Purvi Advani
Counselling Psychologist
Welcome.
I’m a counselling psychologist and the founder of Homecoming Psychotherapy. Homecoming Psychotherapy is a space built on the belief that we all carry the longing to return, to a sense of self that feels safe, whole, and known. Whether you're feeling lost, untethered, or simply aching to feel more at home within yourself, I hope this space offers you room to breathe, reflect, and begin again.
Some paths don’t appear until you’re ready to walk them. If something here stirs something in you, a curiosity, a sense of resonance, or even a quiet “maybe", that’s enough. You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to arrive as you are.
My Approach
The therapeutic space I aim to nurture is rooted in care, curiosity, and compassion. My approach is grounded in a humanistic and intersectional lens. I believe each person brings with them a rich and layered story, shaped by personal experiences, cultural contexts, and social histories. I work to honour that complexity by centering your agency and recognising the ways your past and present are deeply intertwined
At the heart of my work lies the foundation of psychodynamic therapy, with a strong emphasis on attachment patterns, relational dynamics, and early life experiences that continue to echo in the present. This kind of therapy is a slow, steady, and relationally driven process that unfolds over time, built on the trust we cultivate together.
I also draw from narrative practices, inviting you to re-author your life in ways that feel more authentic and freeing, so you are no longer defined by old roles, expectations, or labels that no longer serve you.
Alongside this, my training in mindfulness-based interventions and drama and movement therapy allows me to bring in embodied ways of working, where the mind and body are held in tandem.I believe healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It requires a space that feels safe, collaborative, and attuned, where the whole of you is welcome.
Above all, I hold a deep trust in your capacity to grow, heal, and find your way back home to yourself.
