About me
My name is Pav and I am a Registered Counsellor of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapists, based in Birmingham.
Is this your first time in therapy? Or maybe returning after a gap? Searching for a therapist is a huge step within itself. I am aware of how overwhelming life can become, sometimes we need to seek out a supportive environment. Well done for taking this first step and a leap of faith.
I aim to build both a safe and professional relationship by providing a non-judgmental and confidential space where you feel supported, heard and encouraged to reach your full potential at a pace that suits you.
I have worked with a range of areas such as anxiety, stress, low mood, depression, relationship breakdowns, trauma and many more. I have experience with sensitive topics working with clients, safely managing past experiences, exploring impacts these hold on present self and future self. I work in a trauma informed way, meaning I am mindful of the impact trauma can have on your emotional, mental and even physical well-being.
No one person’s experience is the same, I recognise the multitude of contributing factors that form our view of the world including cultural background, social status and family backgrounds. As a South Asian Therapist, I have an understanding and sensitivity to the importance of different cultures.
If you would like to take the next step with myself. I offer a free 15-minute initial telephone consultation to explore needs, concerns and any questions you may have prior to booking in sessions.

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.
