MEET ROZANNA, LLM, Dip. Couns.

I'm Rozanna Niazi, a professionally qualified psychotherapist offering face to face, online and telephone counselling. I take a person-centred integrative approach, which means I tailor the therapy to suit you. I can help you to understand your feelings, accompany you as you learn to behave more authentically and deliberately, exploring your needs and strengths and accepting yourself as valuable and worthy. I can teach you skills to manage your emotions and relationships more effectively, to help you live a richer life.

Now retired from legal practice, I was a solicitor and founding partner in the Legal 500 firm, Burke Niazi (burkeniazi.com), set up by me in 1997. My specialisms were in mental health, relationship breakdown and child protection. With my expertise and compassion, I supported clients through separation and divorce, care proceedings and adoptions. I was a respected authority in mental health law, facilitating better treatment for acutely ill people, often detained in hospital under the Mental Health Act.

Despite career success, I became disenchanted with corporate life in the City. I retired from law to seek a change of direction and to travel, adventure and live abroad. When it came to re-imagining my career path, training as a psychotherapist seemed a natural progression, given my love of working with people and my years of experience of family and mental health problems.

​

Combined, I have over thirty years’ experience in business management, law and counselling. I thrive on helping people question their assumptions, beliefs and values and guiding them through life crises, dilemmas and transitions towards a more meaningful life. I have a particular interest in Autism Spectrum Disorders and working with people from the LGBTQ+ community. My know-how means I am a competent parenting and relationship coach.
