Hi, I'm AJ,
If you are struggling with life, maybe even just getting out of bed, then I am here to help you. It takes courage to reach out for help, you don't have to face your problems alone.
As a UKCP accredited Integrative Psychotherapist, I place relationship at the core of my practice and believe it is the foundation that supports my learning, my experience and its practical application.
This enables me to offer an organic and effective therapy within a nurturing and non-judgmental environment, providing you with a safe and comfortable place to explore all that ails you and ensures that healing occurs at your pace. I specialise in working with fundamental, significant and difficult life changes, with bereavement and with physical, emotional and psychological loss and trauma.
My way of working
I work creatively to combine Psychodynamic, Psychoanalytical and relational approaches with Mindfulness and Spirituality, to ultimately provide psychological and emotional growth, change and healing. I also incorporate the latest Neurobiological research in my practice to aid in understanding the Psychosomatic effect on the body.
I offer face to face counselling. Phone/video calls & evening sessions also available.
What I can help with
This robust training and experience supports the holistic therapeutic environment I provide and enables me to work comprehensively with a range of psychological problems, from anxiety and depression to more complex trauma and PTSD.
I am able to offer both short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy in English and Punjabi, while my life experience ensures a deep understanding into cultural, religious and social differences. I practice in both Peterborough and Nottingham and am situated close to their respective city centres.

Experience
I have 12 years experience as an Optometrist working 1-2-1 with patients in the medical field. This has given me a unique foundation when working more therapeutically.
I have a firm and extensive understanding of both the Medical and Therapeutic worlds, allowing me to draw upon the techniques of both to support my client's on their journey.

My therapeutic training consists of working within the private sector, gaining comprehensive experience around a wide range of Psychological presentations.

Further information
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, qualified (with Distinction, valedictorian) at Masters level, and can offer academic support to all students studying a Degree and/or Masters.
