Welcome to The Therapist And The Chair
Online Counselling & Psychotherapy In London and Nationwide
Making Counselling and Psychotherapy Accessible For Everyone
Welcome, and thank you for visiting.
Welcome – I’m Sukh Thiara
I’m a psychodynamic psychotherapist based in London, offering confidential online counselling to individuals across the UK. I provide a warm, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace without fear of judgement. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure of what’s going on beneath the surface, therapy can help you make sense of things and move toward greater clarity and emotional well-being.
I work with young people, adolescents, and adults, and have supported clients from a wide range of backgrounds with issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, identity, and life transitions. My training and experience have deepened my understanding of the complex mental health needs shaped by culture, community, and personal history. Before qualifying as a psychotherapist, I worked as a mental health practitioner. I went on to complete my psychotherapy training at Goldsmiths, University of London
If you're considering therapy and want to learn more, feel free to get in touch. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Short - Term Therapy
I offer a 12-week introductory therapy program designed for individuals new to therapy. This program focuses on addressing current life challenges, such as relationship breakups, career changes, or grief due to loss. While many clients choose to continue therapy beyond the initial 12 weeks, we’ll revisit this option together as the program progresses and your needs evolve.
Open-ending Therapy
Open-ended psychotherapy offers the space and time to explore deeper emotional patterns, past experiences, and long-standing beliefs that may be influencing your current challenges. Without a predetermined end date, this approach supports meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. Sessions are typically held once or twice a week, depending on your needs and the nature of the work.
Single Session therapy - Help at the point of need
Single Session Therapy (SST) is designed for individuals facing a specific issue and seeking immediate, focused support. Ideal for those who prefer a practical and time-efficient approach, SST aims to help you gain clarity, overcome obstacles, and take meaningful steps forward—often within just one session.
Emotional Wellness Assessment
This one-time session is for individuals who have noticed changes in their mood, behavior, or overall well-being—whether these shifts have been gradual or more sudden. Together, we’ll explore your current concerns and determine the most appropriate next steps, which may include psychotherapy or alternative forms of psychological support.
How can counselling help you?
Life brings many challenges, and it’s completely natural to seek support when facing them. As a counsellor, my role is to offer a safe and supportive space a place where you can reflect, explore, and begin a journey of self-discovery. Together, we can look at your life and the choices within it, helping you move toward greater clarity and meaning.
Counselling offers a chance to explore the difficulties you’re experiencing in a confidential environment, with someone outside of your everyday life. It’s an opportunity to view your situation from new perspectives and perhaps gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
This process isn’t about giving you solutions or advice. Instead, it’s about empowering you to find your own path and make the changes that feel right for you.
