Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious or that life is not worth living? Are your old ways of coping not working for you any more? Are you struggling to understand why you are feeling this way? Speaking to a trained professional, someone who is not already involved in your world takes courage, but can be an effective way to navigate change. Areas of Practice: • Anxiety and depression • Overwhelming emotions • Trauma • Relationship issues • Grief and loss • Stressful life circumstances • Life transitions and adjustments Kobita works with young people and adults aged 16+
Kobita is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with 30 years’ experience working in clinical mental health settings.

Kobita uses a variety of approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy according to your needs.
We believe that respect, trust and safety, within the professional relationship is the foundation on which evidence based therapeutic approaches can be applied to create gradual change. We support clients to identify their needs, guiding them to reconnect compassionately with themselves, yielding greater clarity, personal growth and improved wellbeing.
