Malini Shummoogum, BACP

Malini Shummoogum has practiced counselling across the United Kingdom for more than 25 years, working with a wide range of people from different backgrounds including young people, adults, couples and those who are retired. Over that time she has built experience helping clients address stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, manage bullying, and navigate relationship and trauma-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with low mood, self-esteem concerns and challenges with confidence.

Her approach is grounded in respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she emphasizes the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. Malini is committed to helping individuals clarify goals, pursue personal development, or simply feel better in day-to-day life. Central to her practice is the idea that therapy is the client’s time and space, and she aims to support and empower each person through their own journey.

Malini works with a range of clinical methods, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, mindfulness therapy, solution-focused therapy, trauma-focused therapy and systemic therapy. She holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adherence to its professional standards. Her work reflects many years of direct practice and a focus on practical, compassionate support.
