About Shilpa Kurakula

Shilpa Kurakula recognises that choosing a counsellor often brings up practical and emotional questions, such as whether a person will feel understood or judged. She offers a welcoming, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their feelings, gain clarity, and work toward healing.

Life can present challenges that affect mood and stability, including anxiety, low confidence, stress, bereavement, and relationship difficulties. Shilpa helps people make sense of these experiences and the ways they influence day-to-day functioning.

Working as an integrative counsellor, she draws on multiple therapeutic perspectives to investigate the issues a person brings. Sessions focus on understanding what has contributed to a problem, clarifying the preferred outcome, identifying possible options, and deciding which approach is most likely to help. Her work is adapted to suit each individual so the therapy can be as relevant and practical as possible.

Shilpa holds an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and is an MBACP registered member. MBACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?



Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions - online therapy can be comparable to traditional in-person sessions for addressing those issues.

One major advantage is flexibility. Individuals can choose the mode of connection that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility helps make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.

Licensed professionals and therapists offer these options, and it is possible to change therapists if someone feels a different fit would be better. Choosing remote therapy can broaden access to support while allowing people to engage in treatment in ways that feel most comfortable to them.
