Ambika Shekhawat

Professional profile:

I am a qualified individual and couple psychotherapist, offering both short term and long term psychotherapy. I have trained at Tavistock Relationships, a well-reputed institute for psychotherapy and relationship counselling, where I also worked as a Visiting Clinician and Assessor.

Starting therapy can be an exciting yet daunting process. You may have a lot of questions or feel trepidation at the idea of embarking on it. What I hope to provide you with is a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental space where we can begin to explore these anxieties and work towards reducing conflict, fostering curiosity and building self-awareness. I specialise in the psychodynamic model, with the focus on making sense of past experiences and understanding its effect on the present.

The below are some of the areas that I work with:

Difficulty Building Lasting Relationships
Breakdown of Communication
Anxiety, Depression, Grief & Loss
Lack of Intimacy
Pre Marital Counselling
Infertility & Trouble Conceiving
Parenting Difficulties
Affairs & Betrayals
Life Transitions
Separation & Divorce

I also have experience working with couples and individuals from different ethnic communities and welcome clients from cross-cultural, mixed race and immigrant backgrounds.

Format

I offer both onsite and online therapy. Telephone sessions are also available for individuals.
