About me
I am a BABCP accredited psychological therapist with specialist training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I also bring my experience as a qualified yoga teacher and yoga therapist into my work, integrating body-based awareness where helpful to support emotional regulation and trauma recovery. I support people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, mood changes, self-doubt, or post-traumatic stress. CBT is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps make sense of how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are shaped by past experiences and cultural pressures. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. I offer a free initial consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps make sense of how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact. Many of these patterns develop for understandable reasons, often shaped by past pain, trauma, or cultural and societal pressures. While they may once have helped you cope, they can start to limit your sense of safety, freedom, or self-worth. In therapy, we’ll gently explore these patterns together, deepen your understanding of your experiences, and discover new ways of responding that feel more supportive and aligned with who you truly are.
What therapy with me is like:
Warm, collaborative, and respectful. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where your experiences, values, and cultural background are genuinely welcomed and respected, including any religious differences.
Grounded in evidence and guided by you. We’ll work together to develop practical tools and insights that reflect your goals and what matters most to you.
Trauma-informed and culturally sensitive. I recognise how systemic stress, marginalisation, family expectations, and identity can shape emotional wellbeing.
Focused on recovery and empowerment. Therapy is about reconnecting with your voice, building self-trust, and strengthening your confidence in your own inner wisdom.
Why I do this work:
I’m deeply committed to creating spaces where people feel truly heard, especially those who have felt dismissed, misunderstood, or silenced in the past. I believe therapy isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong,” but about helping you reconnect with what’s already there: your insight, resilience, courage, and capacity for choice. My work is rooted in hope, compassion, and cultural responsiveness, with an understanding that healing looks different for everyone.
I work with people who are:
Struggling with anxiety, low mood, or harsh self-criticism.
Feeling stuck in thoughts or patterns that no longer serve them.
Healing from trauma, including cultural trauma, relational abuse, or childhood adversity.
Experiencing distress related to voices, paranoia, or feeling detached from reality.
Wanting to understand themselves more deeply and live with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.
Clients often tell me they leave therapy with:
A clearer, kinder understanding of their mind and emotional patterns
Tools to manage distressing experiences, such as intrusive thoughts or voices
A stronger sense of self-trust and confidence in expressing their needs
Greater connection to their values, identity, and sense of purpose
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. If you’re feeling curious about therapy, or ready to take a gentle step toward healing, I offer a free initial consultation so we can explore whether working together feels like the right fit.
