I am a qualified integrative therapist and a member of or registered with BACP. I have over ten years of experience working as an integrative therapist, where I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients with different issues, from PTSD to depression, stress, anxiety, depression anger management, improving self-esteem, and self-confidence when dealing with bereavement or change in life circumstances. Trauma has been refugee/people trafficking, self-development, domestic violence, panic attacks, and transitions.
There are times in our lives when the challenges we experience can seem overwhelming. We may feel stuck, lonely, hopeless, lost or sad. Life can feel very difficult, with no sign of relief or source of support in sight. It is at this point that each of us must find our voice and reach out for therapy. It is those first courageous steps that will enable us to see that nothing is insurmountable and be able to move forward in a positive manner. By addressing the psychological and emotional obstacles that are making life difficult for us, we can begin the process of ‘breaking down’ those barriers until we reach a more fulfilling point in our lives. Counseling can help us by providing a safe, secure, confidential, and impartial space to explore our feelings and behavioural patterns that might be the causes of distress, therefore facilitating healthy and effective ways of making changes in our lives. Remember! No man/woman is an island. We all need someone at some point.
I am here to help you re-establish the balance in your life, enabling you to flourish. By supporting you in restoring and tapping into your inner strength and building up your resilience so that you can face life’s challenges. I will assist you in learning how to make empowering choices and to have control over your feelings, actions, and relationships so that you can achieve positive and hopefully lasting changes. I work in both short- and long-term counselling sessions with people who are seeking help to work through the challenges that are inhibiting their quality of life.
Additional areas of focus:Addictions, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, Codependency, Commitment issues, Communication problems, Control issues, Domestic violence, Family problems, Forgiveness, Immigration issues, Isolation / loneliness, Multicultural concerns, Prejudice and discrimination, Self-love, Young adult issues

I’ve been working with Roda for almost 3 months now and it has been tremendously insightful. Roda has shown her compassion and curiosity for my past experiences, culture background and didn’t make me feel unseen even we came from very different cultures and ethnicities (I’m Asian mixed born and raised in the East). Roda goes more and beyond to understand her client and clients emotions. I’m very happy with my experience with Roda. If you work with her, you are in good hands.

From the first session, I felt that Roda appreciated and understood how complicated my life has been. Speaking to her about things that I have never really said out loud helped me a lot! She immediately understood my objectives and provided me with insights and tools to help me feel less overwhelmed. I highly recommend her as she is very careful, caring, and has been a positive influence on me.

Roda has listened to me with kindness and patience, and has found ways to guide me effectively through my challenges thanks to various types of exercises. She's given me useful tools that I can use by myself to regulate my anxiety. I would highly recommend her.

Roda has really helped me to follow all the threads of my life and to begin processing things. She is an active therapist, who listens intently but also pushes you forward and encourages you at the important moments. She has been a real source of support and guidance.

Roda has been instrumental in my journey to improving my mental health. She has provided me with practical advise, boosted my self confidence and imagine. I feel so much better about myself and I’m able to handle problems much better than I did before. As a people pleaser I have now set boundaries in my life, priorities myself and have been able to say no which was very difficult for me to do. I would recommend Roda as she is an amazing listener, non-judgmental and very compassionate.

Roda is amazing! I’ve used other therapists before but no one quite like her. She helps me put things into perspective and see things differently. Only 4 sessions in and I’ve benefited so much already. Thank you!

Roda is the perfect balance between challenging and supportive - gentle and strong - inquisitive and wise. She is also clearly skilled and knowledgeable which makes you feel safe and relaxed. Her support has been (and continues to be) life changing!

Hi Roda, thanks so much for making me appreciate me and my life again!
Written on Feb 16, 2023 after therapy with Roda for 4 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and anger management
I have had the significant pleasure and benefit of working with Roda over the past several months. I am particularly appreciative of her calm and reasoned manner of both listening to me and offering feedback. Her (usually sound) instincts and insight reflect years of experience and an abiding passion for her job and for serving her clients. Within a relatively short period of time, I have had moments of significant insight and understanding of issues that have affected me for several years. I am appreciative of Roda's patience and empathy - and I would unhesitatingly recommend her to others needing support.
Written on Feb 03, 2023 after therapy with Roda for 6 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, and family conflicts
Roda has been by far the best therapist/ counsellor I have had.
She has created a safe space for me to express all emotions, including anger, which has been integral to my growth.
Our sessions have provided insight into myself and I have a much better understanding of my childhood and the motivations behind my behaviours, feelings and attitudes.
I am also aware of my mentality and feel more empowered to choose the mentality I submit to.
And most importantly I have gained a knowing about myself, I have come back to myself a little more after going through life experiences that I feel have stripped me of that.
I would absolutely recommend Roda.

Written on Mar 16, 2022 after therapy with Roda for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, and career difficulties
I have worked with Roda on a couple of sessions now and each time I have left feeling like I have been heard and understood. The confusion that I experience in my everyday life, clears up after I have had my session and I appreciate the time she takes to understand my issues. She is professional, polite and a great listener. She has responded to me with things that I would never have seen myself and that is for me, what makes a great therapist. I highly recommend Roda and look forward to our next session.
