Gurleen Bhandari:
Psychodynamic Psychotherapist & Counsellor (BACP)
Hello and welcome. My name is Gurleen Bhandari and I am a qualified Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges.
My practice is based in HQ Therapy Rooms in Hackney, London E8. I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and therefore am committed to working within their ethical framework.
With a solid foundation in Psychology and extensive training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I offer a safe and supportive space for exploration, understanding, and healing.
How I Work:
In my practice, I prioritize building a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Drawing from psychodynamic principles, I delve into the unconscious dynamics that shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Together, we explore early experiences, relational patterns, and unconscious conflicts to gain insight into present difficulties and foster lasting change.
My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals.
I am currently only offering sessions to clients online (Stripe, Skype, Google Meet, etc).
Experience and Qualifications:
I hold a Distinction in my MA in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling, complemented by a BA in Psychology. My academic background provides a solid understanding of human behaviour and psychological processes, enriching my therapeutic practice.
In addition to my formal education, I bring valuable work experience from diverse clinical settings. I’ve worked in social work settings, supporting children and families through complex transitions and trauma. Additionally, my counselling placements took place at St Mungo’s, a homelessness charity, where I gained a deep understanding into the world of complex trauma.
My private practice continues to evolve, and I love to work with different cultural backgrounds, aiming to provide you with a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement.
Areas of Expertise:
I specialize in addressing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, identity exploration, and more. Whether you’re grappling with past wounds, navigating life transitions, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m here to support you on your journey towards healing and growth.
Additionally, I have been trained through an intersectional approach, addressing the complexities of identity and how unique we are as individuals, but also as communities.
Fees and Contact:
My standard fee for individual therapy sessions is £65 for a 50-minute session. Please feel free to reach out via email to schedule an initial free 10-minute consultation or inquire further about my services.
