You may feel emotionally exhausted from always holding everything together for everyone else. Perhaps you have spent so long meeting the expectations of family, relationships, or culture that you no longer feel fully connected to yourself or what you truly need. You might struggle with guilt, boundaries, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, or feeling torn between different parts of your identity. You do not have to carry this alone.

My ideal clients are individuals or couples who feel emotionally or relationally stuck, unsettled, or caught in painful patterns. They may be dealing with anxiety, shame, trauma, loss, intimacy difficulties, trust ruptures, family conflict, or repeated arguments that no longer feel workable. Often they come at a point of rupture or transition, or simply because something doesn’t feel right. They want greater clarity, emotional freedom, stronger boundaries, deeper understanding, and more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others.

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.

Therapy can feel daunting to open up about the things that are hurting you most and that's exactly why having the right person in your corner matters. I work with both individuals and couples who are ready to try something different.
Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious or overwhelmed, or your relationship has reached a difficult place, you don't have to face it alone. I work with people from all walks of life and have a particular understanding of the pressures that culture, faith, family and identity can place on individuals and relationships — including within South Asian and Muslim communities.

I offer a Professional Counselling and Psychotherapy Service. If you are searching for a Therapist then it is likely that you are feeling some kind of emotional distress, dissatisfaction, emptiness or a lack of purpose. From time to time virtually everyone will experience life events that cause significant distress. These events maybe recent or may have occurred many years ago. Counselling and Psychotherapy are not only helpful for big traumatic life events but can also be beneficial when you are feeling ‘stuck’ or at a ‘cross roads’ point in your life. I work with individuals and offer couples therapy.

Much of my work centres on high-functioning professionals and young adults who may look composed externally but may be carrying complex inner tensions involving chronic self-doubt, internalised shame, emotional distress, or the effects of developmental trauma. I also work with those exploring sexuality, gender roles, and belonging within conservative, cross-cultural, or religious contexts, where parts of the self may have felt difficult to name or unsafe to hold. My approach is relational, collaborative, and deeply compassionate, and may gently incorporate somatic work to support careful processing of trauma stored in the body.

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 aim to develop a collaborative relationship through setting goals, eliciting feedback throughout and respecting and validating your experience of your inner world and life.

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.

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.
