About Aurora Counselling
BACP Registered Counselling and Psychotherapy
Welcome. I’m Priya Lakhanpaul, founder of Aurora Counselling.
I am a BACP registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and partner of The Aurora Practice in Richmond upon Thames. You can read more about The Aurora Practice here.
Aurora Counselling provides confidential in-person and online counselling and psychotherapy for adults over the age of 16.
My clinical background includes working within national mental health organisations such as Mind, Samaritans, London Therapy Foundation and at The Mulberry Centre at West Middlesex Hospital, counselling a diverse range of clients and NHS patients.
Clients come from all cultures and backgrounds and seek help for anything that is causing difficulty. Issues may be complex or long-term, involve diagnoses, or come up during the everyday of life such as in relationships, with family, at work or when change, loss or uncertainty occurs. Counselling offers a non-judgmental space which is dedicated to helping people work through things with focus and depth.

As a qualified Integrative practitioner, I draw upon extensive knowledge of psychotherapeutic approaches to explore the way in which issues are affecting clients within the personal framework of their lives. This help clients uncover deep insights into personal issues, to discover new perspectives and solutions and to experience transformative changes that help to deal with future challenges.
Counselling and psychotherapy may involve humanistic, Gestalt, CBT or psychoanalytic elements but will, at the heart of the process, be a warm, empathic, relational and person-centred process with a central focus on your needs and value placed on your feeling at ease in the therapeutic relationship.
I am also experienced in using creative and holistic techniques within counselling and groups. This includes using clay and other art materials, photographs, journaling, visualisation, dreamwork, archetypes and mindfulness. Elements of creative and holistic ways of working can be brought into sessions if this is something that you feel may be helpful for you.
Having trained in performance coaching, I can provide clients who are looking for personal development focused sessions coaching or a blend of counselling and coaching.
I feel honoured to work in a profession which enables me to connect with people from all walks of life at such a profound level and which provides me with so much meaning.
As a registered counsellor and psychotherapist with the BACP, I abide by the ethics and regulations of the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. Respect for confidentiality, diversity, and individuality of choice is at the heart of my practice.
I hold a British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accredited qualification in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling; British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited Bsc (Hons) in Psychology and Certified Diploma in Performance Coaching.
I look forward to meeting you.
