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.

The overall aim of therapy is to support you to explore your difficulties in a safe space and achieve the goals that you identify. My practice is centred on trust, empathy and empowerment.

Starting therapy can seem daunting and scary at first. But it's the first step you have taken to embark on this journey. Feeling isolated and not able to make sense of the world around you? Questioning all that you have grown up with? Racing thoughts constantly clouding your mind? Feeling detached, anxious or upset? Not sure how to process what you are experiencing? All this seems pretty overwhelming but more common than you think. Through acceptance and kindness why not allow yourself to be able to make sense of all this through therapy. Let each session speak for itself and discover different parts of yourself.

Indian Counsellors
What are the advantages of seeing an Indian therapist?
Because mental health care is deeply personal, many individuals of Indian heritage in the UK seek therapists who understand their cultural background. Indian therapists can offer a sense of familiarity and cultural insight that may help clients feel genuinely heard and respected. They are often more attuned to the stigma surrounding mental health in Indian communities and can address related family or societal pressures with empathy and cultural sensitivity. Some may also integrate culturally relevant practices—such as mindfulness or yoga—into therapy. Additionally, Indian therapists may speak languages such as Hindi or Punjabi, which can be especially valuable for clients who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in their native language or who wish to involve family members in therapy.
What specialties do Indian therapists have?
Indian therapists, like other mental health professionals, can have a wide range of specialties, often shaped by their training, cultural expertise, and the needs of their clients. Many focus on cultural identity and the challenges of balancing Indian identity with life in a multicultural environment. Other therapists may specialise in family and relationship dynamics, helping clients navigate intergenerational conflict, marital expectations, and traditional family roles. Some Indian therapists may also use trauma-informed approaches to support clients dealing with issues such as immigration stress, racism or discrimination, and religious or cultural challenges.
How do I find an Indian therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool to help find Indian therapists in the UK. You can filter for providers who identify as Indian or who emphasize cultural competence in their profiles or cite experience with South Asian communities. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance.
