Dr Kaur Therapy Helping you Conquer your Inner Critic - Online Only - 1:1 Therapy & Group programme for work anxiety

I am a British born Punjabi Sikh female who specialises in helping people manage their hidden hurts. I work in a trauma informed way as I believe that our life experiences impact who we are and how we show up in the world. I see clients I work with being held in a certain point in their lives unable to move forward due to some unhelpful beliefs they have. So in a rapidly changing world, I want to

help people move through those blocks so live life according to their values rather than limited by their past.

1,190 people with Complex PTSD were surveyed, by The Healing and CPTSD Foundation, in their 2025 CPTSD Census.

The findings didnt surprise me but i’m chuffed that the survery has been done.

Because I recognised them, from clinic, and from clients.

I got in trauma in 2012 and developed an interested in 2015 and never really stopped studying complex trauma after that.

Most of the clients who end up in my (virtual) room have already tried CBT, already read the books, already done the ‘work’ on paper.

What they’re usually missing isn’t insight.

It’s someone who actually understands what CPTSD does to a nervous system, and how long it genuinely takes to work with.

That’s exactly what this data says too.

94.5% named emotional abuse.

91.7% named neglect.

The ‘invisible’ traumas, not the ones we picture, were the most common of all.

The strongest predictor of healing wasn’t how much someone went through.

It was whether the person treating them actually understood CPTSD.

I’m still sitting with that one. Not because it’s new to me. Because 1,190 people just proved something I’ve been saying quietly for years.

Swipe through for what the data says.

And why I think it matters that you know it, before you measure your own healing against the wrong ruler. 🪷

I have specialised in helping people through CPTSD for years now, but realise that I don’t make that clear enough … so I will be posting more about this - follow along for more

Healing doesn’t always look like becoming calm, positive or “over it.”

Sometimes healing is learning what safe feels like in your body.

Sometimes it’s noticing what drains you.

Sometimes it’s finally asking: “What does healing actually mean for me?”

Not the version sold online.
Not the version other people expect.
Your version.

Look out for the 5 signs in this reel, they might help you notice where healing is already beginning.

I didn’t learn all of what I do from a textbook. I lived it first.

Growing up as a young South Asian girl watching my family navigate a mental health crisis with almost no support, I learned early what it means to hold everything together when no one is holding you.

That experience is part of why I became a Clinical Psychologist.

And it shapes how I work in a way that 25 years of training alone never could.

Something I want to talk about more is therapeutic alignment, because I think it’s one of the most under-discussed reasons therapy doesn’t always work.

If you’ve gone to therapy and felt like something was missing, it doesn’t always mean therapy is wrong for you.

Sometimes it’s about fit.

Sometimes you need a therapist who works at a deeper level: attachment-focused, trauma-informed, someone who understands the root rather than just the presenting problem.

Sometimes, of course, it just helps to work with someone who has navigated similar life experiences to your own.

Not because you both get to chat about your joint pain and not because shared experience is a requirement for good therapy. It isn’t.

But because there’s a kind of understanding that goes beyond clinical training.

It’s present in the therapy space.

And some people need that to feel safe enough and connected enough to do the deep work.

If therapy hasn’t fully worked for you, it might be worth asking:

❔Was the approach right?
❔Was the depth right?
❔Was the alignment right?

Those are questions worth sitting with.

Follow for more on this. I’ll be talking a lot about what root-level change actually looks like and how to know what kind of support you really need.

And I’d love to know, have you ever experienced a mismatch in therapy? Something that felt off, even if you couldn’t name it at the time?

Weekly therapy is brilliant - for some people, in some seasons of life.

But it’s not the only way, and it was never designed to be.

If the weekly model doesn’t fit your life or you just want to move faster, I want you to know there are other options.

A lot of people wait to start therapy because they think they’re “not bad enough yet.”

But therapy is not just for crisis. honestly

Most times it’s for the person who is functioning, achieving, parenting, working, replying to messages, showing up for everyone, while quietly feeling exhausted, anxious, numb or stuck underneath.

Waiting can feel practical.

But sometimes waiting means the same patterns get stronger:

overthinking, avoidance, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, perfectionism, irritability, self-doubt.

And the longer those patterns run the show, the easier it becomes to believe, “This is just me.”

It might not be.

It might be what you adapted to.

You want therapy….you probably think there are 2 options

Weekly sessions, or self-help.

There are at least nine. ↓

Also, if you’ve ever started therapy, stopped, started again, and quietly wondered whether the problem is you - read this.

There are more options than most people are ever shown.

Here’s the full menu, from lightest touch to most intensive:

1. Self-help (books, podcasts). Useful, but no one’s holding the thread for you. I have an amazon store for great books.

2. Mental-health apps. Brilliant for mild anxiety. Not built for trauma.

3. Workshops and short courses. General, not personal.

4. Single Session Therapy. One focused session for one specific issue - yes, a real, evidence-based modality (SST). I don’t offer this, but I do offer one-off consultations that help make sense of what’s happening.

5. NHS Talking Therapies. Six to twelve sessions, usually CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). Brief by design.

6. Private therapy. Same shape, more flexibility in the kind of work. I offer this, but don’t have 1:1 weekly space at the moment.

7. Structured trauma-informed programmes. A defined arc - assessment, phased work, integration - with proper pacing and a clear ending. I offer this. It’s called the root reset method. DM ‘root’ for more info

8. Therapy intensives. Condensed blocks instead of weekly hours. Carefully screened, because safety always comes first. I offer these - one problem, one week, and we deep dive together.

Here’s what I want you to take from this:

You have the option to ask any therapist directly:

what’s your training in trauma, what’s the structure of the work, and how will we know when it’s done?

A good clinician welcomes those questions.

You’ll find everything in my Amazon storefront, so you can skip the guesswork and go straight to what actually helps.
