Simi Valecha Johnson, climate aware therapist and mentor, online therapy and wellbeing support

Hi, I’m Simi

I’m a UK-trained Integrative Arts Psychotherapist, Holistic Health Coach, certified Yoga Teacher, and trauma-informed, hormone-aware practitioner.

Having grown up between three cultures, I understand 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, the answer is not always that straightforward.

I support people through periods of

  • transition

  • uncertainty

  • identity shifts

  • overwhelm

  • emotional change

I work with people navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, emotional overwhelm, changing relationships, questions of identity, and major life transitions.

Whether you are seeking

  • Deeper Therapeutic Support: 1:1 Online Therapy

  • Guidance through a particular chapter in your life: A time-limited coaching experience

  • Practices to help regulate your nervous system: Yoga Nidra and Breathwork

My intention is to offer a space that feels grounded, compassionate, and genuinely supportive.

My approach is warm, collaborative, straight-talking, and trauma-informed. Drawing from psychotherapy, coaching, somatic awareness, creativity, nervous system regulation, and body-based practices, I aim to help people better understand themselves while also cultivating greater steadiness, self-trust, and alignment in their daily lives.

………….

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. Part of my work is helping people reconnect with themselves amidst all the noise.

If you are navigating something challenging, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, moving through a period of change, or simply unsure where to begin, this space is for you.
