Anu Kotiankar

I found my passion in the field of Mental Health when I joined Samaritans – a suicide prevention helpline six years ago. Since then I have expanded my knowledge in this field. I have a Masters degree and a Diploma in Counselling Psychology. Rational and Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) at Advanced level is another area in which I have advanced my skills. I hold a QPR gatekeeper certification for suicide prevention. I have a preference for the Person Centred approach because I think that everyone has unique qualities and the potential to grow in their skills and abilities. I practice an Eclectic model with stronger emphasis on REBT and mindfulness to cope with irrational thoughts and beliefs we might be holding that might be getting in the way of leading a fulfilling life. I have worked with clients facing anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
