About me
Something has brought you here. You may know exactly what it is, or simply know that life shouldn’t feel this hard. ''Have a free 15 min introductory chat''.
You may be anxious, hurt, overthinking, feeling low or overwhelmed. Perhaps a relationship is hurting you, you’ve lost confidence in yourself, or you’re exhausted from always holding everything together. Maybe experiences from the past are still affecting how you feel about yourself or the relationships and choices you make.
You don’t need to have it all worked out before coming to therapy. We can make sense of it together.
How I can help ?
I offer **active, in-depth psychotherapy** for:
- Anxiety, overthinking and feeling overwhelmed
- Difficult, emotionally harmful or confusing relationships
- Trauma and the lasting effects of difficult experiences
- Low self-worth, shame and self-criticism
- Perfectionism and feeling never quite “good enough”
- Recurring emotional or relationship patterns
- Life changes, loss of confidence and feeling stuck
We can work with what is troubling you now while also understanding **why certain feelings, reactions or relationship patterns keep returning**. The aim is not simply to manage symptoms, but to help you understand yourself more deeply and create meaningful, sustainable change.
What can you expect from me?
My style is **warm, engaged and collaborative**. I won’t simply sit back and leave you to do all the talking. I will think alongside you, ask thoughtful questions, help you notice patterns and connections, and offer practical ways forward when useful.
With **over 15 years’ clinical experience across NHS mental-health services, private practice and community settings**, I am comfortable working with both everyday difficulties and concerns that feel more complex, longstanding or difficult to make sense of.
My approach is integrative, with particular grounding in **Schema Therapy and relational and experiential approaches**. This means therapy is shaped around **you**, rather than fitting you into one model.
Throughout our work, you remain the expert on your own life. My role is to bring psychological knowledge, curiosity and an active therapeutic relationship to help us understand what is happening and what might need to change.
**Online across the UK — £80 per session**
**In-person in North-West London — £100 per session**
**English & Farsi/Persian**
Still not sure if I’m the right therapist for you?
I offer a **FREE 15-minute introductory WhatsApp call**.
You can briefly tell me what is bringing you to therapy, ask questions and get a sense of how I work before deciding whether you would like to book a session.
**There is no obligation to continue.**

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.

Further information
Alongside my clinical work, I have contributed to psychological research at London South Bank University, including research exploring attachment, intimate relationships, infidelity and child development.
My wider experience includes working with services supporting people affected by domestic abuse, homelessness and substance-use difficulties, as well as facilitating therapeutic groups and psychological wellbeing workshops.
This breadth of clinical and research experience informs how I understand people: not simply through symptoms, but in the context of their relationships, experiences, culture and the circumstances in which their difficulties developed.
