When You’re Tired of Feeling Like You Should Be Doing Better
-
You may find yourself wondering:
"Why am I overthinking everything?"
"Why can't I just let this go?"
"Why do I keep putting everyone else's needs before my own?"
"Why am I so hard on myself?"
"I know what I need to do. So why can't I do it?"
When anxiety, stress, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, trauma, or emotional exhaustion become part of everyday life, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Especially when you are used to figuring things out by yourself.
As a DIYer myself, I understand the hesitation to reach out for help. You’ve probably handled a lot on your own already—and reaching out doesn’t take away from that strength. Sometimes, it simply means you don’t have to figure out the next step alone.
We can begin with what's happening right now.
Therapy That Looks Beneath The Surface
Sometimes the problem that brings you to therapy is only part of the story.
Anxiety may be connected to a fear of disappointing others.
Perfectionism may be protecting you from feelings of inadequacy.
People-pleasing may have developed from learning that keeping others happy felt safer than expressing your own needs.
Relationship conflict may be connected to attachment patterns or unmet emotional needs.
And emotional exhaustion may be the result of carrying too much for too long.
Rather than focusing only on the symptom, therapy can help us become curious about the patterns, experiences, beliefs, and relationships underneath it.
This is where insight and meaningful change can begin.

A Warm, Collaborative and Relational Approach to Psychotherapy
I believe therapy works best when you feel both understood and supported in growing.
My approach is strength-based, person-centred, relational, trauma-informed, and eclectic.
Rather than using one therapeutic approach with every client, I draw from different evidence-informed modalities based on your individual needs and goals.
Our work may incorporate:
Relational therapy
Psychodynamic therapy
Attachment-focused therapy
Trauma-informed approaches
Somatic therapy
Compassion-focused therapy
Parts work (based on IFS Therapy)
Mindfulness and emotional regulation
CBT and DBT informed strategies
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (an offshoot of EMDR)
Psychoeducation and practical coping strategies
The goal isn't simply to help you manage symptoms.
It's to help you understand yourself more deeply, recognize patterns, build on your existing strengths, and develop greater choice in how you respond to life's challenges.
Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I'm Ekta (MBBS, MACP)
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and the founder of MindBound Counselling and Psychotherapy in Kingston, Ontario.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than a decade working as a physician in radiology. That experience shaped the way I understand people—with curiosity, careful attention, and an appreciation for the complexity of each person's story.
My transition into psychotherapy came from wanting to work more deeply with the emotional, relational, and personal experiences that shape how we live our lives.
Today, I strive to create a therapy space where you don't have to perform, minimize your experiences, or have everything figured out.
You are welcome here, exactly as you are.

I provide psychotherapy for teens and adults in Kingston and virtually across Ontario who may be experiencing:
Cultural and identity-related concerns
LGBTQ+ related concerns
