Ingried Upingasana, BACP

Ingried Upingasana is a UK-certified integrative counsellor who combines formal training with five years of clinical experience to support people through life transitions and emotional struggles. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Counselling and Coaching and a master’s in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, and she is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This background informs a practice that balances evidence-based techniques with a strengths-focused outlook.

She aims to gently guide people toward greater alignment, calm, and fulfilment by offering warmth, understanding, and practical tools for change. Her work is trauma-informed, faith-sensitive, and rooted in compassion, helping clients address anxiety, low mood, grief, identity and self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, and trauma. She also supports those who wish to explore spiritual matters alongside psychological work in a way that feels meaningful to them.

Drawing on a variety of approaches such as cognitive behavioural strategies, mindfulness practices, person-centred support, and positive psychology exercises, Ingried helps clients build hope, resilience, and self-belief. She welcomes people from all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ individuals, and creates a nurturing, nonjudgmental space where exploration and growth can unfold at a pace that feels right.
