With 20 years' experience, I am a leading authority in marriage, couple and relationship counselling. I have had the pleasure and privilege of helping countless couples resolve their differences and re-establish an emotional connection. I am passionate about my work and the changes I help to facilitate. When you’re having a relationship or marital problems, it’s natural to want to talk about it. Unfortunately, turning to those around you isn’t always possible or the best option. What you really need is an independent ear — someone who can view your relationship without bias and who won’t take sides.

21st century living is fraught with challenges: emotional, financial, existential. In the UK it is claimed that 1 in 4 adults experience at least one mental health problem in any given year - a staggering statistic. Trying to cope with your distress and despair can feel very isolating and confusing; talking things through, however, can help to make sense of your struggles.
Finding the right counsellor can be a daunting prospect; so many names, so many faces. If you choose to work with me, I hope you'll find that I offer a safe place where you can share and explore your thoughts and feelings in confidence and without judgement.

As an actor/performer for 20 years, I spent the majority of my time looking into what makes people tick. Why do we do what we do and what do we get out of it? These questions are very rarely easy to answer about ourselves and this can lead us to feel life is unfulfilling or lead to a myriad of mental health issues. We can get anxious and depressed from life. I use my experience in understanding others as a way of conceptualising what you want and how you might achieve it. I will never tell you what to do, but I will absolutely stand beside you whilst you build the strength and self-belief to do what you need to for yourself.

My name is Sangeeta Sharma. I am originally from India and have lived in Scotland for sixteen years. Before I began my counselling journey, I was depressed, feeling alone and vulnerable. I understand what it feels like to struggle with life issues. Through counselling I discovered an inner core of strength and sense of self-worth which got me through this difficult time. I now look forwards, not backwards.
I understand the challenges facing ethnic minority communities and the stigma attached to mental health. I offer a safe space, confidentiality and a non-judgemental listening ear.

Sessions are available online or in person in Glasgow Central.
With my own roots in Glasgow, I know how hard it can be to reach out for support, when mental health and wellbeing isn't always talked about or understood. Seeing people struggle in silence inspired me to become a psychotherapist who offers a down-to-earth, non-judgmental space to explore whatever you’re going through. Whether you feel anxious, stuck, or weighed down by past experiences, I’ll meet you with warmth and honesty and together we’ll find a way forward.

Realising you may want a helping hand to navigate a difficult time or explore challenges that are impacting your wellbeing is the first step in your new beginning.

How do I find a therapist near me who is accepting new patients?
Finding a therapist who is actively accepting new patients can feel overwhelming, so it can be helpful to narrow your search down as much as possible. Use the Psychology Today Therapy Directory to search specifically for therapists who are in your area and who are accepting new patients right now, so you are not wasting time reaching out to providers who have a closed waitlist. From there, you can narrow your search further by therapist characteristics, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person or online appointments. Once you find someone who looks like a good fit, you can reach out directly to confirm their availability and request an initial consultation.
How long does it typically take to get an appointment with a therapist?
Wait times for therapists in the UK vary widely depending on whether you go through the NHS or seek private care. Through the NHS, wait times typically range from a few weeks to several months depending on your area and the urgency of your referral. Private therapists are generally available much faster, often within a few days to a couple of weeks. Wait times also differ by therapist type. Counsellors tend to be more widely available than clinical psychologists, who hold a doctoral degree and are fewer in number. In addition, therapists who specialise in trauma, eating disorders, or child and adolescent therapy also tend to have longer wait times due to the limited number of professionals relative to demand.
What are my options if no therapists near me are accepting new patients right now?
If you are having difficulty finding a local therapist with availability, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider expanding your search to include online therapy, not just providers in your immediate geographic location. Online therapy has made it possible to see a licensed therapist in your area without needing to travel, and in many cases online providers have shorter wait times than local in-person practices. Second, your GP can serve as a helpful bridge while you wait. They can conduct an initial evaluation and, in some cases, connect you with local mental health services more quickly than a self-referral would. Third, if your symptoms feel urgent, community mental health services may be available regardless of your ability to pay for private care. They can offer psychiatric assessment, crisis intervention, and medication management to help stabilise your situation in the interim while you wait for a longer-term therapist.
