About me

People often come to me when they’re carrying experiences that feel too heavy, too complicated or too painful to manage alone. I offer a calm, steady space where you can talk openly about things you may never have felt safe enough to say before.

Many people seek therapy with me because they’re struggling with relationship difficulties with parents or family — feeling unheard, controlled, criticised or emotionally dismissed, or navigating cultural and generational pressure. I support clients in understanding these patterns and finding ways to feel more grounded and respected in their relationships.

I also work with individuals who are processing their sexual or gender identity, especially within Arab, Muslim or ethnic minority communities, but not exclusively or limited to these communities, where identity can be shaped by silence, fear or shame. You might be managing secrecy, internal conflict or rejection. I offer a confidential, non‑judgemental space to explore identity at your own pace and build self‑acceptance and belonging.

I’m passionate about supporting people who are processing early childhood experiences, including migration, cultural displacement, mixed‑race identity, neurodiversity or growing up in environments that felt overwhelming or confusing. Together, we explore how these early experiences may still be influencing your relationships, emotions or sense of self today, and help you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have felt overlooked or silenced.

Whether you’re navigating identity questions, family conflict, early experiences, trauma, anxiety or long‑standing emotional pain, I offer a space where your story can be heard and understood — a space where you can begin to feel more grounded, more empowered and more yourself.

Training, qualifications & experience

I’m a counsellor with a strong grounding in trauma‑informed practice. My training and ongoing development have shaped the way I work: gently, steadily, and with deep respect for the parts of your story that may have felt too heavy, confusing or unsafe to share before.

A lot of my experience comes from supporting people who grew up in environments where their feelings weren’t understood or their needs weren’t met. This includes emotional neglect, instability, cultural pressure, or early experiences that left them feeling small, unseen or responsible for too much. I help clients make sense of how those early moments still show up now — in relationships, in self‑doubt, in the body, or in the ways they protect themselves.

I often work with people who feel caught between different identities, roles or expectations. This might be cultural, family‑based, or simply the sense of not quite fitting into the boxes others place around you. My own background as someone who is mixed‑race and neurodiverse helps me offer a space that feels grounded, welcoming and sensitive to the layers that shape who we are.

I also have experience supporting survivors of sexual abuse and people who carry trauma in their bodies — through hypervigilance, shutdown, shame, or feeling disconnected from themselves. My approach is slow and steady. I don’t push for details or rush the process. Instead, I focus on helping you build safety, reconnect with your own inner resources, and find a way of relating to your story that feels more manageable.

Much of my work involves untangling difficult family dynamics: criticism, silence, emotional distance, or feeling like you’ve had to perform a version of yourself to keep the peace. I support clients in understanding these patterns and finding new ways to relate that feel more empowered and less draining.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that trauma doesn’t define you but it does deserve to be met with care, patience and a space where you don’t have to carry it alone.
