You're in Mind
HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist · Specialist Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health · EMDR trained
At the heart of my work is compassion
Meet Dr Aditi Sharma, a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist with over 11 years of NHS experience working across clinical health psychology, neuropsychology and mental health services. I currently work within NHS Perinatal and Maternal Mental Health Services, and offer private therapy through Mood in Mind.
My aim is to offer a safe, reflective space where you can explore what truly matters to you. Therapy works best when we work collaboratively to develop a shared understanding of your experiences, patterns, and what may be contributing to current difficulties. Drawing on evidence-based approaches, we create a tailored therapy plan to support meaningful change.
Care with time and flexibility
In private practice, I can prioritise compassion, collaboration and individualised psychological care, with the flexibility to focus on what matters most to you. I particularly enjoy supporting women through the emotional and psychological challenges associated with women's health, pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.
Therapy that understands context
I have a particular interest in supporting South Asian women, informed by both clinical experience and research. I aim to provide a therapeutic space where these experiences, including cultural, intergenerational and identity-related pressures can be explored openly and without judgement.
