About rootra:therapy
Hi I’m Asher, the psychotherapist at Rootra.
I believe everyone deserves a space to pause, offload, and reconnect with themselves, not just in moments of crisis, but in the everyday build-up of life.
Life can feel busy, overwhelming, or just… constant. Having a dedicated space each week to pause, reflect, and realign can make a real difference.
You might look like you’re coping on the outside, managing work, relationships, and responsibilities, but inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in your own thoughts.
Maybe you’re the reliable one. The person others turn to. You hold things together and show up for everyone else, yet switching off feels difficult, and you’re starting to feel burnt out.
I work mainly with people in their 20s and 30s who are functioning, but exhausted. Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, a lack of self-compassion, self-doubt, or a sense of disconnection from themselves.
I offer a calm, steady, person-centred therapy where you can explore what’s going on for you, without pressure or judgement.
Sessions are weekly and 1:1, grounded in a person-centred approach, with CBT-informed tools, meditations and journal prompts available where helpful (see the FAQ section below for more details on our type of therapy).
How does it work?
Therapy with me is a space for you to talk openly, make sense of what you’re feeling, and begin to understand yourself more deeply.
Together, we can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, helping you build emotional resilience, strengthen your sense of self, and find ways to navigate life with more clarity and balance.
Over time, this can help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and better equipped to handle whatever life brings.
Everything we do is held within a safe, confidential, and ethical framework, with a clear agreement in place before we begin.
If anything of this struck a chord with you, or you’d simply like a space that’s yours each week, you’re very welcome to reach out.
What’s Included?
Every Rootra Therapy journey starts with a free 15-minute exploration call.
This is a space to discuss what you’re looking for and whether I feel like the right therapist for you.
Therapy does not begin until a therapy contract is agreed.
£60 per session(concessionary rates offered).

A note on safety
Rootra Therapy is not a crisis or emergency service.
If you are currently experiencing thoughts of harming yourself or others, feel unable to keep yourself safe, or are in immediate distress, this service may not be the right support at this time.
In these situations, we encourage you to contact your GP, NHS 111, your local crisis team, or emergency services by calling 999. You may also find it helpful to reach out to trusted support such as Samaritans (116 123).
If you are unsure, it can be discussed during a free exploration call to help you find the most appropriate support.
Benefits of rootra:therapy
A space to release the weight you’ve been carrying
This is your space to slow down and let go of the thoughts you’ve been carrying around all day.
A place to release everyday life stress, reset your mind, and soften that heavy feeling of silent overwhelm - so you can reconnect with what you actually want for yourself.
It’s somewhere you can speak freely about how you’re really doing, without worrying about being “too much”. Just you, being honest, and gently guided back to centre.
Build confidence, resilience, and a deeper sense of self
Discover what you really feel, what you really want, and challenge those self-sabotaging thoughts.
By untangling your thoughts and understanding why you’re getting in your own way, you’ll gain clarity and direction for the life you’re trying to build.
As you check in with yourself each week, confidence grows naturally from trusting your authentic self.
Understand and reconnect with your mind and body
A space to gently unravel what’s happening beneath the surface. Discover what those thoughts, feelings and physical symptoms might be telling you and how to manage these.
Alongside this, you’ll uncover gentle psychological insights to support your self-awareness journey, helping you feel more in control of your inner world and preparing you for when life throws the unexpected at you.
Why choose rootra?
A space that feels human, not clinical
Therapy with me isn’t about analysing you or trying to “fix” you. It’s a space where you can show up as you are, speak openly, and feel genuinely heard.
I bring both professional training and real-life understanding of stress, burnout, and the pressure of modern life, so you don’t have to explain or justify why things feel hard.
Support before things reach breaking point
You don’t have to wait until everything feels overwhelming to start therapy.
Many of the people I work with are functioning day-to-day, but feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected underneath it all. Therapy can be a way to pause, reflect, and understand what’s going on before things build up further.
A collaborative approach
I work in a person-centred way, which means we move at your pace. There’s no pressure to have the “right” answers, and nothing you bring is too small or insignificant.
Where it feels helpful, I can introduce practical, CBT-informed tools to support you with things like overthinking, anxiety, or self-doubt, but the focus is always on you, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Person-centred therapy differs from other approaches because it doesn’t tell you what to do - it helps you understand yourself more deeply so you can make your own empowered choices.
While some therapies are more directive or technique-focused, person-centred work is guided by empathy, trust, and a genuine therapeutic relationship.
It’s a collaborative process that supports self-awareness, emotional clarity, and personal growth at your pace. -
