Our journey through life can be rough at times, and when that happens it’s healthy to get a little support. It can be overwhelming to do everything alone, so taking a moment to express ourselves to a professional and empathetic CBT therapist can make a great difference in our lives. My effectiveness as a therapist stems from empathetic listening, genuine compassion, and a non-judgemental attitude. The ability to establish a trusting therapeutic alliance creates a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions.

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.

I have over 20 years of experience of working in the NHS. While the people I work with have been labelled with the whole range of diagnoses used in adult mental health services, I largely understand these difficulties as consequences of and attempts to survive traumatic experiences.
I work with individual needs drawing on different approaches, to allow us to make sense of your experiences, process emotions in relation to these and create new narratives. I aim to develop a collaborative relationship through setting goals, eliciting feedback throughout and respecting and validating your experience of your inner world and life.
