Experience

Parminder has previously spent time working as a counsellor at Raphael, The Jewish Counselling Service (CIO), as well as two and a half years working at Brent Bereavement Services. The services that she offers include Person Centred Therapy and Experiential Therapies, as well as incorporating Transactional Analysis (TA), Gestalt Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). 

Specialisms

Parminder’s work is somatically informed, which involves recognising and adding comfort to uneasy sensations in the body. She aims to build a unique relationship with her counselling clients, sharing her professional understanding to help identify the links between how individuals feel, think, act or don’t act. Within the safe setting she offers, clients can discuss their concerns openly and be heard with empathy – empowering them to make real, positive changes to their lives. 

Parminder chose this career path after therapy helped her own life to improve. She enjoys the exploration of what it means to be human and the realisations that can follow, and is passionate about seeing people live better lives.
