Mrs Amola Patel

Psychotherapist

“An experienced mental health therapist dealing with Suicide Intervention and Prevention ( crisis counseling), HIV Counseling, Drugs and Addiction Counseling, Depression, Anxiety, Family Therapy and Trauma Counseling.”

About Me

Facing overwhelming feelings, family struggles, or the weight of addiction can feel isolating. As an experienced therapist, I support individuals and families navigating these profound challenges. I specialise in suicide intervention, trauma, depression, and anxiety, alongside HIV Counseling. We can work together to find stability and develop practical ways forward. Those seeking a calm, experienced guide through difficult times will find a dedicated space here.

Approach

When hard moments become constant, my work steps in with calm, practical pacing—small, doable moves that prioritise safety and clear next steps. I offer in-person support in Kampala and remote sessions in English or Gujarati, keeping appointments flexible to fit daily demands. Sessions are collaborative: we map what’s urgent, try short experiential and reflective practices, and agree on brief between-session tasks so progress carries into life outside the room. People seeking steady, practical help through crisis and recovery often find this approach helpful.
