With self awareness, you will be able to observe any anxiety, depression & confusion, and learn to use what life gives you to create transformation & fulfilment.
Ratna offers you the experience of feeling deeply heard & respected. Her genuine, non-judgmental guidance & support, helps you learn to receive, relax & trust more in relationship. You can:
- Learn to enjoy life more!
- Build more social connectedness
- Change unhealthy patterns
- Regulate & manage emotions
- Increase creativity & productivity

Often the obstacles we face in life contain within them the very building blocks we need to form a stronger & more purposeful self. With help you can learn how to turn obstacles into opportunities. Counselling gently explores what appears to be holding you back i.e. limiting out-dated beliefs/traumas. When we learn how to identify how limiting beliefs form in your life, there is increased choice & ability to change and live your full potential.
Counselling/Therapy Approach
Ratna is trained in Psychosynthesis, a form of psycho-spiritual psychology. She can help you to know yourself better; to differentiate & understand what is going on for you on all levels: body, feelings, mind & spirit. She guides you to establish an embodied, grounded, effective way of being in practical everyday life. The process also supports you to grow spiritually. In confidential, caring & relational ways, Ratna works within a holistic framework; understanding that we all have our own answers within. You will be given space, encouragement & guidance to explore & discover your own solutions.
