults for a broad range of concerns, in private practice, since December 2017. I have been counselling university students online since April 2022. . Moreover, I have more recently drawn on my knowledge of mental health to mentor university students both online and in-person in my capacity as a Specialist Mental Health Mentor. CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT I take a very active interest in Continuing Professional Development for counsellors and psychotherapists and am always eager to expand my theoretical knowledge and clinical skills so that I can improve my service to clients. With this aim in mind I regularly attend a variety of study days, conferences and workshops and also read widely.
