Ajmer Wahiwala

Counsellor

UK

Experience In my 12 years as an Optometrist, I've had the privilege of engaging with patients on a personal level within the medical field. This experience has provided me with a distinctive base for delving into therapeutic work. My solid grasp of both the medical and therapeutic realms enables me to seamlessly integrate techniques from both domains, offering valuable support to my clients as they navigate their unique journeys.  Training In my therapeutic journey, I've had the privilege of working both within the NHS and the private sector. This rich tapestry of experiences has exposed me to a diverse array of psychological presentations, allowing me to develop a profound understanding of the human experience. Specifically, I've delved into the intricate realms of bereavement and loss, collaborating with esteemed organisations like Cruise and the RNIB counselling services. These varied experiences have woven together to form the fabric of my integrative approach. I strive to create a holistic environment that nurtures deep insight, fosters growth, facilitates healing, and instigates meaningful change. It's not just a profession for me; it's a journey of connection, understanding, and empowerment. I welcome you to embark on this journey with me, where we can navigate the complexities of life together.
