About Me

My name is Usha Nursing, and I’m originally from the UK, though I now reside in Mauritius.
​
Having lived in two vastly different countries, I’ve had the unique opportunity to experience diverse cultures firsthand. This sparked my deep interest in understanding human behavior.
​
After completing my Psychology degree, I realized that I wanted to move beyond observing people from an external perspective. I wanted to understand them on a deeper level. This led me to pursue a diploma in counselling, qualifying me as a person-centred counsellor.
​
My goal is to help you live your best life. I aim to empower you by fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and supporting you as you navigate life's challenges. I'm here to walk alongside you and help you discover the most effective ways to manage life’s ups and downs.

Experience
I currently work as an online counsellor.
I have also worked voluntarily, in the past and present, with organisations, that provide low-cost counselling services.
In both of these capacities, I worked alongside clients who came to counselling with various issues, such as workplace stress, work transisitons, relationship issues, addiction, childhood trauma, family issues etc.
Before I became a counsellor, I worked as a support worker. This role required me to care for individuals with various disabilities. My time as a support worker also allowed me to see the world from a completely different perspective.
