Kavitha Joshy

Currently accepting new clients .    

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my profile.

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor offering a warm, supportive, and confidential space where you can speak openly and feel truly heard. When life feels overwhelming, I provide a non-judgmental space to help you pause, reflect, and move forward.

I have several years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, both in private practice and as a counsellor with the mental health charity MIND. My approach is integrative and culturally sensitive, drawing on a range of therapeutic models including person-centred therapy, psychodynamic theory, Transactional Analysis, and Gestalt. I tailor my work to meet each client’s unique needs and pace.

As a British Asian therapist, I understand the complexities of cultural identity, intergenerational pressures, and the stigma that can surround mental health in some communities. I offer a space where these experiences can be explored safely and respectfully. I also recognise that such pressures can affect anyone, regardless of background.

Whether you're feeling anxious, low, stuck, or overwhelmed, therapy can help you gain clarity and reconnect with yourself. I believe that healing begins when we feel truly seen and accepted. I’ve witnessed how transformative it can be—both professionally and personally—when someone feels heard without judgment.

I offer sessions in English and Malayalam and welcome clients from all walks of life.

Sessions & Contact

I offer both short-term and long-term counselling, available face-to-face and online to suit your needs. Please feel free to contact me via email; I aim to respond within 24 hours. Fees are payable by bank transfer.

My Approach

I provide a confidential, respectful, and supportive therapeutic space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions in a safe and considered manner. My aim is to support you in navigating life’s challenges and fostering greater self-understanding and emotional wellbeing.

As a therapist with a diverse background, I bring a compassionate and culturally-informed perspective to my work. I understand the impact of cultural identity, family dynamics, and systemic pressures on mental health. I support individuals navigating personal challenges, cultural complexities, or seeking deeper self-awareness, offering a safe and confidential space to explore their unique journey.

I am committed to ongoing professional development to ensure I provide the highest standard of care. My ability to build strong therapeutic relationships and create a safe, non-judgmental environment is central to my practice. I believe each person’s path is unique, and I feel privileged to walk alongside clients as they explore, grow, and heal.

Whether you're facing emotional difficulties, cultural tensions, or simply seeking clarity and connection, I’m here to support you in discovering a way of being that feels authentic and empowering.

I am available for a free 20 minute online or phone consultation, for a chat about what you feel you need from therapy, what I offer as a therapist and also to see if we can both work well together. If we decide to work together, then we can discuss mutually convenient times for our session.

I work in a flexible manner and will always look to arrange sessions at a time that is suitable for both of us. All sessions are booked in and charged as fifty minutes.
