Let's talk about you

Does This Sound Familiar?

Neurodivergent Life

You feel like you're constantly trying to fit into a neurotypical world that wasn't designed for you, leading to anxiety and burnout.

Kink & Non-Monogamy

You're exploring non-monogamy or kink and need a therapist who "gets it" without you having to educate them.

Cultural Identity

You carry the weight of your cultural background, feeling caught between different worlds or expectations as an immigrant, expat, or first-generation Brit.

Inner Critic

You feel lonely, unseen, or misunderstood by loved ones, struggling with low self-worth and a harsh inner critic.

Past Trauma

Past experiences—childhood neglect, trauma, or difficult relationships—cast a long shadow, making it hard to set boundaries and trust others.

Perfectionism Trap

You're seen as successful and high-achieving, but you're exhausted by the constant pressure to be perfect and live in fear of making a mistake.

If you are nodding along, you are in the right place. And I want you to know, healing is possible.

A Different Kind of Therapy: Healing Through Connection, Not Conformity.

My name is Valli (She/Her), and I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role isn’t to give you advice, but to offer a compassionate, supportive space where your experiences are validated and your identity is celebrated.

My practice is built on a decolonising and affirming foundation. This means we don’t just look at your symptoms; we explore the systems and conditioning that shape your experience.

Together, we can work to:

Process Past Trauma

Gently unpack and understand formative experiences at a pace that feels safe for you.

01

Enhance Self-Awareness

Gain clarity on your thought patterns, emotions, and needs, especially through a neurodivergent lens.

02

Build Healthier Relationships

Learn to communicate effectively, set meaningful boundaries, and navigate relationship structures that align with your values.

03

Cultivate Self-Worth

Move beyond shame and self-criticism to embrace your authentic self with compassion.

Hi, I'm Valli Bowring

I’m a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered with the BACP. My journey to becoming a therapist was deeply personal; I’ve sat in the client’s chair too, and I know how transformative it can be to feel truly seen and heard.

My approach is Person-Centred, but I draw on different methods to tailor our sessions to your specific needs. I am committed to my own ongoing learning and professional development to ensure I can offer you the best possible support. When I’m not working, you can find me cooking, reading, or spending time in nature with my cats and loved ones.

Testimonials

Here’s how our clients have experienced profound healing and personal growth through our services.

A Space Designed For You

I have a passion for and specialise in working with individuals who are often underserved in traditional therapy spaces.

 

Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy

 

Your brain is unique, not broken. We’ll explore how your ADHD or Autistic traits are a part of you, focusing on strategies for thriving in a neurotypical world while celebrating your inherent strengths.

 

Non-Monogamy & Kink-Aware Counselling

 

Whether you’re polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, or exploring the kink community, this is a safe space. We can discuss jealousy, communication, and relationship dynamics without fear of judgment.

 

Culturally-Sensitive & Decolonising Therapy

 

As a South Asian woman, I offer a familiar and understanding perspective for people of colour, immigrants, and first-generation individuals. We can explore racial identity, generational trauma, and the impact of oppression on your mental health.
