Ajanta is a qualified and skilled Counsellor, Therapist, Advocate & Mediator with many years personal & professional experience across a broad demographic & interest area. Ajanta believes that counselling and therapy are beneficial to any human being, just as maintenance is beneficial to a car. Therapy and supervision are also essential for the development of good therapists. Ajanta follows a prac
tical (non-religious) Buddhist philosophical approach to life with its inherent values of non-violence, compassion and the path to becoming fully awakened plus she incorporates mindfulness (self awareness) practice into her daily life. She uses fundamentals of this approach within her counselling work as it is invaluable in settling the mind and developing insight. Clients are offered a safe and confidential environment with an attentive, compassionate, empathic approach. She works dynamically and has an eclectic style. Ajanta specifically aims to assist people to live harmoniously and achieve non-reactivity in the face of adversity or, what life may present to us at any given time. This is particularly important in view of what is happening globally. Her specific areas of interest (but not limited to) include: grief, loss & dying; child sexual abuse and sexual assault; domestic violence, sexual identity & related issues; LGBTQIA issues; anxiety & depression; motivation & purpose; health & well being; spirituality.
