Get To Know Kumkum:

  • Why did you choose to become a counsellor?
    I chose to become a counsellor because mental health is important to me and I would like to work in this area helping people with their mental health issues and spreading the awareness and importance of mental health.
  • What excites you about your work as a counsellor?
    The various clients and the issues that I come across, when a client gives me a feedback that the sessions are helping them. Trying to break the stigma associated with counselling - the trust my clients place in me. Being there for my clients. All this excites me
  • What do you hope for your clients to experience after their first session with you?
    I hope my clients can experience a space that is non judgemental and free of criticism. They should feel good that they were able to talk to some one freely.
  • What would you wish to tell a client who is thinking about seeking counselling?
    I would tell the client that counselling is a process and the client should not expect to find all the answers in one session. I speak about my method of counselling, I speak about the confidentiality and tell the client that these sessions would be about them and we will set counselling goals together and revisit goals, explore and become more aware of the self and above all that it is a safe space and anytime the client is feeling the counselling is not working or is uncomfortable about a particular discussion to let me know immediately.
  • Describe the relationship that you would wish to build with your client in counselling.
    Same as above - including not pushing the client to take medication or do things that the client is uncomfortable doing. taking things slowly as per the clients comfort levels.
  • In your counselling work so far, what has been your greatest learning from your clients?
    sometimes clients need to just listen and they want us to empathise with them - sometimes all they need is to accept the situation and find positive copying strategies. Acceptance of self is very important.
  • What are some of your strengths as a counsellor that you value and appreciate?
    I am Empathetic, A good listener, I am open to feedback, Keep communication channels open with my client for times of emergencies, I am able to keep an open non judgmental mindset. I help clients draw their boundaries and respect themselves.
  • What are some of the things you like to do in your free time?
    Read detective novels or watch detective series.
  • What is the therapeutic approach you use? How would you describe it to someone who wants to consult you for therapy?
    My approach is more eclectic. I start with personal centred therapy and weave in CBT and narrative techniques. Self- Awareness and Self Reflections to understand ones own thoughts, feelings, behaviour and how they are influencing the client. Looking at positive affirmations and increasing the self - esteem and self confidence through tools and techniques borrowed from various therapies.
  • How do you make your therapeutic practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx?

    I strive to create a safe therapeutic space where clients can explore their identities freely discussing positive aspects of their identity and challenges they face.

    Empowering the client to handle societal challenges such as misgendering or discrimination, and support them in building resilience against internalized queerphobia/transphobia. Equipping them with tools and techniques to deal with theΒ  trauma. Building their identity and self-acceptance which in turn will lead to higher self confidence. I also encourage clients to self advocate for themselves whenever possible. Encouraging clients to join support groups will also render a sense of safety and support.

    In order to increase my knowledge and practice I reach out to other colleagues for information, read relevant articles and resources and also seek supervision.
