Indrani was very helpful, compassionate and understanding to my problems. She helped me a lot with her advice and techniques that she taught me to change my life to the better. Thank you Indrani for all your help, I hope everyone can reach out to seek help, because every problem has a solution but sometimes we need extra help, that's when we need couseling and coaching.

Depression Counselling

Indrani has truly been my rock during this past year. I have been struggling with a lot of anxiety and depression and she has been so kind, understanding and compassionate to help me through this difficult time, especially with the financial struggles due to COVID-19. I have also grown closer with my faith, and she has guided me in meditation to help me through this difficult time. I am forever so grateful to her. More...

My experience to date with Indrani's counseling has been very positive. She has shown the ability to quickly gain an understanding of core issues and their underlying causes. She is then able to offer practical and effective advice in working towards resolving these issues. Indrani demonstrates empathy and genuine care which makes her easy to talk to, making the whole experience much more comfortable than it otherwise might be, I wholeheartedly recommend EFL Counseling and Coaching.

Counselling

After the first session I knew EFL's Indrani perfectly understood my issues and would be able to work with me to address these.

7 December 2020

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Indrani. She has helped me come a long way in such a short amount of time. She has listened to what I believe I have had issues with and worked through these with me in every session. She has also given me tools which have helped me to form more coherent thoughts, and identify what areas of my life need more attention and which ones to drop entirely. More...

I was sceptical at first about online counselling, Indiana makes you feel like you are right there. I was amazed by the expertise and her kindness. Nothing seems to be a problem for her, I never met a therapist who gives their time to listen to my Story And answer all my questions never pressured me to make an appointment. But I am so glad I did. I recommend Indrani to anyone who's looking for a people expert. genuine, and kind-hearted therapist. More...

Q&As

I love the privilege of providing a safe and caring place to be heard, for those who are hurting or struggling with challenges.

I love seeing people being transformed and becoming unstuck. Absolutely love helping people discover their strengths and being set free from long term trauma. This is my opportunity to give back to the community by integrating my expertise and experiences.

After overcoming emotional trauma I was blessed to find hope again. I conducted support groups for those who struggle. During this period I saw how much genuine care and empathy can change people's lives. I was inspired by seeing the power of being understood, I discovered my passion and purpose to help people, and found myself at Univercity learning how to do what I love the best, helping people find their strengths and hope again.

Because I honour those who put their trust in me, and genuinely care about helping people.

Along with 15 years of experience, I bring expertise, authenticity, reliability and integrity to my services.

Our services are personalised to suit your needs, and you get value for your money.

Flexible appointment times, evening and weekend service for your convenience.


I provide online and remote service via Zoom, Skype or phone at reduced charges. You do not have to download the Zoom app. Simply click on the link we send you.

Our in-person services are now provided at a local medical clinic where COVID safe standards are met. This means the waiting room and counselling room provide 1.5 metre distance separation.

Services

All counselling services are based on clinical psychology and the application of evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy and narrative therapy.
The duration of counselling is dependent on your needs.
During the first session, you get to chose which method and for how long you might need counselling. You may choose to terminate therapy at any time. However, it is recommended that you complete the treatment plan that is developed for you for the best outcome.

This is an integrated counselling approach by using faith-based scriptural principles and evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy.

Scientific methods and communication skills are applied to analyse and understand your problem. The process of counselling is constructed according to your faith without hindering your beliefs (i.e. meditation may apply, but it will be using scriptures that you chose).
I apply the scripture, 'be transformed by renewing of your mind' (Romans 12:2).

Trauma can range from a one off incident which was beyond your coping threshold to something that has been happening over a period of time.
I work with you to discover the neurological, physical and emotional symptoms of the trauma and how it is impacting your life. Therapy involves psycho-education, developing coping skills and nervous system (NS) level healing (through psychological and physical exercises that calms your NS). I help you find support networks that you might need. The care plan will be personalised to suit your needs. If required and with your permission, I may refer you to your GP for medical assessment.

Regardless of what type of relationship it is, the counselling process can be very similar. However, marriage counselling goes beyond simply being able to get along with each other. We work on all dimensions of relationship and get to the roots of the issues. Then we determine what is the maintainer and the causal factor of your problems considering all areas of your life that are impacted by the issues. By focussing on your strengths and having you set goals, we collaboratively develop evidence-based interventions.

Our coaching service is provided for those who believe they are emotionally ready and willing to work towards achieving a goal that they have set, or needing strategies and guidance on reaching their goals.
These may include personal goals, relationship goals and more.
You will be provided with highly recognised methods, strategies and skills to apply. You will be provided regular support and championing you while keeping you accountable.

Child counselling can help children who are distressed and/or suffering from any mental health condition or behavioural issues that are affecting their everyday life. The aim is to help them identify and cope with any issues they are experiencing which their parents have found too difficult to address, or where they simply need additional support and expertise to deal with.
Counselling provides children with a space to talk about their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment and to encourage them to share any worries or problems that they don’t know how to share in a healthy way. Also to help build self-esteem, confidence, to overcome anxiety, to help with building friendships, and to adapt to changes in life. Parents are encouraged to accompany their children under 12. The first session includes parent participation with older children and may continue with lone sessions when parental permission is given. The therapist must hold a 'working with children' blue card.

Drawing from my Human Resource Management experience I develop customised workshops for conflict resolution, team building, change management and individual or group counselling for small businesses.
