BSc (Hons) Psychotherapist- Therapy for modern life.

About me

Hi, I’m Amita - a qualified psychotherapist. I work with individuals and couples navigating the pressures of modern life.

About you

You might seem like you’re coping day to day going to work, replying to messages, getting things done, going out, meeting friends, posting on socials, acting like everything’s fine, but inside you feel on edge, flat, stuck in your head, or quietly exhausted.

Maybe you’re carrying a lot inside, even when nothing looks obviously wrong from the outside.

Perhaps you’re navigating the everyday challenges that come with millennial life and, for some, the added layer of culture and everything that comes with it, whether as an individual or within a couple.

If this sounds familiar, we can look more closely at what’s really going on, to notice what’s working, what isn’t, and what keeps repeating.

Many of the people I work with are used to holding things together, while feeling caught in the same internal loops.

Therapy gives you a space to make sense of what’s been building up, understand patterns from the past and present, understand yourself and your life a little better, and figure out what you actually need.

What might be going on

You might still be showing up and getting on with life, even while you feel anxious, low in mood, or overwhelmed.
Your mind feels busy, with racing thoughts that are hard to switch off.
You’re tired of overthinking and feeling stressed, and you keep wondering why things don’t feel better yet.
You might be navigating work, relationships, or life changes and feeling weighed down by day to day demands.

If this reflects how you’ve been feeling, it might be that some of the ways you’ve learned to cope aren’t helping in the same way anymore. In therapy, we look at what’s been keeping you stuck, gently untangle what’s going on underneath, and build things you can actually use in everyday life.

The aim of therapy is to help things make more sense, support your growth, and help you move forward feeling more like yourself again.

What we will focus on

Understanding what’s driving your anxiety, overthinking or low mood.
Learning how to quiet racing thoughts and stop second guessing yourself.
Making sense of what keeps pulling you back into the same place.
Building confidence in your decisions.
Navigating career pressure, relationships and life transitions.
Finding more direction about who you are and what you want moving forward.
Developing practical ways to handle everyday life and its challenges.

We will be working with both your challenges and your goals.

My approach

There is not one set way I work. I use different approaches depending on what you need and what feels most helpful for you.

My work is influenced by person - centred, psychodynamic and existential. I also use CBT and ACT for anxiety and overthinking. This helps us explore what really matters to you, while also understanding how past experiences may still be shaping the present.

Alongside reflection and exploration, I’ll also help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body, so things feel clearer and more manageable.

Therapy with me is collaborative. I’m actively involved in our work together, offering reflection, insight and practical ways of working, within a space that feels comfortable, easy to talk in, and allows you to be yourself, even when things feel messy or unclear.

You’ll always leave sessions with something useful to take into your week.

A bit more about me

I’m not the typical therapist. I’ve been on my own therapy journey, including moving through my own mid-20s questions and transitions. Sessions often include honesty, tears, moments of laughter, and speaking freely, all held in a space that feels supportive and easy to be yourself in.

When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll usually find me out walking my dog Miso (yes, I love Japanese food), with a coffee in hand, or listening to a podcast. I value the small, everyday things that help us reset, settle the nervous system, and feel more like ourselves again.

Next steps

If any of this resonates with you and you’d like to enquire about booking a free 15-minute introductory call or an initial session, you’re very welcome to get in touch.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
