Miss Jani Santos

Counselor

“I am a MBACP multicultural counsellor, trained in Gestalt therapy - with a background in yoga, mindfulness and Eastern philosophy.”

About Me

I offer multicultural Counseling, creating a space where your unique experiences and identity are truly seen. Drawing on Gestalt therapy, we can explore what's happening for you in the present moment. My background in yoga and mindfulness also enriches our work, inviting a holistic approach to well-being. This approach is particularly helpful for those from diverse backgrounds seeking a grounded, holistic path forward.

Approach

Sessions are grounded in your lived identity and present experience, moving between attentive awareness and practical, embodied shifts. Working online or in London, I hold English, Portuguese and Spanish spaces that feel calm and steady. I guide short, focused experiments—body-based noticing, role-play and mindful breath—to help surface patterns shaping mood, behaviour and urges, and to try new responses between meetings. People from diverse backgrounds often find this paced, embodied exploration helps them feel more grounded and able to choose differently.
