restoring balance
Welcome to Tulā Integrated Wellness
तुल
I am a fully qualified BABCP accredited Psychotherapist, I have worked therapeutically and taught yoga and meditation for 10 years.
I work holistically and compassionately, tailoring support plans to your specific needs. I specialise in CBT and EMDR. I also offer hypnotherapy & yoga sessions. These modalities can be used separately or in some cases can be combined for an integrated approach. Sessions can be face to face or remote.
My Approach
Tulā means balance in Sanskrit, an ancient language from India. In 2015, I embarked on my yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, and later in Mysore, India. I chose to use Sanskrit as I wanted to honour that part of my transformative learning journey. The spiritual teachings of the East focus on the mind, body and spirit and their interrelatedness. I wholeheartedly believe that this is the best way to approach wellbeing. This is where the ‘Integrated Wellness’ part of the name came from. Eastern philosophies encourage us to view the different aspects of ourselves as part of a whole.
Merging Eastern wisdom and knowledge with Western approaches such as CBT and EMDR, is a part of my therapeutic approach. I believe that bearing in mind mental issues and how they affect us somatically is the key to creating an environment for balance and union, subsequently allowing us to thrive and be the best version of ourselves, creating lasting health.
I will often incorporate meditation, movement, breathing and relaxation into my sessions so as to integrate the mind, body, energy connection.
I am committed to working in a person-centred way. Support plans are bespoke and focused on individual needs. My EMDR and CBT training allows me to support people in an evidence based, structured way that enables noticeable progress.
Many of us have faced traumatic and difficult events in life that affect our thought processes and behaviours. These approaches help us to recognises negative patterns that we have developed over time. You will be given the tools to change your behaviours and responses, so that you can leave therapy feeling safe in your own skin and equipped to handle issues effectively when they arise.
Together we will explore what’s affecting your life the most, then we will collaboratively devise a plan on how to best overcome these issues so that you can reach your goals, leaving therapy feeling a sense of contentment, and that balance has been restored.

List of services
CBT Sessions
(12-20 sessions, 50-60 minutes)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can be online or face to face. CBT is an evidence based talking therapy that teaches coping mechanisms for a range of different problems. CBT explores your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to identify what is making you feel bad and keeping the problems in your life going. It is a structured, and active therapy which will require you to work together with the therapist and to do some tasks outside of sessions. CBT focuses on the here and now and encourages you to make positive changes to your behaviour by being mindful of how you think.
Yoga and Mindfulness Sessions
(6 – 12 sessions, 50-60 minutes)
Yoga and mindfulness sessions can be delivered individually or in groups. They can be online or face to face. Yoga is a way of life. Learning to incorporate aspects of this ancient system of practices can massively enhance your wellbeing and life. There are many different facets to yoga for example pranayama which is also known as breathwork, this is one of the ways alongside asana (the physical postures) and dhyana (meditation) in which you can manage different feelings that arise and quiet the mind to find peace within.
Integrative Clinical Hypnotherapy
(5-8 Sessions, 90-120 minutes)
Is a form of psychotherapy that uses methods of hypnosis to therapeutically treat a variety of issues. Guided relaxation is used to go to an altered state of reality (e.g. going into auto pilot when driving a car) in this state you are still in control and safe, but the thinking mind and negative or destructive thinking patterns and beliefs are quietened. In this state negative patterns or core beliefs can be recognised and reprogrammed in your subconscious mind. Suggestions from the therapist will instil newer more helpful beliefs, helping you to overcome any issues that are keeping you feeling stuck.
EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy
(6-12 Sessions, 60-90 minutes)
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy is a gold standard treatment shown by the research to be effective for trauma and PTSD. The eye movements activate the brains natural memory processing mechanisms, allowing the traumatic memories that have overwhelmed the brain and been stored abnormally to be processed. EMDR helps the brain to process the memory in short chunks that aren’t too overwhelming. This allows your brain to desensitise to the memory so that it can be consolidated and stored into longer term memory.
