Hi, I’m Bhuvan Briah (she/her)
Prof.Dip Psy C | MNCPS (Accredited)
Trauma-Informed | Neurodiversity-Affirming | Culturally Responsive Psychotherapist

You may be carrying the weight of stories that aren't fully yours — generational wounds, cultural expectations, or the pressure to hold it all together. If you're here, you may feel stuck, unseen, or disconnected from who you really are.
You don't have to untangle it all alone.

Healing is possible — and you deserve it.

I’m a psychotherapist specialising in helping people heal from generational trauma, reconnect with themselves, and build relationships rooted in safety, authenticity, and love.

I work especially well with people who have felt like they had to “translate” their experiences for others — because I’ve been there too. As a British Indian Punjabi woman with ADHD, I know what it’s like to navigate layered identities, cultural duality, and internalised shame. These experiences are central to the work I do — not just theoretically, but personally and with deep empathy.

Who I Work With

My practice is a welcoming space for:

  • LGBTQIA+ folks

  • Neurodivergent clients

  • People in polyamorous, kink-positive, or alternative relationship structures

  • Immigrants, diaspora communities, and those living between cultures

  • Anyone carrying the burden of trauma, self-doubt, or family roles that were never theirs to hold

You are not too much. You are not too late. You’re allowed to take up space, explore your story, and choose a new way forward.

My Approach

I offer a compassionate, collaborative space where all parts of you are welcome.

My training is integrative, which means I adapt therapy to meet you where you are. I draw from:

  • Psychodynamic and Person-Centred Therapy

  • CBT and Hypnotherapy

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Parts Work

  • Somatic and nervous system regulation techniques

Together, we’ll explore your internal world with curiosity and care — noticing patterns, healing shame, softening the inner critic, and building a new relationship with yourself and others. I’ll gently hold you accountable while empowering you to lead the process at a pace that feels right.

This isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have always known how to survive — and now want to thrive.

What it’s like to work with me.

  • The biggest takeaways of working together have been how to self soothe, that I deserve better and should not have to wait for that. Feelings are hard and I need to feel them. Inner part work is great, and understanding my feelings and how some feelings can soothe others in my inner world is extremely beneficial. (I could go on!)

    Client Testimonial

  • Transformational. Very personalised, holistic, flexible, beneficial, effective. Fun. It is really worth a try

    Client Testimonial

  • I came to therapy to try to resolve my relationship problems, lack of confidence, no positive internal voice, lack of boundaries, lack of understanding about myself and my values and after our work together I felt confident enough to apply for my PHD.
