Counselling, Psychotherapy and Psychodynamic Thinking
in Edinburgh, Leith Areas
About: Devika Dhar Psychotherapy
My name is Devika Dhar and I am a integrative psychotherapist in Edinburgh and have been practising psychotherapy for over 20 years now. I am committed to providing counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.
I started a counselling diploma in my mid twenties where I acquired BACP accreditation and then later did an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy after which I gained UKCP registration. In fact, I have been training on and off ever since. I feel I am always learning from life, my clinical supervisors, peers, colleagues and most of all my clients.
How I Can Help You
Often people feel ashamed of finding their situation emotionally difficult to bear, and it takes courage to seek help. You might be feeling overwhelmed by recent events, or something might have been on your mind for some time now; something from the past might have resurfaced in your mind as a result of a recent experience that you feel you need support to work through.
I can offer time and space to think and feel within a gentle, supportive and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship. I am able to work with you in the short-term (6-8 sessions) on a specific issue or over a long period of time to work through deeper trauma or feelings about who you are and how you relate to others.
I am currently only offering sessions online due to the pandemic.
I have been offering therapeutic support online for a few years now so if this is your preference due to geographic location or for other reasons, I would be able to continue sessions online. I offer sessions via First Psychology based in Edinburgh city centre..
We can meet (via Zoom for now) for a once-off free half hour appointment to see if working with me feels right for you.
I have a lot of years experience as a psychotherapist in Edinburgh working with adults and children experiencing a range of difficulties.
This includes issues with:
- Identity
- Migration
- Ethnicity
- Race
- Recent life changes
- Loss
- Bereavement
- Loneliness
- Belonging
- Feeling lost
- Childhood trauma
- Trauma in adulthood
If you are interested in trying online psychotherapy or counselling please contact me, and if you are based in Edinburgh or Leith my counselling and psychotherapy sessions will hopefully return to face-to-face soon - keep an eye out for updates.
