Amita Marwaha

Hello, I’m Amita, a BACP  psychotherapist with 17 years’ experience, supporting millennials who feel the pressure to keep up and have life figured out.

My experience and approach to psychotherapy have been recognised through two professional awards: Psychotherapist of the Year and Contemporary Therapy Practice of the Year 2026, West London.

I believe therapy should feel as welcoming and human as it is effective. You can show up as you are, without knowing exactly what to say or where to begin, and we’ll take it from there.

Therapy with me is warm, conversational and real. Together we’ll look at what’s going on and find ways to work through it.

Our work might help you:

• understand what’s driving your anxiety and overthinking
• cope when life feels overwhelming
• set boundaries without being consumed by guilt
• trust yourself and your decisions more
• switch off and make space for life outside work

PSA: Sessions can include honesty, tears, moments of laughter and conversations you haven’t felt able to have anywhere else, all within a supportive and comfortable environment where you can be yourself.

I know what it’s like to sit in the other chair, too

I’ve been on my own therapy journey, including navigating the questions, changes and uncertainty that came with my mid-20s. That experience is part of why I value therapy that feels human and personal, rather than distant or clinical.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me walking my dog Miso (yes, I love Japanese food), coffee in hand, or listening to a podcast.

I value those small, everyday moments that give us a chance to slow down, reset and reconnect with ourselves.

Take a seat and let’s discover how life changes when you understand yourself more clearly.

About you
Do you find yourself asking questions like…

“Why do I always feel anxious?”
“Why can’t I ever just switch off?”
“Why do I overthink everything?”
“Why do I always think something’s going to go wrong?”
“Why do I feel guilty when I say no?”
“Why do I care so much about what everyone thinks?”

On the outside, you’re getting on with life: going to work, replying to messages, getting things done, seeing friends and keep everything moving.

But on the inside, you might feel on edge, flat, stuck in your head or quietly exhausted.

Maybe your mind rarely feels quiet, or you find yourself:

• overthinking conversations and decisions
• struggling to switch off from work
• people-pleasing and finding it difficult to set boundaries
• constantly second-guessing yourself
• feeling guilty for wanting something different
• navigating the challenges that can come with neurodivergence
• being the person everyone relies on while quietly feeling overwhelmed

Perhaps you’re juggling career pressure and responsibilities alongside relationships, marriage, parenthood or another life transition.

You might be navigating dating, trying to settle down, or dealing with the uncertainty that can come with wanting a partner or long-term commitment but not quite being there yet.

There may also be an expectation to become a parent, with the questions and judgement that can come when having children isn’t what you want.

On top of this, the realities of millennial life and, for some, cultural or family expectations can leave you feeling pulled in several directions at once.

As a South Asian therapist, I recognise how these influences can shape identity and the choices you make, with an understanding of the cultural context already there.

When you’re used to holding everything together, it can be difficult to recognise just how much you’ve been carrying.

How therapy can help
Therapy gives us the opportunity to look more closely at what’s really going on, noticing what’s working, what isn’t and what keeps repeating.

Together, we can explore what’s behind the anxiety and overthinking, find ways to cope when things feel overwhelming, and look at how you can set boundaries, trust yourself more and make changes that feel right for you.

My approach – The 4 Layers Method: Understanding and Moving Forward, by Amita

Over the years, I've developed my own way of working called The 4 Layers Method: Understanding and Moving Forward.

It's designed to help you understand what's happening beneath the surface, regulate your mind and body, and move forward with greater clarity.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including trauma-informed therapy, neuroscience, solution-focused therapy, mind-body approaches, CBT and ACT.

Rather than following one set approach, I tailor each session to your individual needs.

Layer 1 – Understanding: Understanding what's going on, including thoughts, patterns, behaviours and responses, supported by psychoeducation to help it become clearer.

Layer 2 – Exploring (present): Exploring your present experience in depth, including what you're feeling, how you're responding and reacting, and what's coming up beneath the surface, while building awareness of these patterns as they happen in the moment.

Layer 2 – Exploring (past): Exploring past experiences and making sense of how they may be shaping how you tend to respond and experience things, without staying stuck in the past.

Layer 3 – Regulating: Emotional regulation through mind-body and nervous system work, helping you recognise how stress and emotions are held physically, regulate your nervous system, and respond differently as things arise.

Layer 4 – Moving forward: Moving forward with practical, evidence-based tools, including CBT, ACT which is rooted in contextual behavioural science and solution-focused therapy, using an action-oriented and goal-focused approach to help with anxiety, overthinking and creating change in a way that carries forward into your everyday life.

We’ll focus on what matters without overwhelming you, exploring what’s happening now while understanding how past and present experiences may be shaping the way you think, feel and respond today.

Our work is collaborative and I’m actively involved, offering reflection, insight and a different perspective while giving you space to talk openly and be yourself, even when things feel messy or unclear.

Our sessions include practical tools, techniques and different ways of responding that you can use in everyday life.

If something here feels familiar, let’s start making sense of it together.

• £90
• Initial consultation session (Charged at the same rate as ongoing sessions.)

The initial consultation gives us space to meet, talk through what’s going on for you, and look at what you’d like support with moving forward.

Cancellation Policy

Sessions cancelled or missed within 48 hours are charged in full. If I can, I’ll offer another session that week.

Feel free to get in touch by email or phone if you’d like to ask a question or enquire about sessions. I aim to respond within 48 hours.

My therapy rooms are easy to access, close to stations, with street parking nearby.
