I specialise in trauma related stress/ PTSD, EMDR and anxiety based difficulties.
Knowing is different to believing - and you can understand why you feel the way you feel without actually changing the feeling. Life doesn’t always go to plan, and you might feel stuck, lost or overwhelmed. If you're feeling unable to move on from events of the past, struggle with self esteem, confidence, or direction feel out of reach, you’re not alone. I’m here to help you make sense of what you’re feeling, find some calm, and begin moving forward in a way that works for you. If you want a non judgement, engaged space to move with support to move forward then I am here and want to help you.

Anxiety and trauma live in the body as much as the mind — so that's where we work, together.
Therapy for high-achieving women who are tired of holding it all together. Anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism & burnout — worked through with both the mind and the body. You're capable. People rely on you. From the outside, everything looks fine. Inside, you're exhausted from overthinking, saying yes when you mean no, and carrying the weight of grief or change you've never had space to feel. 
I work with Women stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt, even though you're clearly capable
The "strong one" who's never had permission to fall apart
Women navigating burnout, loss, or a life change.

Khushi Bothra
Psychotherapist, MSc, MBACP
I specialise in trauma, including ACEs, anxiety, and self-esteem, and in supporting identity and cultural conflict.
“Crying helps me slow down and obsess over the weight of life’s problems.” It’s a line I often return to because it speaks to something many of us were never taught - that emotions aren’t something to hide or push through, but a way of understanding ourselves better. If this feels too close to home for you, you may be used to carrying a lot quietly. From the outside, you might seem "fine", while inside you feel anxious, disconnected or unsure who you’re allowed to be. Culture, invisible pressures, and past experiences may still shape you. Our work is about creating a space where you no longer have to carry everything on your own.

A very warm welcome. You may be considering some professional support to help you with life's challenges. I know life can be tough at times for a variety of reasons, and we can find ourselves feeling out of control and under pressure, leaving us struggling and feeling lost, not knowing who to turn to for help and support. It may help you to share your thoughts and feelings, and in doing so you will be positioning yourself in the direction of potential growth, healing and change, which can help you manage your challenges and day to day life.

Hi there, welcome to my profile. You might have arrived here with a clear sense of what hurts, or are struggling to understand what is difficult. You may be lost, stuck, or scared. You might be going through an important transition in your life. You may be reading this under some distress and are considering taking the next step to work on that suffering. Perhaps you are experiencing oppressions that leave you feeling marginalised and worn down. You may face difficulties relating to neurodiversity. The above factors (amongst others) may contribute to a sense of feeling out of place, both within yourself and in relationships.
