Support for anxiety that isn’t easing on its own
If your mind won’t switch off, worry has started running the day, or anxiety is showing up in your body as much as your thoughts — this is what therapy with Dr. Ashna Gupta can help with.
What anxiety can look like
Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic. For many people it’s quieter and more constant — a mind that won’t settle, a habit of expecting the worst, or a body that stays tense even when nothing is obviously wrong.
- Racing or repetitive thoughts that are hard to switch off, especially at night
- Constant low-level worry about things that may never happen
- Physical symptoms — tight chest, restlessness, fatigue, trouble sleeping
- Avoiding situations, conversations or decisions out of anticipated anxiety
- Feeling on edge or overwhelmed without an obvious single cause
Who this is for
This work is for anyone whose anxiety is affecting daily life, work, sleep or relationships — whether it’s linked to a specific situation, has built up gradually, or doesn’t seem to have a clear cause at all. You don’t need a diagnosis to start; many people begin simply because things feel harder than they should.
How sessions work
Sessions are a structured, collaborative space to understand what’s driving the anxiety and build practical ways to respond to it differently. Dr. Ashna works at your pace, adapting the approach to what’s actually going on for you rather than applying a fixed programme. Progress is discussed openly — this is supportive, evidence-informed work, without guarantees of a fixed outcome or timeline.
What a first session may look like
The first session is mostly about listening — understanding your situation, what you’ve already tried, and what’s brought you in now. From there, you and Dr. Ashna agree on what ongoing sessions could look like, including frequency and format. There’s no obligation to continue after the first session.
FAQs
How many sessions will I need?
This varies by person and situation, and is discussed openly as therapy progresses — there’s no fixed number set in advance.
Can I do this online?
Yes. Online sessions run over video and work well for anxiety-focused therapy; in-person sessions are also available at the DLF Phase 1 practice.
Is medication part of this?
Therapy here is talk-based. If medication seems relevant, that’s discussed as part of a broader conversation about your care, in coordination with a psychiatrist where appropriate.
