What’s Next
Through my work, I like to help people feel understood, confront their joys and pains, and be motivated to change. All this gives me energy when I wake up in the morning. It is what gets me out of bed in the morning!
I don't think we ever reach the end of understanding what it means to be human. There will always be another story, another perspective and something new to learn.
Growing older doesn't frighten me, having an old mindset does! So, as long as my mind remains curious and I can continue to connect meaningfully with another people, I intend to keep doing the work I love until my last breath!
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
An introduction
The stories of survival and rebuilding belonged to my ancestors long before I had the language to understand this, yet their echoes inevitably became part of the landscape in which my own identity was formed.
I grew up in England and carried a portable sense of home, stitched together from the patchwork of cultures where I had lived. I realised every place we live, leaves a psychological imprint and that belonging isn’t just about geography; it’s about recognition. These become cultural layers of our own identity.
My curiosity shifted from asking, “what happened?” to “what happens next?” How does someone rebuild when life has changed beyond recognition? How do we carry experiences that may have been lost, silenced, or overshadowed, without allowing them to become our entire identity?
Behind closed doors I witnessed that resilience is not about being untouched by adversity, where we are forcing to “move on”. Sometimes resilience is much quieter. It is the gradual process of finding our footing again, understanding ourselves with greater compassion, and discovering that there can still be life beyond the chapters we never chose for ourselves.
I witnessed that people can carry vulnerability and extraordinary strength simultaneously. That pain and hope can exist alongside one another, and that even after significant loss, trauma, or change, it is possible to rediscover meaning, foster connection, and cultivate a renewed sense of belonging. Today, this understanding forms the foundation of both who I am, and how I work with others.
I feel privileged to sit alongside people as they begin to understand their own stories, reconnect with themselves and discover that what happened to them may be part of their story, but it does not have to be the end of it. And perhaps, in helping others make sense of where they have come from and where they want to go next, I am also honouring the stories of those who came before us.
Why I do what I do
My therapeutic journey began as a voluntary bereavement advisor with Cruse Bereavement Care, where I stepped into the homes of people who had experienced a bereavement, whether through natural causes or fatality. From meeting my first client in 2013, I knew I had found a path which would change the entire trajectory, and I have never looked back since.
For the past seven years, my clinical work has encompassed one-to-one and group therapeutic support. I have also worked with a national charity supporting families and parents bereaved by road deaths, which included facilitating an eight-week “building resilience” programme.
In recent years, I have worked within a higher education offering trauma-informed support, and have also provided critical incident support to families attending a public hearing.
In my work, I encounter the full spectrum of human experience. I see despair and hope, connection, violence, loneliness, tenderness and contempt. I meet people who feel trapped in deeply ingrained patterns and people who feel profoundly alone, sometimes even in the presence of the person closest to them. But I also have the privilege of watching people begin to understand themselves differently.
Meet Baljit
As a child, I was drawn to people and their stories. I was captivated by the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for growth in the face of adversity. This fascination sparked a lifelong journey of learning and discovery, ultimately leading me to pursue a career as a therapist.
Where the story begins
Trauma was woven into the fabric of my family history, long before I had the language to understand it.
Born in India, both my parents Amar Singh Kamal and Barkha Rani, survived the Partition of India. Their lives were shaped by displacement, uncertainty and the experience of having survival imprinted in their existence.
Years later, they would leave again. Only this time to be further away in a foreign country in completely unfamiliar territory; in England.
Embracing opportunity and possibility, they carried with them a determination to make something meaningful from the life that remained. It was almost as though surviving had given them a second invitation to life, and they intended to accept it wholeheartedly.
Their story revealed how migration often encompasses both grief and hope simultaneously: the sorrow of leaving one life behind and the aspiration of creating another. That trauma can extend across generations, but so too can resilience. Perhaps that is one of the greatest inheritances anyone can receive.

Anxiety treatment
“I want to express my gratitude for the service you have provided which has been consistently excellent, warm and kind and reassuring. In the early sessions, I remember always feeling lighter at the end, like a warm breeze had blown over me and I could breathe. It was actually a feeling I later understood as kindness”

Couples Guidance
“Baljit was a very positive influence on me. She helped me in accepting my situation and feelings, was a really good listener and showed patience throughout my sessions. Her outlook was non-judgemental towards me, and she made me very comfortable during our sessions.
It was because of her that I took my first step towards resolving issues in my marriage and discuss them and I’m glad I did that which improved not just our relationship but also gave a sense of perspective.
Big thank you for that and for being very patient with me. I’m indebted and I really am glad that I got in touch with you”

Grief Support
“I really enjoyed working with Baljit over the six counselling sessions. When I attended the first session, I was attending my father’s funeral the following week. This first session prepared me for the days leading up to the funeral and the days thereafter. I found the inner strength to get through this difficult time. I found the exercises useful and will continue to revisit them going forward. My most favourite exercises were the (i)self care exercise and (ii)boundary. Overall it was a valuable experience”

Stress management
“Baljit exceeded my expectations, gave me tasks to complete and listened with patience, empathy and care. This contributed to turning my mindset around from being totally psychological exhausted and stressed, to focused, positive, confident and in a very different place. All the tasks helped me to come to my final conclusion for a way forward I feel happy with. Baljit was amazing, thank you so much”.

Stress management
“I accessed eight sessions with Baljit through my Employee Assistance Programme to address the impact of work stress on my mental health. I write this review many months after completing the sessions – what we did in that time still positively impacts me today!
Baljit does an excellent job framing the overall process of the series of sessions as well as each session. She is warm, non-judgmental, and provided both valuable education as well as resources to explore.The activities I did between sessions helped me as much as our work in sessions – some I still re-do now. Similarly, through our sessions we explored different ways to manage stress – I tried several new methods and the ones that I responded to best I still do regularly”

Life Transition
“The counselling service Baljit provides is consistently excellent, warm, kind and reassuring. I found each one of our sessions helpful and am grateful for the way they opened up space for me to speak and be heard, while at the same time introducing me to practical steps I could take to better handle the specific issues I was facing at work.
Baljit listened with care and sensitivity; paid attention to the complexities of how I was feeling and helped me to recognise and understand more fully what I was feeling and why.
I have been very lucky to benefit from Baljit’s expertise and abilities as a therapist; I cannot recommend her service enough”.

Solution Focused Therapy
“Baljit is an excellent, solution focussed counsellor who listens to and supports you by providing activities and suggestions to work through your negative experiences, behaviours, feelings and emotions.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
“Baljit is an excellent counsellor and I will give her a 5 star rating.
Baljit really made me feel like she genuinely wanted to help me and cared as each session was so engaging, informative and connected really well, with what I was experiencing.
The sessions were tailor made to my objectives and this really has enabled me to use the tools I have learnt to not only help me with the problems I was experiencing in the present, but also for the future. I now feel well equipped and able to deal with situations by using the knowledge and skills Baljit has provided me with and I am so grateful”
