Hello, I’m Ikku

I am a qualified Clinical Counsellor with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. My passion lies in helping people create meaningful, lasting change using a warm, client-centered approach that respects your pace and unique story.

I'm here to help you strengthen emotional awareness, express yourself more freely, and develop practical tools to manage life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. Most importantly, I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely supported, understood, and at ease from our very first conversation.

My Therapeutic Approach:

I specialize in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Informed Therapy. These approaches empower you to tap into your strengths, define clear goals, and uncover practical solutions — often within a short timeframe.

What You Can Expect

Whether you're navigating anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, I’m here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can speak freely. Together, we’ll explore what’s working in your life, build on your inner resources, and develop tools to move forward with clarity and confidence.

If you're ready to take a step forward, I’m here to walk alongside you — with compassion, clarity, and a commitment to helping you thrive.
