Ms Lila Ramsahai

Registered Counselor

“I am an experienced and well-trained Psychotherapist/Life coach, and my work includes working with culturally diverse and international people. I have been practising since 2006, and my areas of specialisation are relationships, interfaith couples therapy, abuse, emotional intimacy, and sexual intimacy. ”

About me

I offer a warm and non-judgemental space for individuals, couples and families to explore what’s on your mind or bothering you. I specialise in relationships, intercultural and interfaith issues, pre-marital stress, dating, Asian weddings, career, abuse and more since 2006. Sessions are available online or face-to-face, always tailored to your needs.

Approach

My approach is informal, friendly, open, and somewhat structured, depending on your needs. I take an integrative approach, drawing on different therapeutic modalities to help me understand you and the issues you’re dealing with. Clients find my approach approachable and feel comfortable opening up. I believe this helps build trust and rapport, creating a supportive space where we can work together.
