Our journey through life can be rough at times, and when that happens it’s healthy to get a little support.

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.

Epistemicide is the destruction of navigational maps crafted from ancestral knowledge and personal experience, leaving us disoriented in a world simultaneously familiar and alien. As we confront this erasure, therapy emerges as a dynamic space for deep exploration—an ethnographic study of one's life where agency meets healing justice. Here, our narratives challenge systemic violence while we question frameworks of belonging in a world determined to dictate their terms, meaningful conversation, we navigate our hybrid identities with their contradictory yet authentic stories, transforming discomfort from cultural loss and oppression.
