About me
You might be finding your way here because something doesn’t quite feel right.
On the surface, you may be managing (showing up for work, relationships, and responsibilities), but internally things can feel overwhelming, unclear, or disconnected. You might notice patterns you can’t quite shift, or a sense that you’ve lost touch with yourself in some way.
Therapy offers a space to pause and begin making sense of that.
About me and My Practice:
I’m Vidushi Gupta, an integrative counsellor offering face-to-face therapy in North London and online sessions across the UK.
I was born and raised in New York to South Asian immigrant parents, and moved to London in 2018. That experience of change and transition continues to shape how I work, particularly in understanding questions of identity, belonging, and what it means to feel at home within yourself.
My approach integrates humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives. In practice, this means we may explore both your present experiences and the deeper patterns that shape them (gently building awareness, understanding, and the possibility for change).
At times, our work may focus on current challenges such as anxiety, overwhelm, or relationship difficulties. At others, we might explore earlier experiences and how they continue to influence how you feel, relate, and cope today.
I aim to offer a space that feels steady, thoughtful, and real, where you don’t need to have everything figured out.
As a therapist with a background shaped by multiple cultures, I understand some of the complexities of navigating cultural expectations, intergenerational dynamics, and the tension between individuality and belonging. There is space here to approach these experiences with care and intention, allowing for reflection and understanding to unfold over time.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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
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.

Further information
My Approach:
I see therapy as more than simply resolving problems. It can be a space to better understand yourself (how you feel, relate, and make sense of your experiences) and to begin reconnecting with parts of yourself that may feel distant or unclear.
Change is rarely straightforward. There are times when life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or difficult to make sense of, and having a space to pause and reflect can make a meaningful difference.
In our work together, I offer a steady and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. This might involve making sense of past and present difficulties, noticing patterns that feel hard to shift, and developing a deeper sense of self-awareness and acceptance over time.
Starting Therapy:
Beginning therapy can bring up uncertainty, and that’s completely understandable.
I offer a free 10-minute phone or online consultation so you can get a sense of how I work and ask any questions before deciding whether to move forward.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. If something in you feels ready for things to be different, or even just curious about the possibility of change, you’re welcome to get in touch. I look forward to hearing your story.
