About Richa Mohta
Richa is a Clinical Psychologist and Dance Movement Therapy Practitioner by training and profession. Personally, I am a dancer, a creative, and a curious explorer with a love for thought-provoking shows, movies, and music. For me, therapy means holding space for others, empowering them to connect with the strength that is already within.
Qualifications
MPhil in Clinical Psychology
Diploma in Dance Movement Therapy
Experience
With 4.5 years of experience, I’ve worked with a range of therapeutic approaches, knowing that no single method fits every person’s needs. I incorporate for instance, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, trauma-informed practices like Polyvagal Theory, and inner child work into my sessions. Currently, I am also training in Somatic Experiencing.
Focus Areas
My primary areas of work include self and relationship concerns, such as self-worth, self-confidence, managing self-blame, and addressing patterns like perfectionism and procrastination. I also work with complex emotions like guilt and shame, help clients build healthier relationships with their emotions, and develop assertiveness, boundaries, safety, and trust. Diagnostically, my experience spans Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, Adult ADHD, CPTSD. My background in dance and movement therapy, along with my understanding of trauma, places emphasis on mind-body integration in the healing process.
Philosophy
I believe that our symptoms, thought patterns, and emotional challenges are deeply connected to our relationship with ourselves and our environment. Therapy isn’t about labelling or pathologizing but about gaining clarity and perspective. Growth requires self-compassion, and I am a firm believer that reconnecting with our authentic selves—especially in a society that often alienates us from who we truly are—is essential. Effective therapy helps us find our voice and return to our bodies, reclaiming our true selves.
