Hello! My name is Ayanda and thank you for considering my profile. I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor currently offering online sessions with adults. I trained at The Minster Centre. My integrative training means I am able to tailor my approach to address your individual concerns. I draw primarily on relational, existential and embodied approaches. This means considering the role relationships have played in shaping your experience (including with yourself, within your family and wider society); exploring the meaning you make of your concerns and ways that your concerns can manifest themselves in and through your body. I bring an intersectional lens to my practice considering the role that oppression can play in shaping your daily experience. I come to counselling following a career in audience research spanning nearly 15 years. After my own journey of transformation which was facilitated by therapy, I trained as counsellor in the hopes of facilitating spaces of exploration and transformation for others.I am also a member of the Black and Asian Therapist Network (BAATN)
