Real Stories of Healing & Growth

Hearing about other people’s experiences can help you get a sense of what it actually feels like to step into the therapy room with me. To protect the privacy and confidentiality of the individuals I work with, all names and identifying details have been completely omitted. These are their real words, shared with permission.

"Just being listened to without judgment, with compassion and on a down-to-earth level, has been crucial for me."

​

"I was working in a role where we often get squeezed between the pressure of senior leadership and our frontline teams, expected to perform miracles. Without Kiran, I was on a path to a very dark place. She's a very special lady and I'm honestly so grateful for her help. Being given the tools to make life more manageable and understanding that I am not the problem has been critical to my recovery."

 "She made me find my worth and understand my grief."

​

"Having someone I could trust and talk to, she made me feel important, heard, and safe. She helped me understand my grief a bit better and learn how to cope with it.

 

Work is so stressful it has a huge impact on your personal life too, and Kiran has made me understand work is not your whole life."

"In over 20 years of living with poor mental health, I have never felt so genuinely listened to and validated."

​

"Having struggled with my mental health since I was teenager, I have explored various routes including medication and NHS therapy, but often came away feeling more unwell. From my very first interaction with Kiran, I knew she was something special.

​

She helped me reconnect with who I used to be and rediscover who I truly am beneath the trauma and heartache. I can now live with the belief that there is nothing inherently wrong with me; rather, my experiences shaped the way my mind and body responded in order to protect me."

 "I felt like I had no autonomy... now I am able to advocate for myself."

​

"I had been struggling to manage for a very long time. My sessions with Kiran have helped me believe in myself and stand up for myself. Without these sessions, I am certain that I would be stuck in a downward spiral with no way out. Having a service like this could quite literally be a matter of life and death for many people."

 "I am a better person and worker because of it."

​

"My mental health was in a critical state and I was at risk of losing my job. I couldn’t have improved at the pace or quality that I did without the incredible help from Dr. Kiran. I have never met another person who is so professional, thorough, and most of all, kind. I learned a great deal from our sessions and healed parts of my subconscious that I wasn't aware were broken."
