Hema Chowdhury
Integrative counsellorAbout Me
We have found ourselves at a time in history where our fears and anxieties are heightened due to the health-related concerns and social restrictions. We may be unable to turn to our usual coping mechanisms, leaving us feeling hopeless, helpless and not in control. Perhaps you are struggling with relationships, overwhelmed with family commitments or work-related stress. You may be suffering from feelings of anxiety, low depressive moods and a lack of joy and motivation.
Please feel free to get in touch for a free 15-minute consultation, I would be happy to talk through how I work and how I can help you through this difficult period. My very first aim is to create a safe, trusting and confidential space, so you feel comfortable exploring what is weighing you down. We would then prioritise what you need to work on, perhaps it is the physical symptoms of feeling anxious or depressed or perhaps it is an exploration of what it is happening, or has happened in your life.
I am offering sessions on Zoom or if you are local and do not mind uncertain weather, I am offering walk and talk in local parks convenient to us both.

Bereavement and grief
Working with medically unexplained symptoms for example; chronic pain, fibromyalgia, IBS and many more. I understand living with long-term conditions can have a limiting and debilitating effect on life. I can work with you to understand how our emotional wellbeing can impact our physical health. Nurturing our emotional wellbeing can bring about positive changes to our physical health, ultimately, improving our quality of life.
Diversity
I welcome the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds. I understand what it means to be at the intersection of cultures, beliefs and values. I understand how challenging life can feel, if our values and way of being, are not in-line with those of the majority. I would be honoured to work with you to find your footing in life, and feel at home in your unique identity.
