BLS Counselling

After an extended period of counselling with Bharati last year, I returned for a few months as I sensed myself moving into a new phase of transformation. I was feeling stuck and in need of a circuit-breaker. I knew Bharati would, once again, be a kind and knowledgeable guide, and I was not disappointed. She strikes a wonderful balance between healing support and gentle challenge. For this reason, I have made meaningful progress with Bharati unlike that with any other counsellor I've worked with. Her generosity of spirit is truly a gift.

I can not express enough gratitude for the support and guidance I received from Bharati. She made me feel safe, heard and accepted. Her advice and care is very genuine and her observations have been very insightful and allowed me to open up and explore my thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Bharati has a very warm demeanour and is passionate about helping people. She not only helped me work through my thoughts and identify my real feelings but also provided the tools for me to be able to learn how to do this for myself. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and empathetic therapist. Thank you, Bharati, for making such a positive impact on my life and I will be in touch for the next session soon :)

Bharati has been a great breath of fresh air for my mental and spiritual health. She has been objective, calm and helpful in her work with me. She has a very warm approach and helps me find my own way and insights - something I quite value in our sessions. She has helped me through some of the most turbulent times always helping ground me, and I would highly recommend anyone considering sessions to take them up - its life changing.

Bharati has helped me during one of the most difficult times of my life. I have truly valued her gentle guidance, calm and attentive manner, her ability to help me get in touch with my true feelings and her encouragement to value my own self care.

Bharati is an extremely kind, encouraging counsellor. I feel safe, validated and inwardly untangled after every session with her. I'm so grateful that I have met her.

"No matter what I had to present, there was always a method or way of working through it. The small tasks I had to complete and the questions I was given to think about had been much more effective than plainly talking about problems like I’ve done with previous counsellors. You are really flexible and patient both when negotiating a session and within the session itself. This also didn’t feel like a business deal like it did with the previous counsellor I had, it felt more like good genuine help. Thank you very much :)"

Bharati is seriously an amazing counsellor. She is kind, compassionate and takes the time to listen to you wholeheartedly and fully. She encourages me to dig deep and search within myself to find the root cause of issues. We work together to come up with strategies and ultimately progress towards healing.

To put it simply, Bharati is an angel. From the initial chat that I had with her, I guess she could sense my pain and turmoil, she accommodated me with such grace and understanding. The journey has been long but I have to really commend her for her efforts as I honestly don't know how my life would have taken a turn had she of not been there to guide and support me. Her approach is relaxed, calming, subtle but attentive. What might seem like simple conversation, is driven with purpose - I have noticed that Bharati has asked certain question, shifted conversation as required and provided adequate tools to assist me with my healing. In the moment it might not make sense but if you trust her and the process, you will see results as well. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Bharati for being such a lovely, lovely soul and helping me through my healing journey.

I feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to build a strong therapeutic relationship with Bharati. Her warm, deeply caring manner and active approach have helped me in gaining many valuable insights and encouraged me along my path healing and resilience-building. I've worked with several counsellors in the past, and this is the first time that I feel deep shifts have occurred. I feel confident in continuing the process of self-realisation I started with Bharati, and I'm sure I'll return for check-ins and further explorations in future!

Bharati was exactly what I needed when I needed it. She was a wonderful listener, who knew how to ask the right questions to draw me out of myself. I felt so safe and held in her sessions. Her energy is calm, welcoming and non judgemental. Nothing I said was too much, or incorrect. She made me see myself in a much clearer light and often, when I was lost, brought me back to myself. She is a wonderful counsellor and incredible person. Thank you for all your time and energy Bharati.

"I found Bharati to be compassionate and caring, at the same time, very impartial and fair.
She understood our issues and dealt with them with understanding, without making a judgement.
We feel thankful for her services."

"Bharati is a wonderful therapist. She understands our perspective as she tries to step into our shoes and think through situations we have been in. Her activities and discussions are a huge benefit which helps in gaining a clear perspective. She is extremely compassionate and makes sure that I am alright before leaving the session. The environment she creates makes me extremely comfortable which in turn helps me to come out of my shell fully and explore my issues and ways to solve them. I feel extremely lucky to have met a therapist like her, she has already helped me a lot and the results are obvious. I can see the changes in me. I felt progress was made each week I met her. I started the sessions when I was completely vulnerable and hysterically crying but she made sure that I was given a safe space to open myself up. I am extremely grateful to her, she taught me how to have faith in myself. She makes sure that I feel worthy of myself and she always ends the session telling me that there is hope and I have the capabilities to overcome my problems.
I would definitely recommend Bharati (BLS counselling) if anyone needs a warm, friendly, understanding and compassionate environment.
Thank you so much Bharati. Can't Wait for our next session."
