Meet Bhav
Hypnotherapist · Psychology background · Trainee Psychotherapist
Hello, I'm Bhav, and welcome to The Līlā Room.
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step. You don't need to arrive with everything figured out — just a willingness to begin exploring what's brought you here.
I don't believe you're something to be fixed.
I believe we all have an innate capacity to heal, grow and reconnect with ourselves when we're given the space to slow down, feel and explore what lies beneath the surface.
A little about my work
The Person
My approach is person-centred, collaborative and curious. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — your experiences, relationships, culture and the stories you carry all shape how you experience the world.
The Practitioner
My background brings together psychology, psychological wellbeing, hypnotherapy and ongoing training in integrative psychotherapy. I continue to develop my practice through professional training, clinical supervision and reflective practice.

Why The Līlā Room?
I was drawn to the idea that we don't always get to choose what happens to us, but we can become more curious about how we experience it, what it means to us and where we want to go from here.
The Līlā Room is a space for that exploration.
A place to pause, understand yourself more deeply and make room for whatever comes next.
Explore. Unfold. Become.
Culture, identity & belonging
I'm of Indian heritage and was born and raised in the UK, so I know that identity isn't always straightforward.
Culture, family and belonging can shape how we understand ourselves, the choices we make and even what we believe we're allowed to want.
Sometimes those influences feel grounding. Sometimes they leave us caught between different expectations, identities or versions of ourselves.
There doesn't always need to be a right answer.
Sometimes it helps simply to have somewhere to explore it.
Beyond the therapy room...
Outside of work, you'll usually find me with a mug of herbal tea, walking somewhere in nature, laughing with the people I love, or getting lost in a conversation that was definitely meant to be much shorter.
I'm endlessly curious about people and the stories they carry.
I'm also dyslexic, which has taught me that life isn't always linear, perfection is overrated and there isn't always one “right” way of doing things.
And I think healing and laughter can exist in the same room.
When you work with me, you'll find...
A place to slow down.
Space to think out loud.
Compassion over criticism.
Curiosity over certainty.
Growth without pressure.
Permission to be exactly as you are.
If something here has resonated, you can book a complimentary 20-minute connection call. There's no pressure to know exactly what you need — we can simply start with a conversation.

Perhaps we'll meet in the room.
