About me
I am a qualified and accredited counsellor/ psychotherapist with significant experience of helping people find ways of tackling immediate problems whilst also exploring and dealing with deeper issues that may be behind present difficulties.
Painful experiences, losses and unsatisfactory relationships can sometimes drain our emotional resources to the point where we may struggle to cope. If you find yourself in this position feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or isolated, please don’t suffer alone. Contact me. The areas that I have particular experience include relationship problems, couple / family difficulties, traumatic experiences, abuse, bullying, addictions, personality disorders, academic problems at school / university and conduct problems in children. I have helped clients work through depression, anxiety, anger, obsessions, phobias and panic which they may be experiencing as a result of their difficult experiences.
Based in Harrow I work on a brief or longer term basis providing a confidential and supportive environment where you can feel safe in sharing your problems and worries. I provide face to face counselling as well as online counselling via Skype. The integrative approach I use is adapted to your particular needs and aims to enhance your natural emotional resources. This approach considers factors that play important influences in people’s lives: relationship with parents, messages learnt from childhood, family ways of doing things, patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving as well as cultural and spiritual issues. By jointly exploring what has brought you to counselling I can help you become more aware of the different aspects of your difficulties and their particular meanings for you. Encouraging you to consider alternative perspectives and actively experiment with different ways of thinking and responding may all help you find a way forward through your challenges.
My background also makes me well placed to understand the complexity of issues faced by minority clients and the challenges linked to living and working in a country not your own. I speak English, Urdu, Hindi and French.
I am a registered provider with BUPA, AVIVA, AXA Health and Cigna.
I am also a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and follow their codes of ethics and professional practice guidelines.

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.

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).

Next Steps
If you would like to have an initial consultation, please contact me either via email or mobile to book an appointment. At the initial consultation we will explore your needs and expectations and clarify the process of counselling and the way I work. Should we both feel that counselling would be appropriate at this time we will make arrangements for regular sessions for a mutually agreed period.
