Connection doesn't always begin with words.
MBS Counselling and Wellbeing offers a warm, welcoming space to explore what matters to you and reconnect with yourself and others.
Counselling with Reena offers support grounded in presence, curiosity and compassion. I respect your pace, your choices and the ways you feel most able to communicate.
You do not need to arrive with the right words or know exactly where to begin.

Meet Reena and Akhila
Reena- Counsellor and Founder of MBS Counselling and WellbeingÂ

I offer counselling for children aged three and above, teenagers, young people and adults. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Child and Adolescent Counselling and am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My approach is integrative and person-centred. This means I draw on different ways of working while keeping your experiences, needs and choices at the heart of our sessions.
Our work may include talking, play, art, storytelling and other creative approaches, alongside ideas from narrative therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Together, we can explore ways of working that suit your age, interests and how you feel most able to communicate.
I also work with neurodivergent children, young people and adults. I remain curious about each person’s individual experience, including their communication, sensory needs, strengths and the environments around them.
When supporting children and young people, I value working collaboratively with parents, caregivers, schools, GPs, assessors and other professionals involved in their care. Where appropriate, and with agreed consent and clear confidentiality boundaries, this can help build a more connected understanding of the child’s needs and support them across different parts of their life. Their voice and experience remain central to that work.
You do not need to arrive knowing what to say. I offer space to begin where you are, with curiosity, compassion and respect for your pace.
I offer in-person counselling at my practice in Oxford Circus, London, as well as online and telephone sessions. We can discuss which format is appropriate for you or your child.

Meet Akhila — A Companion in the Therapeutic Space

Akhila is a rescued French Bulldog and a much-loved companion within MBS. Having been used for breeding, she was found tied to a lamppost at just two years old. Her story is now part of ours.
Akhila is not a certified therapy dog. She joins the therapeutic environment as a companion, bringing her own character, curiosity and presence.
I have often noticed her responding sensitively to the people around her. Over time, I have witnessed quiet and sometimes profound moments of connection between Akhila and clients—moments I do not wish to explain away or fit neatly into words.
Some experiences can be witnessed and valued without needing to be fully understood.
Being with Akhila is always a choice. You do not need to enjoy being around dogs or interact with her to be welcome at MBS. We can discuss your preferences, allergies, sensory needs or concerns beforehand and agree what feels appropriate for your sessions.
Connection does not always begin with words. Sometimes, it begins with the presence of another living being.
