About me

Vannakum and Welcome!

I am Umaa Thampu MBACP (Accred), an experienced Gestalt therapist, author, educator, and group facilitator. I offer private therapy for individuals and couples, facilitate groups, and deliver presentations.

Since 2012, I have worked in diverse professional settings, dedicated to enhancing well-being, fostering connection, and cultivating meaning. I provide a space to explore creativity and connect with your internal wisdom, strengthening the mind-body connection and addressing barriers to personal growth. My approach integrates Gestalt concepts, anti-oppressive practices, neurodiversity, and trauma-informed approach.

In addition to therapy, I conduct seminars for organisations and therapeutic spaces, including topics from my chapter, "The Power of A Name," featured in the BAATN Anthology, Therapy in Colour (April 2023).

I am committed to creating inclusive spaces for healing and growth, emphasising understanding, collaboration, and respect for diverse experiences.

As part of my professional practice, I adhere to the BACP Code of Ethics, and am currently a member of BAATN and engage in regular supervision, and personal development.

Whether you're seeking personal growth, navigating relationship challenges, or exploring group dynamics, I am here to support your journey.
