Hello!
I am Akanksha, a psycho-therapist and life coach with a specialisation in Integrative Counselling, Positive Psychology and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I blend my training in Therapeutic Counseling Studies (CPCAB) and Transformational Life Coaching (ICF) with my love for wellness, sports, art, and music—offering creative ways to express and release big feelings, so you can move forward with more clarity and self-connection.
You can show up just as you are here—no judgment, no pressure. This is a confidential, caring and safe space where you can be real with yourself and with me, and together we nurture that authenticity within and between us.
My Story
Years spent working across fields and often relocating has shaped my perspective through diverse cultures, adaptation, belonging, and the immigrant/expat experience—showing me how roots provide strength and comfort even as we grow and change. My own journey through depression, self-acceptance and transformation built not just resilience, but a deep understanding and practical insight into how challenging it can be to seek support and what real change takes. After training in Therapeutic Counselling, I realised that real progress often needs momentum and action. Transformational Life Coaching gives me a wider toolkit to help you not only heal, but also move forward with purpose and confidence.
As a motorcyclist, scuba diver, swimming coach, board gamer, foodie, sketch artist, photographer, classical singer, belly dancer, plant mom, Kombucha brewer, and aspiring surfer, I’ve seen how movement, creativity, play and social activities can be truly therapeutic. These passions have taught me the value of non-verbal self-expression and the many ways we can reconnect with our true selves— in mind, body, spirit, nature, and community.
My path has never been linear. I’ve learned the hard way to embrace change, find meaning in both new and old interests, and trust myself through life’s uncertainties. That’s why I named my practice Bubbling Brook Counselling and Coaching: it’s about nurturing a resilient spirit that’s in calm and fluid motion, surfacing the churn within, coursing through changing terrain with balance and acceptance, trusting its flow to something greater.
If you’re looking for someone who brings both strength and warmth, and who will meet you with real-world experience and a wide toolkit, I’m here to help you discover your own resilience, creativity, and sense of belonging. Together, we’ll find the small wins and deeper shifts that lead to lasting change.
