Integrative Psychotherapist

Bhavesh Kotecha

I’m an integrative psychotherapist (BACP-registered) with a professional background as a chartered accountant, having begun my career at Deloitte LLP. Alongside my therapy practice, I also work as a consultant within the charity sector. My career has consistently brought me into contact with people from a wide range of cultural, social, and professional backgrounds - an experience that continues to shape my therapeutic approach today.

Cultural identity plays a central role in how we experience the world - in our relationships, careers, self-worth, and sense of belonging. As someone who has navigated multiple professional and personal identities, I am deeply attuned to the subtle ways our various identities influence how we show up in life, and in therapy. I bring a sensitive and nuanced perspective to my work, recognising that no two stories are alike, and that culture can be both a source of strength and complexity.

Having spent over a decade in professional services, I understand the unspoken pressures and expectations that can arise in high-performance environments such as law, finance, and consulting. I work with clients who are often high-achieving but inwardly struggling with identity, disconnection, burnout, or a sense of misalignment between who they are and what is expected of them.

In therapy, I offer a reflective, collaborative space where you can safely bring your whole self, not just the parts that feel acceptable or polished. Whether you're grappling with a specific issue, feeling emotionally stuck, or sensing that something deeper needs attention, we’ll work together to explore what’s emerging at your pace. I aim to foster insight and resilience through curiosity, challenge, and compassion.

My approach is warm, grounded, and relational. I tailor our work to you - integrating creativity and depth with the practicalities of real life. I understand what it means to hold multiple roles in the world and I bring a sincere respect for the personal and cultural narratives that have shaped who you are.

I am also a counselling skills tutor, mental health trainer and mentor to young entrepreneurs - but I gain the most pleasure from being a father to two energetic teenage boys and releasing my inner child!
