Mani Ramaswamy (my pronouns are she/her)

Often we can feel overwhelmed by what is going on in our lives, and stuck in survival mode or unable to fully express ourselves. Maybe you are depressed, but don't know why. Or anxious and sad, but can't find the time or space to figure out what's going on. 

No matter how impossible a situation may seem, I believe that it holds potential for healing and growth. Therapy can help with many issues, including:

• Attachment and intimacy
• Anxiety, panic or stress 
• Depression, shame and low self-esteem 
• Loneliness and isolation 
• Coming to terms with illness 
• Loss and bereavement 
• Work problems 
• Money worries 
• Sexuality and gender issues 
• Culture, identity and belonging 
• Loss of purpose and meaning 
• Life changes 

I see clients for weekly 50-minute sessions and use a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to suit individual needs, including Gestalt, person-centred, humanistic, integrative and Psychosynthesis therapy. 

I may draw on techniques including guided imagery, meditation, breathwork, art therapy, journalling and creative dialogue. 

I offer brief counselling for shorter periods to look at particular issues, or longer-term therapy to explore what's going on in more depth. 

If you are interested in working with me, the first step is to give me a call or send me an email. We will then arrange a free 20-minute introductory phone call so you can tell me a bit about your current issues and ask any questions you may have. If we are then happy to meet, we will fix an appointment as soon as we can.
