About Us
Short Story About Cognisance Counselling.
Hello, it can take tremendous courage to begin counselling. To help, Cognisance Counselling provide a safe, warm, caring, non-judgemental space where you can explore your current life situation.
Cognisance Counselling was created by Radhika Malhotra who is a qualified and experienced Psychosynthesis counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Psychosynthesis is an integrative and transpersonal approach to therapy which views clients as more than the issues they bring to the therapy room. It's an approach which includes the spiritual dimension of life. As a practitioner of Psychosynthesis, I aim to connect clients with their authenticity and what they feel is intrinsically true for them while exploring the issues brought to therapy.
How we work
Empathy, trust, warmth, and understanding are some of my key tenets as an individual and as a counsellor. Without these, counselling cannot be effective.
The aim at Cognisance Counselling is to gently guide clients toward finding their inner truths and authentic selves.
What we Do
Areas we can help clients with
Abuse
Can be of many types: physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, mental amongst others. It can be defined as behaviours one uses to maintain power and control over another. It can be difficult to identify and recover from abusive relationships.

Any feelings of unease, worry, or fear that can be mild to severe.
Suicidal Ideations
A term used to describe any thoughts, wishes, contemplations about death and suicide.

Pregnancy and Postpartum
Areas surrounding pregnancy, pregnancy, and being postpartum can be riddled with various experiences. Most of these experiences can be difficult to share with friends or family thus creating a sense of alienation.

This is a form of self-care where one determines their limits and communicates them to others by words and/or actions.
