Hello, I am Pauline and welcome to Tumaini Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Tumaini means hope in Swahili. Nelson Mandela’s quote reflects a personal commitment to meet you where you are at, and journey with you, to find your personal sense of hope and well being.

Discover How I Can Help You
​
As an integrative therapist, I embrace the inherent value of you as a person. My practice therefore response to you as a holistic being on an emotional, behavioural, physiological and spiritual level. These interconnected parts are explored in the context of intrapersonal, interpersonal, social and cultural aspects of the self.
​
Theoretically, integrative psychotherapy
takes into account a spectrum of human development, I therefore use an approach that is relevant to your need on your journey to self-discovery. the way that I will engage with you includes: psychodynamic, client-centred, cognitive, parts therapy, narrative, cultural and systemic modalities.
​
​
Central to my approach is the individual within the context of their own culture, I am therefore able to work with a diverse range of individual beliefs systems. I work in a sensitive way to help you navigate your own lived experience to achieve personal therapeutic goals.
​
I am committed to working in an ethical and non-judgemental way that incorporates key principles of the British Association of Counselling Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework, which fundamentally emphasises non-discriminatory practice, and respect for your autonomy.
