Reclaim Your Life

Counselling, Psychotherapy, Corporate Mental Health & Specialist Wellbeing Services

My name is Raggi, and I am a Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and BACP Registered Member based in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, offering sessions both in person and online throughout the UK.

Life can present challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, burnout, relationship difficulties, or significant life changes, therapy can provide a safe and confidential space to explore your experiences and work towards meaningful and lasting change.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent many years running a successful recruitment business. This experience gave me a unique understanding of workplace pressures, leadership responsibilities, organisational culture, and the impact stress can have on both professional performance and personal wellbeing.

Today, I combine clinical training with real-world business experience to support individuals, couples, groups, and organisations in improving emotional wellbeing, resilience, and self-understanding.

Sessions are available:

In person
Online via secure video call
By telephone where appropriate

My Approach

As an integrative psychotherapist, I recognise that every person is unique and that there is no single approach that works for everyone. My role is to provide a supportive, non-judgemental environment where we can explore the challenges you are facing and develop an approach that is tailored specifically to your needs.

Depending on your circumstances, our work may draw upon:

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)
Hypnotherapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Coaching
Breathwork
Mindfulness-based approaches

Together, we will work towards greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and lasting positive change. For more information about my professional background and qualifications, please visit the About Me page.
