  • Thulasi is the therapist I never knew I needed! She's been great at guiding me to realise and name parts of myself which I found immensely helpful in coping with my worry which is the stem of much of my anxiety. I love that she provides her opinion with permission when needed, as her voice provides a different perspective that I find insightful.

    Client Solutions Manager | Marketing

  • From the very first conversation I was at ease. Once we had worked on my immediate workplace issues we moved onto coaching and next steps in moving forward. I would thoroughly recommend Thulasi to anyone, especially those who may be nervous to reach out and ask for support.

    Director of Adult Services | Charity/Third Sector

  • What I found most incredible, was the space with which Thulasi created in order for me to complete and transform past traumas with EMDR. For me, this form of treatment is unquestionably the most effective and healing experience I’ve ever had. I think it’s the combination of Thulasi being a really insightful practitioner and how the process works.

From Coping to Thriving

Relief From Physical Symptoms

Many clients come to therapy distressed by physical manifestations—tight chest, difficulty breathing, hypervigilance, flashbacks, and nightmares. Learn to understand these body responses and develop techniques to regulate your nervous system when it feels threatening or overwhelming.

Strengthen Your Mental Resilience

Develop robust mental strategies that help you respond effectively to challenges rather than reacting automatically. Build internal strength that enables you to face difficulties with confidence and clarity.   

Master Your Emotional Responses

Transform your relationship with strong emotions that once felt overwhelming or uncontrollable. Develop the ability to experience feelings without being overtaken by them, maintaining your composure and effectiveness even in challenging situations.

Break Free From Limiting Patterns

Identify and release recurring thought and behavior patterns that keep you stuck. Experience the liberation that comes when you're no longer controlled by automatic responses to triggers.

Feel Like Yourself Again

When psychological distress manifests physically and emotionally, the mind-body connection becomes fragmented. Learn powerful techniques to reintegrate this connection, helping you feel like yourself once again.

And there’s a lot more…

Those are just few of the benefits you’ll experience by building a psychological toolkit. It will become your lifelong companion, and you can keep adding to it as you grow and evolve. 

Our services - Therapy Approaches

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

    Evidence-based approach that transforms problems by changing the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Using structured techniques and practical exercises, you'll identify and reshape the thinking patterns that drive emotional distress and unhelpful responses.

  • EMDR Therapy

    Brain-based trauma treatment that processes distressing memories through bilateral stimulation while recalling experiences. This unique methodology helps the brain reprocess stuck memories, reducing their emotional charge and transforming how they impact your daily life.

  • Psychodynamic Therapy

    Insight-oriented approach that examines unconscious patterns and early relationship dynamics that influence current behavior. Through exploration of dreams, emotions, and interpersonal patterns, you'll understand and transform deeply rooted responses.
