Gurvinder is a very down to earth person and easy to get on a level with. She is genuinely sympathetic and a great listener, but she's also willing to challenge you, and present new concepts in a way which encourages to tackle your issues head on within the session.

Gurvinder is able to create a safe space to enable discussion. However, she is also enable to challenge long held views even if uncomfortable and encourages me to manage that anxiety.
