Padmalila is a mature and supportive psychotherapeutic counsellor. As you work together the relationship between you becomes a safe, containing space where you are encouraged to explore what brings you to counselling and how your past experience sheds light on your life today. In this confidential space healing can happen.

She holds an awareness of difference and diversity and will work with you appropriately to address how cultural conditioning and context plays out in your life.

Padmalila helps you access resources you already have, and identify other resources to draw on that can help you face life's challenges. She keeps a balance between holding and challenging you. 

She will work with you to understand your pain and suffering as the soul’s call for attention. 

According to your preference you may use imagination, stories, dreams, creativity, the felt sense of the body. Together you may wonder about links between world issues, societal issues and what you face in your life today. 

Padmalila brings her many years of experience of teaching and practise of meditation and mindfulness into the therapeutic relationship to help deepen and ground the work she does with her clients.

She initially worked as a nursery school teacher in Tower Hamlets for many years. She studied art and then set up a successful charity shop with a friend. She qualified as a Breathworks trainer and has supported many people through the pandemic to manage better with chronic pain, illness and stress using mindfulness and meditation. Padmalila has trained as an End-of-Life Doula and can support you to hold experiences of loss and bereavement, pain and illness.

Padmalila is a graduate of Re-Vision Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapy and Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and she abides by the BACP ethical framework. She also practises privately in Shoreditch.
