Service You Can Choose
Low Self-Esteem
We all criticise ourselves from time to time, but if you often think badly about yourself or judge yourself negatively, you may have low self-esteem. You may not know the cause of your low self-esteem, but I can help you to improve.
Self Blame/Guilt
A particularly distressing side effect of shame, self-blame, and guilt is that it is emotionally draining and exhausting, undermining our sense of self-worth and competency. I can help you in learning ways of challenging them.
Anxiety And Depression
Anxiety and Depression can be both very overwhelming and very difficult to control getting in the way of living normally. I can help you gradually relieve yourself from the continuous pain.
Do you look as though you're coping, but inside you feel shattered?
You may carry on with life as usual, but inside you’re exhausted by the constant battle with your own thoughts. You may have become very good at hiding how you really feel from everyone around you.
Inside, though, it feels very different.
Perhaps your mind never seems to give you a break.
That inner critical voice watches everything you do and every word you say, judging you and making you question yourself.
It might tell you:
“You’ll never get it right.”
“Everyone else is doing better than you.”
“You’re a failure.”
“You’re too much.”
“You’re not enough.”
“If people really knew you, they’d reject you.”
“You should be coping better.”
“Stop being so sensitive.”
“You’re asking for too much.”
Living with a voice like this can leave you feeling anxious, low, hopeless, helpless and trapped within yourself.
Inside, you just feel… shattered.
If any of this feels familiar, I’m really glad you’ve found me.
Do you feel overwhelmed by negative thoughts, difficult emotions, or low self-esteem? Are you stuck in relationships or situations that leave you feeling lost or disconnected?
Nothing is more exhausting than battling with overwhelming feelings every day and not knowing what to do with them.
With over 15 years of experience in NHS and private practice, I’ve been supporting people to overcome challenges and move forward. If things feel tough right now, feel free to reach out.
WHO IS THIS FOR:
You may be experiencing:
- Anxiety, depression, or persistent negative thinking
- Feeling stuck in your job or relationships
- Difficulty setting boundaries or people pleasing habits
- Low self-esteem, disconnection and emotional overwhelm
You don't have to keep battling on your own
One of the things people often tell me is that they’re tired.
Tired of pretending they’re okay.
Tired of being hard on themselves.
Tired of feeling as though they’re carrying everything on their own.
You don’t have to arrive knowing exactly why you feel the way you do, and you don’t need to have all the answers before we begin.
Together, we’ll gently look beneath what’s happening today.
We’ll begin to make sense of where these painful feelings may have come from, why that inner critical voice has become so powerful and why it can feel so difficult to believe that you are enough.
This isn’t about blaming anyone.
It’s about understanding your experiences so that they no longer have quite the same hold over you.
When we begin to understand where these feelings come from, things often start to make much more sense.
Hello, I'm Gita
I’ve been working as a psychotherapist in both the NHS and private practice for 15 years.
Over those years, I’ve seen how much can begin to change when someone feels able to give therapy the time and space it needs.
I also know this through my own experience of therapy.
I’m a psychodynamic psychotherapist, but what matters most isn’t the name of the therapy I offer. It’s the relationship we build together.
My role isn’t to tell you what to do or offer quick solutions.
Instead, we’ll work together to understand what’s happening beneath the surface. We’ll explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion, helping you make sense of thoughts and feelings that may have felt confusing or overwhelming for a very long time.
Therapy can help you understand yourself differently
People often arrive believing they will always feel this way.
But little by little, things can begin to shift.
That harsh inner voice may start to lose some of its power.
You may begin to understand yourself instead of constantly judging yourself.
You may feel less pressure to hide who you are or keep everything inside.
Life can begin to feel calmer.
Relationships may become easier.
You may find yourself speaking up more, setting healthier boundaries and feeling more connected to yourself.
Looking after your emotional wellbeing isn’t self-indulgent.
When you’ve spent years living with low self-esteem or harsh self-criticism, it can affect every part of your life — your relationships, your confidence, your work, your physical wellbeing and the way you see yourself.
If only you knew how different life could feel when you allow yourself the time and space to understand yourself more deeply.
A therapeutic relationship built on trust
I know that contacting a therapist can feel like a huge step.
Trust doesn’t happen overnight, and I don’t expect it to.
My hope is that together we can build a relationship where you no longer feel you have to wear a mask or pretend everything is okay.
A relationship where you can talk openly.
Where we can explore what lies underneath your struggles.
Where you can begin to feel understood, accepted and more fully yourself.
Shall we talk?
If something you’ve read here has resonated with you, I’d be very happy to hear from you.
Whether you’re ready to arrange your first appointment or simply have a few questions, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
Together, we can talk about what’s been happening for you and whether working together feels like the right next step.
