Welcome to Indlela

Indlela (i-ndle-la) Zulu word meaning path, way, journey, resource, direction.

Sawubona and Hello! My name is Ayanda and I’m a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor based in South East London (SE1).

If you’re ready to live from who you are, rather than who you’ve felt you’ve needed to be, you’ve come to the right place.

Does who you thought you should be no longer fit with who you are becoming?

Are you someone who looks to be holding things together on the outside, but internally feels a bit exhausted, disconnected, or not quite like yourself anymore?

Or are you already doing a lot of reflecting, but feel stuck and need some space to think things through more clearly?

If a life aligned with who you are is calling, I can help. I’m a BACP registered integrative counsellor working with adults of colour like you across the UK and Europe.

In my practice, I offer a space to slow things down enough to listen to what your feelings might be pointing towards, with care and curiosity rather than judgement.

I offer two ways of working:

Therapy

My main focus is ongoing counselling – both short and long term – for people who don’t feel quite like themselves anymore. This is for those who have done everything that’s been expected of them but are noticing patterns of anxiety, overwhelm or emotional disconnection.

These are often linked to past or ongoing relational and emotional experiences or identities created long ago that no longer serve who they are becoming.

This is a slower, culturally attuned relational process where we begin by understanding how your current emotional experience has developed, how it is contributing to your wellbeing and what you might need now in order to come back into alignment.

Soundingboard sessions

Alongside therapy, I also offer Soundingboard sessions — one-off reflective spaces for when you feel stuck and want help hearing your own thinking more clearly.

These sessions are for moments when you are already doing a lot of reflection, but feel caught or unclear about your next step.

These are focused 90-minute sessions where I support you to make sense of what is happening in a way that brings clarity and perspective. You will also take your own notes during the session, decide your next steps and how you will support yourself moving forward.

Should you need it, a 30-minute follow-up session is also available within 12 months of the initial session.

‍Currently availability

My longer-term slots are currently full, and I only have availability for short-term (6–12 sessions) work and Soundboarding sessions.

Fees

Therapy

Initial assessment session (75–90 minutes): £120
This session gives us space to understand what’s bringing you here and begin to think about what support might be helpful going forward.

If we decide to work together, ongoing therapy sessions are £80 per 50 minutes.

At the moment, I don’t offer reduced-fee spaces, as I am keeping my fees set in order to sustain my practice and the work I do with clients.

Soundboarding sessions

A 90 minute Soundingboard session costs £120
A 30 minute follow-up session costs £48

If either of these feel like the kind of support you’re looking for, you’re welcome to book a free introductory call to see whether working together feels like a good fit. You can book this below.
