Malancha Ray, Master of Counselling

I came to this work through experiencing my own life, not just through training. I grew up with selective mutism, became a chronic people-pleaser through adolescence and adulthood, and spent two decades in corporate and organisational settings learning how to read the emotional stories beneath people's professional performances. I have personally navigated migration, grief, career reinvention, and motherhood without a village around me. That combination of lived experience and clinical training means I understand both the external pressures my clients face and the internal patterns driving them which is why my clients who put their trust in me perhaps feel truly understood from the very first session.
