Ms Ruchika Gupta

Hi, I’m Ruchika, a Counselling Psychologist with over ten years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through different phases of life. People often cometo therapy when they know something doesn’t feel right, but aren’t quite sure how to explain what’s happening. It may be anxiety, overthinking, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, difficulty making decisions, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves. Sometimes there is a specific problem; sometimes there is just a sense of being stuck. You don’t need to have all the answers before you begin. We can start with where you are. My primary approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which helps us understand the relationship between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours and how these patterns influence the way we experience life. Alongside CBT, I draw from DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches, depending on what feels most appropriate for you. I also incorporate creative approaches such as art and music when they can help express or explore experiences that are difficult to put into words. I believe therapy should be a space where you can be honest without having to perform, explain everything perfectly, or worry about being judged. Over the years, I’ve worked with people navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, self-doubt, life transitions, family dynamics, and the many pressures that come with expectations, responsibilities, and choices. Every person brings a different story, and therapy should make room for that individuality. My role is not to tell you how to live your life or make decisions for you. It is to help you understand yourself better, recognise patterns that may be holding you back, and develop healthier and more effective ways of responding to what life brings. My aim is for therapy to give you more than temporary relief—to help you build a stronger understanding of yourself, greater confidence in handling your emotions and relationships, and practical tools that remain useful long after our sessions end.Hi, I’m Ruchika, a Counselling Psychologist with over ten years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through different phases of life.
