About me
You don’t need to have a clear “reason” for seeking counselling – whether you’re experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, or simply feel that something isn’t quite right. Starting can feel like a big step, especially if you’re unsure what you need or where to begin. I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk openly about what’s been difficult, at your own pace.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, depression, stress, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, and work-related pressures. I also support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about their direction in life.
My approach is integrative, drawing on person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and attachment-informed approaches. In practice, this means I tailor the work to you rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I place particular importance on building a secure and trusting therapeutic relationship, as this forms the basis for meaningful and supportive work.
My mixed English and Indian heritage has also informed my sensitivity to cultural identity and the different ways people make sense of their experiences within family and society.
Alongside my practice I am a published researcher - my paper, Waking the Unconscious, explores the therapeutic potential of lucid dreaming and is published in the International Journal of Dream Research
I offer weekly counselling sessions in a confidential setting.
Getting in touch:
If you’re considering counselling and would like to ask a few questions or explore whether we might work well together, you’re welcome to get in touch. There’s no obligation - an initial conversation can simply help you decide your next step.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Master’s degree (MSc) in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy and am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP 409607).
Before training as a counsellor, I volunteered as a listener with the Samaritans. This experience reinforced the importance of being heard without judgement, particularly during times of distress or uncertainty.
Alongside my clinical work, I have also worked in community and project-based roles within the mental health sector, including contributing to trauma-informed initiatives. This has informed my understanding of how personal difficulties are often shaped by wider social and relational contexts.
In line with professional standards, I attend regular supervision and maintain my knowledge and skills through ongoing continuing professional development (CPD).
Member organisations
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.
