Private 1:1 Counselling

Support for people who appear to be coping, while privately carrying too much.

Through private 1:1 counselling sessions, they are able to:

• better understand anxious thinking patterns

• reduce emotional overload

• recognise triggers and emotional responses

• build healthier coping habits

• improve emotional awareness

• reduce self-criticism

• feel calmer and mentally clearer

The aim is to reduce the emotional control those patterns have over your life.

Common Experiences

Not everyone who is struggling looks visibly distressed.

Some people continue working, responding to messages, supporting others, meeting expectations, and functioning outwardly while internally feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or overwhelmed.

Over time, this can create emotional disconnection

• nervous system exhaustion

• chronic anxiety beneath functioning

• loss of identity beneath responsibility

• a constant feeling of carrying too much internally

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting.

Most people don’t.

You just need a starting point.

The first few sessions are usually about getting a sense of what’s going on for you.

You might talk about what’s been difficult recently, or what’s been sitting in the background for longer.

It’s also a chance for you to see how it feels to talk with me.

There’s no expectation to go into everything straight away.
It’s common for things to take time to come into words.

How counselling works

Step 1 — Book your session
Choose a time that works for you.

Step 2 — Talk through what’s going on
We focus on what’s actually happening for you — not surface-level advice.

Step 3 — Start building control and clarity
You begin to understand your patterns and learn how to respond differently in real situations.

Sessions are online and last 60 minutes.

We would usually meet weekly, at a pace that feels manageable. There’s no expectation to explain everything straight away. We start with whatever you’re able to bring, even if that’s just a sense that something isn’t right.

Client reviews

Discover what others have said about their counselling sessions with me

“I took counselling to discuss long-standing trauma I experienced since childhood. Suki helped to eliminate my confusion, notice patterns and feel understood. I was able to move on from a large part of my trauma that was overwhelming, that I had never spoken about before. I was glad for the space that Sukhi provided that was safe and confidential.” Abi – Sutton Coldfield

“I’d never attended counselling before I started working with Sukhi. I feel fortunate to have spent the time I have working with her; she is a great listener and always makes me feel heard and understood. She’s great at eliciting reflection and thought in a particularly gentle and patient way. As time has passed I’ve found myself more and more looking forward to our sessions.” Scott – Birmingham
