Ingried Upingasana, BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP #404789

I’m a UK-certified Integrative Counsellor with a Bachelor’s degree in Counselling and Coaching, and a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology. I bring 5 years of experience to my practice.

My mission is to gently support you in navigating life’s challenges, rediscovering your strengths, and moving toward a version of life that feels more aligned, peaceful, and fulfilling. I believe healing becomes possible when we are met with warmth, understanding, and the right tools to grow.

My approach is holistic, compassionate, trauma-informed, and faith-sensitive. I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, low mood, grief, identity struggles, self-esteem issues, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I also support those exploring their relationship with God and faith, offering space for spiritual reflection in a way that feels meaningful to you.

A key part of my work is helping you cultivate Positive Psychological Capital, hope, self-belief, resilience, and optimism, so you feel better equipped to face life’s ups and downs with gentleness and strength.

Together, we’ll draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, including CBT, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centred support, and Positive Psychology practices like gratitude, acts of kindness, and meaning-making.

I warmly welcome and affirm people from all backgrounds, including those from LGBTQ+ communities. I offer a nurturing space where you can simply be, without pressure or judgement.
