Get to know us - Dr Sheetal Dandgey
At our practice in Oxford Circus (W1W), all of our therapists are qualified psychologists, psychotherapists or counsellors. They are registered with several professional bodies, including the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the British Psychological Society (BPS), as well as, BACP, UKCP and BABCP. They use CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy), psychodynamic, humanistic and integrative approaches, tailored around your needs to help you deal with your challenges and reach your goals.

I have worked within mental health settings since 2008 and as a practising Counselling Psychologist since 2013. I currently also work within the NHS. I am registered with both the HCPC and BPS.
I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients to find self-acceptance, meaning and to enable growth in their personal strengths. I use an integrative approach and apply psychological models according to their unique contextual needs and value our relationship as a key component in order to foster this resolution.
I aspire to help explore and increase the awareness of beliefs and values in order to enable an understanding of how one relates to the world, themselves and others. This process of self-acceptance and growth can empower a deeper understanding of how one responds to various situations and can lead to successful change being affected. It is important to me to deliver a compassionate, genuine and non-judgemental approach and personalise therapy to the individual sitting in front of me, and to value their uniqueness.
Within the NHS, charity sector and privately, I have developed skills in Cognitive Behavioral approaches (CBT), Person-centred, Acceptance & Commitment therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT).
