About Priya: Founder and Psychotherapist
I am Priya Patel, a Counselling Psychologist in doctoral training, currently completing Stage 2 of my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology. My clinical experience spans NHS primary care, third-sector services, and specialist placements, where I have supported adults and young people experiencing a wide range of psychological and emotional difficulties.
I aim to offer a compassionate, non-judgemental, and collaborative space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported in their unique journeys. I believe deeply in each individual’s capacity for growth and healing, and I work at your pace to explore challenges in a way that feels safe and meaningful.
