Individual counselling is a private conversation with someone trained to help. You don’t need to be in crisis, and you don’t need a diagnosis.

People come for help with

Anxiety, worry and panic
Depression, low mood and feeling numb
Stress at work, home or school
Anger and conflict
Relationships and parenting
Substance use and recovery
Self-esteem and identity
Moving to the city or away from home

How a session goes

You talk about what matters most that day. Mukesh listens, asks questions, and may suggest ideas to try. You can say no to anything. If something isn’t helping, say so, and the approach will change.

How long does it take?

There’s no fixed answer. Some people come for a few sessions. Others come for longer. NIHB covers up to 22 hours per calendar year, and Mukesh can request more if you need it.

Is it confidential?

Yes, with limited exceptions required by law, such as serious risk of harm or a child in need of protection. Mukesh will explain these at the start.
