About me
Sometimes you may feel troubled, but find it difficult to think things through on your own. Psychotherapy offers you the opportunity to talk openly and in confidence about whatever is on your mind with someone who is trained to listen in a way that helps you work through your current difficulties, which may have their roots in the past. This kind of conversation can open the possibility of lasting change.
As an integrative therapist working in both English and Persian (Farsi), my approach draws on a range of therapeutic models to suit each client. By combining humanistic, psychodynamic and transpersonal psychotherapy, I work with issues including stress, relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression, bereavement, redundancy, immigration-related challenges and low self-esteem.
I work with individuals and couples in a safe, comfortable and confidential environment. I aim to build a professional relationship based on trust and authenticity, offering an unconditional and non-judgemental approach.
Therapy may be short or long term, depending on your individual needs. If you would like to explore whether psychotherapy is right for you, you are welcome to book a free 30-minute online initial consultation. This initial consultation allows us to discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your needs, and consider whether working together would be a good fit.
I work mainly online, but daytime face-to-face sessions can also be arranged if preferred and requested.

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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
