Dr Garima Chaturvedi is a Counselling Psychologist registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). She holds a Professional Doctorate of Counselling Psychology from York St John University (YSJ), a MA in Clinical Psychology from University of Delhi, and a BA (Hons) in Psychology from University of Delhi.

Garima has over five years of experience across the UK and India, working in community mental health teams, addiction services, schools, private practice, and forensic settings. She has supported clients of all ages and backgrounds, presenting with a wide range of difficulties and levels of severity, with particular expertise in complex trauma, addictions, attachment difficulties, anxiety, OCD, mood-related challenges, and neurodiversity. She also has extensive experience working within the NHS with adults with Complex Emotional Needs (CEN).

Having moved countries herself, Garima is attuned to the emotional impact of being away from home and has a particular interest in supporting expatriates and individuals facing work- or relationship-related stress. She is dedicated to providing a therapeutic space that fosters non-judgement, deeper self-understanding, and emotional relief.

Garima’s therapeutic approach is integrative, relational and tailored to each individual. Her therapy is underpinned by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and incorporates techniques from Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), person-centred approaches, systemic thinking, attachment-based work, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She works in a trauma-informed way, recognising the mind–body connection and supporting clients to understand both their symptoms and their deeper patterns of relating.

Garima is committed to building a culturally sensitive therapeutic space, grounded in respect, compassion and curiosity. She collaborates with clients to set meaningful goals that guide the therapeutic process, honouring their expertise in their own lives.
