Meet Dolma, Psychotherapist and Couples Therapist

I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with an MA in Psychosynthesis Psychology awarded by The Institute of Psychosynthesis in affiliation with Middlesex University.

Born and raised in India within the Tibetan diaspora, I grew up in a culture where mindful practice and contemplative traditions were deeply woven into everyday life.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent over twenty years in leadership and directorial roles within the charitable sector, including overseeing a film archive dedicated to preserving Tibetan Buddhist teachings, culture, and heritage through film and video.

My interest in therapy began many years ago through my own experience of being deeply listened to in a safe and non-judgemental space. I saw how therapy could help bring clarity, perspective, and meaningful change, and this inspired me to undertake psychotherapy training myself.

I have had the privilege of training with leading figures in the fields of psychotherapy and trauma, including Janina Fisher and Terry Real, and was among the first therapists in the UK to become certified in both TIST and RLT.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and compassion-based, integrating contemporary neuroscience with depth psychotherapy. Through counselling and psychotherapy, I aim to offer a space where you feel listened to, respected, and supported with warmth, confidence, and without judgement.
