Hi, I’m Lakhita. I hope to provide an open, compassionate, and non-judgemental therapeutic space for you to be able to process, understand and make sense of your experiences. Working together, I aim to see the world through your eyes, always holding in mind parts of your identity that you choose to bring with you, such as your race, culture, gender, and religion. I work in a very humanistic and person-centred way, considering your needs and tailoring evidenced-based therapy to provide you with the skills and tools to support you moving forward with life, and for you to live the most fulfilling version of it.

Are you looking to show up authentically in your life, understand yourself on a deeper level, or move from shame to acceptance? Even if you're unsure, that's okay. Starting therapy is a big step and can bring up feelings of anxiety and curiosity. Let's have a free 20-minute call to see if we're the right fit. I'm here to support you through the uncertainty. I aim to understand how you engage with yourself, others, and the world. Life can feel overwhelming, making it hard to confront big questions and emotions.

I am passionate about helping clients intercept 'stuck' cycles by finding new ways of adjusting and coping. Many of the clients that I work with find themselves struggling with life demands or what the World Health Organisation (WHO) typically defines as 'burn-out' (ICD-10). Quite often they feel overwhelmed, depleted and unable to find an obvious solution to their problem. They find themselves chronically ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, leading to vicious cycles of depression and anxiety. These clients require a specialised therapist who can offer brief, effective treatment.

You may be feeling overwhelmed & disconnected in your relationships & work, &/or experiencing anxiety & despair about the state of the world - the climate crisis, the political landscape, the “never enough” of grind culture capitalism, the multitude of oppressive systems that plague us (racism, cisheteropatriarchy etc). I’ve been practicing for 15 years & find it especially rewarding working with those who are highly sensitive, empathic, artists, activists, queer, non monogamous, those struggling with a dysregulated nervous system, anxious attachment, poor boundaries & people pleasing. I work somatically alongside talk therapy.

I work closely with women who have struggled with self esteem & identity, relationship issues, difficulties in motherhood, life transitions, attachment and early trauma, and transgenerational trauma.
