More about Sarvin

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I offer a warm and engaging approach to exploring what’s causing you pain. My focus is on helping you re-connect with yourself to discover what you need to live a more fulfilling life.

I am a multi-cultural, integrative and intuitive psychotherapist. My approach combines psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, body psychotherapy, intuition and creativity. In practice, this means we’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, body, and behaviours with curiosity and compassion. We’ll explore your relationship with yourself and others, your needs and your values. And connect the dots to discover what's keeping you stuck and why.

My aim is to help you understand yourself as a whole and feel empowered to live the life you want.

I welcome creative expression- through drawing, writing, working with objects, or using imagination and intuition.

I have over 10 years experience working with a wide range of clients, and I see clients privately with a special interest in working with identity and any kind of difference, including culture.

I believe we all have the ability to grow and thrive with the right resources. I also believe that when we build a more trusting relationship with ourselves, we can take that belief in ourselves through every challenge and face it with more confidence.

I offer online sessions via video or voice call.

If you’d like a confidential space to explore difficult parts of your life or to gain perspective from an objective professional, therapy could be a great place to start.

About online counselling

Counselling without referrals.
No doctor referral required.
Convenient.
Virtual counselling sessions are a flexible alternative to in-person therapy.
Available now.
Counselling in as little as 48 hours. No waiting list and no calls to make.

Online counselling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counselling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
