I underwent a course of CBT with Dr Palmer in 2023 to treat an anxiety condition (OCD). Dr Palmer was very professional, worked hard to help me understand the CBT process, and to implement it in the best possible way for my particular circumstances. Anyone suffering from OCD will appreciate the importance of a non-judgmental therapist who makes you feel safe talking openly, and Dr Palmer was extremely compassionate in this regard. As someone who had untreated anxiety issues for more than a decade, treatment proved a real gamechanger for me – I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Palmer's practice for anyone who may be suffering similar issues.

Working with Asmita has been life changing for me. My struggle with self compassion was the missing piece of the jigsaw in overcoming OCD and facing it when it rears it head again from time to time. Asmita is a genuine and warm therapist and her alternative perspective on things has provided me with greater wisdom and insights into my inner critic. I cannot recommend her enough.

I saw Asmita at a time in my life when the low-level anxiety I had long suffered escalated to crisis point. She was kind, perceptive and easy to talk to, and helped me deal not only with the anxiety – which manifested itself around my work – but also with the associated lack of professional confidence I suffered.

In the years that have followed I have been troubled far less by anxiety, and when I have, I've been able to use the tools Asmita gave me to deal with it. I've also made significant progress professionally, and attribute this in large part to the time I spent working with her. I will always be grateful for the way Asmita helped me and the lasting impact it has had. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I have been under the care of Dr.Palmer over a period of several months, once in 2014 and once in 2018. On both occasions she guided me through two of the most difficult periods of my life.

It is obvious she is extremely passionate about her work; her knowledge and experience is very reassuring. Importantly she is genuinely compassionate which I find to be a very rare quality these days. I’m a very private person but I’ve always felt at ease with her.

I am very grateful for the care she provided me. I highly recommend her without any reservations.

Asmita Palmer is a very competent professional and is warm and responsive. I found her treatment of OCD to be very helpful as she used a combination of specific approaches including ERP and compassion focussed therapy. I found her deep listening and genuine curiosity about my difficulties to be affirming and effective.

I saw Asmita regularly for seven months to address long-standing anxiety issues. Through her thoughtful and caring assistance, my anxiety levels reduced and I was able to stop taking medication. Asmita took an intelligent holistic approach and pointed me towards cognitive behaviour therapy techniques which I still find very useful.

I have no hesitation in recommending Asmita to any future patients.

I have known Asmita for many years and would not hesitate to recommend her sterling work. Asmita is intelligent, kind, grounded, professional and all that you could ask of from health care professional. The work we have carried out together has been positively life changing for both me and my family. Should you be taken on as her client you will be in the best of hands.

I found Asmita a great Therapist. I had been suffering from OCD for 15+ years. I probably saw Asmita at my worst whilst I was pregnant with my first child.

Asmita really helped me through some very tough times. She is extremely caring and gave me some really useful CBT tools to help combat my OCD and anxiety. I’ve seen many therapists over the years and Asmita was by far the best. She gave me tools to use post sessions, recorded my sessions so I could listen to them afterwards. Also was keen that I didn’t become reliant on the therapy.

With Asmita’s tools, combined with the right medication, I feel like a different person now. I feel like I can live my life “normally now”.

As a GP myself it was difficult to ask for help. Dr Palmer was so professional, skilled and empathetic - I felt safe. I was heard, and totally able to trust her. She enabled me to have a deeper understanding, and gave me a new perspective on my present. I nurtured self-compassion and practical tools that I use on a daily basis for my resilience, gratitude and acceptance.

Asmita has provided excellent therapy for my daughter who suffers from OCD. Due to her care my daughter has been able to deal with her OCD and leads a normal life. Asmita listens sympathetically but challenges appropriately so that changes can be made.

We were lucky to have found her and I would recommend her whole heartedly to anyone looking for a therapist.

Dr Asmita Palmer was a great help during a difficult time in my life. She was kind and thoughtful, very professional, successful in how she handled the anxieties I was struggling with, and over all, a very nice person. She was kind enough to talk to me at a later date when I needed further advice, and was always very helpful. I am very pleased to have worked with her and happier in my life for having done so.
