Rushna Patel, MA, BSc, Dip.

Founding Director at Your Therapy Lounge

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), ensuring that I adhere to the highest standards of professional practice and ethics in my therapeutic work. 

My journey into therapy began over 7 years ago, following a decade-long career in the oil and finance industry. After facing redundancy, I found myself at a crossroads, prompting me to pursue a longstanding interest in the human psyche and the impact of past experiences on our lives.

I work in an integrative manner, offering a holistic approach to therapy that incorporates both psychodynamic and humanistic theoretical styles; through exploring the influence of the unconscious mind and past experiences on present behaviour, alongside emphasising your personal growth and self-actualisation. This method allows me to tailor my approach to each client's unique needs, respecting their individuality and fostering a strong therapeutic relationship. I believe in empowering my clients, helping them to understand, support, and guide themselves through their individual journeys in therapy. By focusing on the unique aspects of each person, I aim to provide a space where clients feel heard, valued, and understood.

I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My goal is to guide you on your path to self-discovery and healing, providing the tools and insights needed to navigate life's challenges.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, cinema trips, engaging in arts and crafts, and dedicating quality time to family and friends.
