About me and my work

Hi,

I’m Dilya, a qualified counsellor based in London. I offer counselling services both online and in-person, with locations in Central London and Beckenham (South East London). My approach to therapy is warm, integrative, and holistic, and I am passionate about providing a supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

As a trained Psychosynthesis counsellor, I take a transpersonal approach to counselling, which focuses on the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – and helps individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their life journey. I also have experience as a mindfulness teacher and incorporate mindful awareness into my practice. By cultivating presence in the sessions, I use mindfulness techniques to help address anxiety, worry, and a sense of disconnection or lack of groundedness. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, validated, and empowered to make lasting changes in your life.

Services Offered:

• One-to-one therapy sessions (available both in-person and online)

• Short-term or long-term counselling

• Specialising in identity changes (parenthood, pregnancy, immigration, marriage, divorce, LGBTQIA+ issues, and more)

• Mindfulness techniques for anxiety, worry, and grounding

Whether you are facing a specific life transition or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to support you through it. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing and work toward healing, self-understanding, and empowerment.

My Approach:

• I offer a client-centered, compassionate environment, where we can work together to explore the challenges you are facing.

• My approach is integrative, combining different therapeutic techniques tailored to your specific needs.

• I take a holistic approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences, and helping you develop resilience and self-awareness.

• As a mindfulness teacher, I bring mindful awareness into our work together, helping you develop a deeper sense of presence and grounding. I use mindfulness techniques to help address anxiety, worry, and moments when you feel disconnected or ungrounded.

Specialisations:

I have a strong focus on helping individuals navigate significant changes in their life or identity. My key specialisations include:

• Mental health: anxiety, worry, depression, panic attacks, anxiety attacks, OCD, burnout, emotional instability, loneliness, disconnect with the world, loss of meaning or purpose, suicidal thoughts, grief, etc. 

• Parenthood: Whether you are trying to become a parent or transitioning into parenthood, adjusting to new family dynamics, or managing the challenges of raising children, I offer a safe space to explore these changes.

• Pregnancy: The journey of pregnancy can bring a range of emotions, from excitement to anxiety, and may require emotional support to navigate the physical and psychological changes during this time.

• Immigration: The experience of moving to a new country can bring feelings of isolation, identity shifts, and cultural adjustment. I support individuals through the emotional and psychological challenges of immigration.

• Marriage & Divorce: Life changes such as marriage or separation can be complex and emotionally charged. I work with clients to understand their emotions, heal, and navigate these transitions.

• LGBTQIA+ Identity: I offer a supportive, affirming space for those navigating their identity within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Our first session is 50 minutes long, where we have an opportunity to get to know each other and understand the reason for counselling. I conduct an assessment and I tell you how we can work together or refer you to other professionals if deemed necessary.
