Malini Shummoogum, BACP

Malini Shummoogum is a UK-based counsellor with 25 years of experience working across a wide range of client groups, including young people, adults, couples and older adults. She has supported people from diverse backgrounds to manage stress and anxiety, address addictions and cope with bullying, relationship difficulties and trauma. Her practice also includes work with low mood, self-esteem and confidence, and she brings a calm, respectful presence to conversations about change and healing.

Committed to sensitivity and compassion, Malini frames therapy as a collaborative journey in which the client’s needs and choices are central. She believes it takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and aims to support and empower each person as they move toward their goals, whether that means personal development, improved wellbeing or better relationships. Malini emphasises that therapy is the client’s time and space and works to create an environment where people feel heard and understood.

Malini holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional training and recognised standards of practice. Her approach combines practical techniques with a client-focused stance to help individuals make meaningful changes in their lives.
