About me
Sometimes life can feel difficult to navigate, particularly when anxiety, stress, low mood or relationship difficulties begin to affect everyday life. You may know that something needs to change, but not know where to start, or find yourself repeating patterns that are difficult to understand or break.
I’m a BACP Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist with 15 years of experience, working with adults, couples and young people aged 16 and over. My practice is based in Harrow, London, and I offer both face-to-face and online therapy.
My core training is psychodynamic, which means we can explore what is happening in your life now while also considering whether past experiences, relationships or established patterns may be influencing how you think, feel and respond today. Understanding these connections can sometimes make sense of difficulties that have felt confusing or overwhelming.
Alongside psychodynamic therapy, I draw on CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), person-centred therapy, solution-focused approaches, mindfulness and EMDR, adapting the work to your individual needs and circumstances.
I work with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, panic, depression, low mood, stress, trauma, bereavement and grief, low self-esteem, confidence difficulties, anger and emotional regulation, relationship problems, couples difficulties, separation and divorce, family issues and life changes. I also support people experiencing work-related stress, workplace anxiety, bullying, harassment, redundancy and retirement.
Therapy is not about telling you what you should do. It is about having a space where you can talk openly, understand what you are experiencing and consider different perspectives without fear of judgement. We can explore the emotional side of what is happening, look at patterns and triggers, and develop practical strategies that may help you manage things between sessions.
I have extensive experience working with clients from different cultural, social and personal backgrounds and through private practice, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), insurance companies and private healthcare providers. I also provide Critical Incident Support through EAP organisations following distressing or potentially traumatic workplace events.
I offer therapy in English, Gujarati and Hindi. Sessions are 50 minutes and can be short-term and focused or longer-term, depending on what you need. My Harrow practice is accessible by car and public transport, with parking available nearby.
If you are considering therapy but are not sure whether it is the right time, you are welcome to get in touch. We can talk about what you are looking for and whether I may be able to help.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
