Simi Valecha Johnson Picture

Hi, I’m Simi

I'm a UK-trained Integrative Arts Psychotherapist, certified Yoga Teacher and Trauma Informed Climate Aware therapist. I grew up between three cultures and know what it’s like to live between worlds culturally, emotionally, and globally.

I understand the beautiful complexity and also the deep disorientation that can come from not fully belonging anywhere. When someone asks the simple question, “So, where are you from?” for some of us, that’s not such a straight forward answer.

I work with people navigating difficult feelings like anxiety, identity, burnout, grief, and life transitions. People who would like help to do meaningful inner work, whether that’s through therapy, body-based practices, or conversations about climate distress and living in alignment with your values.

These are strange and challenging times we are living in, and it may often feel hard to cultivate steadiness within, when the world around you feels uncertain or overwhelming. 

My approach is warm, grounded, straight talking, trauma-informed and collaborative. I hope to bring together relational depth work, creativity, somatic awareness, and compassion to help you work through whatever is bringing you to this point in your journey.

If you’re navigating something hard, identity questions, emotional overwhelm, the weight of climate distress, or simply don’t know where to start, this space is for you.
