Balwinder Gill

Therapist

I am committed to helping support individuals to achieve emotional and psychological wellbeing. Over the years I have worked with adults, children and families and within organisations such as schools, charities and private organisations.

About

My experience and work with individuals started earlier on in life. Through my own personal experience with self and others, I have wanted to understand the importance of seeking connection with others. Having spent most of my life in two different continents, understanding self and relationship with others, the impact it had on my life is important. Being an ethnic minority and trying to understand belonging and connectedness, the impact it had on my emotional and psychological wellbeing has spurred me to study and work in this field. I found it necessary to understand individuals, my work also needed to be across spectrum with various age groups, and different communities such as schools, charities, community groups and both private and statutory organisations. I also offer appointments in Hindi and Punjabi.
