About me
Therapy can feel daunting, to open up about the things that are hurting you most and that's exactly why having the right person in your corner matters. My role is to hold that space for you; somewhere safe, steady and completely free of judgment, where you can begin to make sense of what you're carrying.
Whether you're navigating something personally or your relationship has reached a difficult place, my practice is centred on trust, empathy and empowerment. I'll work with you at your pace, towards the changes you want to make.
A little about me
I am a BACP Accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist and Clinical Director of Scottish Asian Counselling Services, a mental health charity supporting South Asian communities across Scotland. This work sits at the heart of what I do — it has deepened my understanding of the unique pressures that culture, faith, family and identity can place on individuals and relationships, and it informs every aspect of how I practise.
I work with a wide range of clients and presentations, and I bring the same warmth, curiosity and directness to every person I work with.
Working with individuals
I support individuals with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, trauma, bereavement and the kind of difficult feelings that are hard to name but hard to ignore. As a BACP Accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist, I draw on CBT alongside compassion-focused and solution-focused approaches — tailoring my approach to you, not the other way around.
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck — like they've been going round in circles with the same thoughts, the same patterns, the same struggles. Through our work together, you can expect to gain a clearer understanding of what's keeping you stuck, develop practical tools to manage what life throws at you, and begin to feel more in control of your own story. Change doesn't happen overnight, but with the right support, it does happen.
Working with couples
Relationships are rarely straightforward. Communication breaks down. Trust gets damaged. Cultural or family pressures build. Life pulls people in different directions and somewhere along the way, you stop feeling like you're on the same team.
Couples come to therapy at all kinds of points — some are in crisis, some just know something has quietly shifted and they want to address it before it gets worse. Whatever has brought you here, this is a space where both of you can speak honestly and feel heard — not just by each other, but by someone who isn't going to take sides or tell you who's right.
I work with couples navigating communication difficulties, trust and infidelity, cultural and family pressures, and the gradual drift that can happen when life gets busy and connection gets lost. I also have a deep understanding of the particular pressures that can exist within South Asian and Muslim relationships — where expectations from family, culture and faith can make these conversations feel even harder to have. Sessions are available in English, Punjabi, and Urdu.
I also offer clinical supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists.
Getting in touch
I offer a free telephone consultation — feel free to reach out and we can have a conversation about whether working together feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP Accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist with a background spanning education, spiritual studies and intercultural work. I hold accredited membership with the BACP and work in accordance with their ethical framework.
I am a Clinical Director of Scottish Asian Counselling Services, a mental health charity supporting South Asian communities across Scotland. This role has given me extensive experience working with individuals and families navigating the intersection of culture, faith, identity and mental health.
I work with a wide range of clients and presentations across all ages — from young people through to older adults — as well as couples, families and organisations. I also offer clinical supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists of various modalities.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing on cognitive behavioural therapy, compassion-focused therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, humanistic and intercultural approaches. I tailor my work to each individual client rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and continually building on my knowledge and skills to best serve the people I work with.
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.
