"When you do things from the soul you feel a river in you, a joy."

Hello and welcome to my website.
I’m Sarita, a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in the UK. I work remotely and in person (2 London locations), offering time-limited and open-ended therapy depending on your individual needs. I have a broad range of clinical experience working within the NHS, Charitable Organisations, Low-cost Services, and in private practice since 2012.
Sarita Godhania
As an accredited member of the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy); the two main governing bodies for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK, I have attained a high standard of training and continue to demonstrate skilled professional and ethical practice. In order to practice safely and ethically I abide the UKCP and BACP ethical frameworks for therapeutic professionals, ongoingly reflect on my work through regular supervision, and engage in continual professional development (CPD) to maintain the quality of my work.
Having undergone counselling for many years myself I appreciate the complexities and courage involved in embarking on this personal journey, as well as the rewards of transformation and empowerment that can be gained from it.
About Therapy
My orientation is Integrative meaning that I have understandings of an array of therapeutic modalities and techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Mindfulness, Person-Centred Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy.
An Integrative approach embraces the relational dimension between client and therapist, viewing this as the vehicle for change and transformation in the therapeutic work. As a therapist, this means that I will bring my full participation, emotional presence, and genuine self to our encounter, providing a warm, safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment in which you can process difficult thoughts and feelings in our mutually shared space.
As each person is unique, I imbue a flexible style that takes into account: you as an individual, your circumstances and your social world. Informed by your life context, I use the elements of different approaches holistically so that I can help you explore and cope with your problems. Our collaboration would aim to provide more coherent and meaningful understandings of yourself so that you can achieve growth, fulfilment and healing to better serve you in your future.
People seek therapeutic support for different reasons. It may be that you are wanting to address a specific problem, speak about past and present relationships, understand and connect with yourself at a deeper level, are feeling stuck and disappointed, would like to heal from traumatic experiences or are searching for meaning and purpose in your life.
In looking for a therapist, you have already taken the first step! Next, I encourage you to book an initial appointment where we can explore topics such as: what brought you to seek therapy, issues or difficulties that you are encountering, what you hope to achieve from therapy, how you feel therapy might work for you and whether you feel I am the right Therapist for you.
Please feel free to contact me via the contact form, email, or telephone if you would like a free 10-15 minute phone consultation prior to booking an initial appointment. If you decide to continue therapy with me, we would create an outline of your goals for therapy and discuss our contractual terms and conditions.
I offer face-to-face counselling and psychotherapy to adults from my consulting rooms in London, as well as online therapy sessions via Skype and Zoom.
The duration of one session is 50 minutes and we would usually meet once a week either in person or online at an arranged time. I offer open-ended therapy as well as short term therapy depending on your needs; however, we would regularly review your goals and length of therapy and make adaptations collaboratively if necessary.
Sessions are charged at £85. I offer a limited number of concessionary places for low-income clients and students at £70.
I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
You can use the contact form to arrange an initial session or make an enquiry. Alternatively, feel free to call me or leave a message on 07739535177.
I will aim to get back to you within 24 hours and all contact is strictly confidential and uses secure phone and email services.
