Eshmit is a British-Panjabi Sikh Embodied Arts Psychotherapist and Founder of EK Therapy, established in 2021 in response to the lack of culturally attuned therapeutic support within the Sikh community. Her practice integrates embodied, transpersonal, and anti-oppressive approaches, recognising that healing is lived through the body, relationships, culture, and spirit.

Her work centres embodiment as a pathway for healing, supporting people to process trauma, reconnect with themselves, honour ancestral histories, and gently shift intergenerational patterns. Intersectionality and cultural humility sit at the heart of her work, with a strong commitment to widening access to therapy for faith-based and marginalised communities.

Eshmit has extensive experience supporting children, young people, and adults across NHS CAMHS, inpatient services, and community settings, with particular expertise in complex developmental trauma and children in care. She has worked within Sikh community spaces for over a decade and also provides consultation and reflective spaces for residential children’s homes to support trauma-informed and therapeutic care environments.

Eve is a neurodivergent and queer-affirmative HCPC-registered Dramatherapist. She is from South London and has an Eastern European background.

Eve specialises in working with neurodivergent and vulnerable children in schools, supporting their emotional and social development through play, empathic connection and experiences of agency. In her private practice, she works mainly with women as well as individuals who are exploring their autistic, ADHD or AuDHD identity. 

Eve’s style is relational and creative, using Jungian and transpersonal approaches to story, movement and dance to support self-insight and authentic expression. Respect for the uniqueness of each person’s diversity of background and life experience is foregrounded, with clients consistently highlighting Eve’s sensitivity and attentiveness.

Other areas of expertise include Children in Care, complex developmental trauma, anxiety, loneliness, challenging behaviour in children, CSA, attachment difficulties and parental separation.

Aside from her therapy practice, Eve also teaches movement on a Postgraduate therapy training. Her research interests lie in the ceremonial and ritual origins of dance and the role of movement in the individuation process. These underpin her dedication to guiding others through the transformative potential of embodied practice.

Eve is the facilitator of our Rooted & Rising: Women’s Stress Series, in Lewisham.
