Dilshini Sandhu , BACP

Dilshini, often known as Dil, brings a warm, heart-centered presence to her therapeutic work and aims to create a space where adults can explore the pressures and transitions in their lives. She supports people experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, cultural identity concerns, and the strain of life changes, tailoring each session to the person in front of her.

She is accredited by the BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a commitment to professional standards of practice. Her background combines formal study and creative practice - she studied Music and Psychology and has years of experience helping people use creative expression as a way to understand themselves and communicate more openly.

Dilshini completed an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London and trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor at the Metanoia Institute. She is currently undertaking a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy with a research focus on implicit bias and how therapeutic relationships are built across difference.

As a South Asian practitioner, she is attuned to the cultural expectations and stigma that can shape how people approach mental health. Her style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She integrates humanistic and relational perspectives with evidence-based techniques, drawing on client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to help people feel understood and move toward more authentic, fulfilling lives.
