The team at Talkaid
My name is Raksha...
Counsellor/Psychotherapist
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am also a qualified Clinical Supervisor, providing supervision to professionals working within caring environments, as well as to trainee and qualified counsellors.
I am fully insured, hold a current Enhanced DBS certificate, and engage in regular monthly clinical supervision. Ongoing supervision is a vital part of ethical practice, ensuring that I work safely, professionally, and effectively with all clients.
Counselling is a collaborative talking therapy centred entirely around you. My focus is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
I have extensive experience working across a range of settings with adults, young people, and couples. My areas of experience include trauma, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, burnout and other complex emotional and relational difficulties. I bring over 20 years experience of working with young people.
I currently run a private practice, offering both counselling and clinical supervision services.
I am deeply committed to the work I do and to building meaningful therapeutic relationships. My aim is to provide compassionate support and understanding, helping you navigate feelings, challenges, fears, and important life choices — ensuring you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout your journey.
Supervision
I am a qualified Level 6 Clinical Supervisor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Supervision and an Integrative Counsellor.
I provide supervision to both individuals and groups, working with qualified and trainee counsellors. I support practitioners working with young people, adults, and couples. With over 20 years’ experience in schools, I bring extensive knowledge of working with young people. I have also supervised professionals including teachers, nurses, and others in caring roles, as well as those in business settings who are responsible for supporting staff within a compassionate working environment.
My approach offers practical, ethical, and reflective support to counsellors and support workers in managing their practice. I aim to walk alongside you in your professional journey, offering a safe and supportive space to explore your client work and how it impacts you personally. Together, we will reflect on your feelings within the work, manage caseloads effectively, and address any ethical challenges that arise. My goal is to enhance your confidence, skills, and professional development while maintaining high ethical standards and safe practice.
I believe that consistency and a strong supervisory relationship are central to effective supervision. Finding the right supervisory match is essential. I strive to build an open, honest, and trusting relationship where you feel comfortable and secure.
Effective counselling depends on the emotional wellbeing and development of the counsellor. Supervision provides the opportunity to reflect on your work and your responses to clients, supporting both personal and professional growth.
I have experience across a wide range of therapeutic modalities.
