Hi, I’m Seetal
I am an accredited member of the
British Association for Counsellors and
Psychotherapy (BACP).
My Reason
Why Hummingbirds
& Marigolds
I have always been drawn to the symbolism of hummingbirds and marigolds in Aztec tradition. Both are connected to the sun and carry a sense of vibrancy, strength, and renewal. To me, they represent the beauty that can emerge after loss, reminding us that joy, prosperity, and light can return even after times of grief or struggle.
In their presence, I see how nature offers quiet lessons in resilience and balance. The world around us shows that there is always space for peace, harmony, and creativity, even in the midst of change. As an avid gardener and lover of the outdoors, I hope Hummingbirds & Marigolds can reflect that same spirit, offering a place to feel grounded, inspired, and connected to both nature and one another.
My Background
I have 25+ years working with children, young people, and adults. With a background in education, I’ve worked in various UK and international institutions. While studying Psychology, I volunteered as a student counsellor with Nightline, supporting mental health. After years teaching and supporting others, I pursued my passion for mental health, retraining as an Integrative Therapist to blend creativity and compassion in my practice.
During a sabbatical while pursuing a Masters in Special and Inclusive Education, a conversation with an academic reignited my commitment to mental health advocacy. Their openness about personal struggles reminded me that resilience and vulnerability can coexist and highlighted the power of sharing our stories. Since then, I have requalified as an Integrative Therapist and partnered with the charity Mind to support adults and young people. In schools, I continue working with students and educators, gaining firsthand insight into the pressures they face.
At the heart of my work, I hope that Hummingbirds and Marigolds can nurture wellbeing, and that our time together creates a ripple effect of hope and harmony in your life, your loved ones lives and your wider community.
