Shushanik Gasparyan, BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP #396513

Hi, I'm Shushan, a BACP-registered Humanistic Integrative Counsellor. As someone who has lived and worked across different cultures for many years, I have a deep appreciation for diversity, identity, and the different ways people experience life, relationships, and emotional struggles. My background includes working internationally with organisations such as UNICEF and Save the Children, supporting individuals and families through challenging and often complex circumstances. These experiences shaped my understanding of resilience, trauma, human connection, and the importance of feeling emotionally safe. Alongside my professional life, I am also a mother to two girls, which has deepened my understanding of the pressures, transitions, and emotional demands many people carry in everyday life. I understand how easy it can be to lose yourself while trying to care for others, manage expectations, or navigate change. As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, drawing from different therapeutic approaches to meet you as an individual rather than fitting you into one model. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationships, self-esteem, trauma, anger, or life changes, I will work alongside you at your own pace with empathy, honesty, and care. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My way of working is warm, compassionate, and human. I aim to create a space where you can bring all parts of yourself without fear of judgement.
