Kanta Counselling
Kanta Patel FdA MBACP (Accredited)
Counsellor for Kenton, Harrow, Stanmore, Kingsbury, Wembley

I have worked as counsellor for agencies specialising in areas such as: anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, compulsive behaviours, cultural issues, bereavement, eating disorders, childhood trauma, domestic abuse, depression, self harm, managing anger, family issues, relationship between young adults and their parents, long term mental and physical health difficulties.

All my sessions are confidential and have experience in working with clients from a great diversity of backgrounds with many differing needs and requirements while working for Mind, a Women's Centre, the Place2Be (working with children and young people) and other agencies.

You don’t need to deal with your problems alone. Give me a call or email me to find out how I can help you. Make that call. "Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today." Benjamin Franklin

My aim is to create a safe and supportive space for you in which you can talk and explore your feelings, anger, frustration, beliefs and thoughts without anyone judging you or telling you what to do.

I appreciate and understand the difficulty in seeking help in many cultures. I am able to offer Asian counselling, and am also a Gujarati counsellor.

I believe in working together and am a great believer in valuing, respecting and accepting each and every clients regardless of their cultural background.

We find it difficult to trust people. At times, we try to put on a brave face, ignore the problems and simply hope and pray they will disappear.

We tend to feel ashamed or embarrassed to discuss these issues with others, and we may end up suffering even more because of it. These issues can be very sensitive, difficult and stressful, and can also leave us feeling as though we are not worthy and that we are all alone. This can subsequently lead to depression, relationship difficulties, low self esteem, mental instability and the inability to enjoy our lives. See counselling page for more information.

Talking to a counsellor/therapist offers an opportunity for you to:

understand yourself and your situation.

make positive changes.

see things more clearly, perhaps from a different perspective.

make choices and reduce confusion and much more....

Comments from my former clients:

"We really appreciate your support to our child who was struggling with many problems and loss of confidence. Your sessions helped our child to regain confidence and we are so happy to see the smiling face of our child again. We have requested your help when it was affecting the studies and health of our child. You have guided my child to realise the true potential and to decide what is good and what is bad. Also my child is now very confindent to face problems and challenges lying ahead.

Thanks you once again and wish you all succcess. May god bless you to help more people who are in need."


"When I met Kanta I felt a connection right away. We worked together throughout the time I had counselling and I experienced warmth, acceptance and honesty from her that helped me make sense of the things going on around me and I was able to get through difficult times."


"I was suffering from stress and extreme fears of being open to the public as well as meeting new people. I lost my self esteem, confidence to study and perform well. Counselling sessions with Kanta showed me how to tackle my fears and stress. By doing simple exercises such as mind map I was able to identify and gain control of my mind."
