Person-Centred Therapy in London

Person-centred therapy is a gentle, collaborative approach that focuses on you - your experiences, your pace, and what feels important to explore.

Your therapist will offer empathy, understanding, and a safe space to help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings.
It’s a deeply human, empowering way of building self-awareness, clarity, and confidence from the inside out.

Yes. It can be hard fitting in time for yourself in our busy lives, so having 1-1 sessions held online, by video or telephone, makes it more accessible and realistic.

Every therapy journey starts with a free 15-minute exploration call. You can book your spot directly through our online booking page: choose “Rootra Therapy”, select the date that works for you and complete the simple intake form to book yourself in. If all the sessions are full, you can contact therapy@rootra.co.uk and I will let you know via email when more sessions are released. For any help with bookings, just drop me an email and I’ll be happy to help!

In our first session together, you can expect a calm, supportive space where you are led through gentle exploration - you talk about whatever feels important on that day.

You can access a free first session guide here to help ease any worries you may have before you start therapy.

Sessions are £70 per session. This includes 50 minute sessions, with optional resources to take home with you; for example, a meditation recording or CBT tools and techniques.

Yes. Everything shared within therapy is kept confidential and held within a safe, professional and ethical framework.

There are, however, a small number of legal and ethical exceptions to confidentiality, such as if there is serious risk of harm to yourself or others, or where required by law. If this ever needed to be discussed, I would always aim to do so openly and collaboratively with you where possible.

We will go through confidentiality and the therapy agreement together before beginning, so you have space to ask any questions and feel fully informed.

Overthinking is often your mind’s way of trying to protect you. When we’ve experienced stress, criticism, rejection, or felt responsible for keeping others happy, our brains can become hyper-alert to getting things “wrong”.

You may find yourself replaying conversations, analysing decisions, or worrying about how others perceive you, not because there is something wrong with you, but because your nervous system has learnt to stay on high alert.

Therapy can help you understand the deeper roots of overthinking and begin building a more compassionate, trusting relationship with yourself.

Yes. Therapy can help you gently explore where people-pleasing patterns may have developed and why it feels difficult to prioritise your own needs.

Many people who struggle with people-pleasing fear disappointing others, creating conflict, or being perceived negatively. Over time, this can become emotionally exhausting and lead to feelings of anxiety, burnout, or losing connection with yourself.

Therapy offers a space to better understand these patterns, strengthen self-worth, and begin setting boundaries with less guilt and more confidence.

Emotional exhaustion can build gradually over time, especially when you are constantly managing stress, overthinking, carrying responsibility for others, or pushing your own needs aside.

Sometimes people appear to be coping on the outside whilst internally feeling overwhelmed, mentally busy, and unable to fully switch off.

Feeling emotionally exhausted does not necessarily mean something is “wrong” with you. Often, it can be a sign that you have been carrying too much for too long without enough space to pause, process, or be supported yourself.

Feeling responsible for other people’s emotions can often develop from earlier life experiences, relationships, or environments where keeping others happy felt important or emotionally safer.

Whilst caring deeply for others is not a bad thing, constantly prioritising everybody else’s needs above your own can become overwhelming and leave little space for yourself.

Therapy can help you begin recognising where these patterns come from, build healthier boundaries, and learn that you are allowed to care for others without carrying the full weight of their emotions.

Not at all. Many people come to therapy not because they are in crisis, but because they feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, disconnected from themselves, or simply tired of coping alone.

Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and better understand yourself before things reach breaking point. You do not need to be at your “worst” to deserve support.

Sometimes therapy is simply about having a consistent space that is entirely yours.

Struggling to switch off is often linked to anxiety, stress, overthinking, or feeling emotionally responsible for everything around you.

For many people, slowing down can actually feel uncomfortable at first. When your mind has become used to constantly thinking, planning, worrying, or staying productive, rest can feel unfamiliar or even guilt-inducing.

Therapy can help you understand what may be sitting underneath the constant mental clutter and support you in developing a calmer, more compassionate relationship with rest, yourself, and your emotions.
