Testimonials

"Sukti’s work is characterised by a sincerity of heart, an acute appreciation of our human frailties, and a rare ability to inspire hope and confidence through her steady attention and skilful communication. She straddles a subtle and complex cultural divide that ultimately enriches her work with clients, regardless of their cultural inheritance.

Sukti is highly self-motivated and self directed and works at a psychological depth that, in my opinion many with more advanced paper qualifications struggle to attain."

Eamonn Marshall, Clinical Supervisor

"Sukti is an amazing counsellor. She has been patient, understanding and I was able to talk about things that I have never talked about to anyone ever before. I have lots of friends but no one could understand what I was going through. The way Sukti took on board what I said and explained things to me, everything became so much clearer. Learning how to look at my problems from a different perspective and changing the way I react to distressing situations changed my life. It took time. Counselling is a process. But every week I felt stronger talking to her to deal with my crisis. Realising strength in myself, I was able to be happier with work and family and understand many things that I was not aware of before. I can put my energy in to more positive things in life now because of dealing with the stress. It was a turning point to recognise where my anxieties were coming from. I am no longer constantly tearful and I feel more back on track with life. I have gained more confidence as a result and it was all because of Sukti. Sukti was a light in a dark point in my life. I am now the person I want to be, to achieve goals in life that I want to reach and not that of others by being able to understand myself more and be aware of other choices in my life. Thank you so much."

"Sukti is a counsellor who has years of experience of counselling. She has set up counselling projects, and so has a deeper understanding of carrying out of need assessments. She is highly motivated. She has great interpersonal skills and therefore can relate very well to professionals, clients and volunteers.

Working with Sukti at a leading HIV and Aids charity I witnessed Sukti managing the day-to-day work of her project. This project was NHS funded and set clear targets and delivery requirements. Sukti always exceeded these targets and supplied all monitoring, evaluation and case studies up to CORE standards. She had a large and difficult caseload, which she handled with extreme competency.

Sukti has life experience and great interest in the lives of others, which means she can combine the maturity to work with adults with an ability to relate to young peoples’ needs. She can work with all sorts of problems such as relationship issues, trauma and abuse, sexual health issues, sexuality issues and especially issues of low self-esteem. She understands the family dynamics and is particularly good at working in situations where there is family strife and conflict.

Sukti is an extremely caring, generous and warm-hearted individual. she wants her clients to achieve their personal best but always understands the communities they are part of, and that often being an individual and being in a community are difficult things to balance. She is careful and patient and also can challenge and confront when necessary. If you have Sukti as your counsellor or supervisor you will be in very safe hands."

NB, Client

"I suffered from severe anxiety and depression my whole life. I was blamed for my problems. Nobody understood me. Having counselling with Sukti, I realised that I did not feel loved by my parents, who were extremely strict. As a result I did not love myself and that was the cause of the problem. When I realised the root cause of the problem I started seeing my life from a different perspective. Everything fell into place. Sukti changed my life. Now I am living a happy and fruitful life with my own family. What happened to me is never going to happen to my children."
