Vin Pachu, BACP

Vin Pachu is an integrative counsellor who combines clinical training with extensive voluntary work in the UK charity sector. He has supported people affected by homelessness, the refugee system, and healthcare inequalities, and he currently volunteers with an addiction harm reduction organisation where he supports individuals on their recovery journeys.

Alongside counselling, Vin has spent many years helping individuals and businesses navigate change. He holds certificates in Coaching and has undertaken further training in somatic attachment, trauma, eating disorders, compassionate practice, and adverse childhood experiences. He is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Vin blends psychodynamic and person-centred approaches to create a grounded, nonjudgmental space for exploration. He focuses on understanding patterns that arise from early relationships while also centring the client's present experience and strengths. He believes in each person's capacity for growth and works to support and empower people as they take steps toward healing and meaningful change.

His practice addresses addictions, self esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes, and he offers coaching support. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, body image, control issues, eating and food-related concerns, guilt and shame, men's issues, mood disorders, multicultural concerns, post-traumatic stress, process addiction, self-love, and workplace issues.
