About me
Welcome!
Whether you are feeling stuck in a season of exhaustion and confusion, or intentionally seeking deeper self-discovery, I provide a space for both relief and growth. I partner with adults to untangle life’s heavy moments and cultivate meaningful personal development.
Maybe you are managing anxiety, depression, burnout, or the shadow of past trauma. Perhaps you are navigating grief, a difficult life transition, relationship struggles, or low self-esteem. These challenges can feel overwhelming, but they are things we can untangle together.
If you are coming to therapy with a specific goal, we can work together to tackle the particular challenges holding you back. This might involve developing practical coping strategies for stress, learning to set healthier boundaries, or processing a distinct event that has left you feeling stuck.
For those seeking culturally specific support, I offer a space rooted in a shared understanding of Muslim identity and values. Navigating life at the intersection of faith, family expectations, and modern society can bring unique pressures. It can be deeply reassuring to speak with a counsellor where you do not have to explain your background, whether your faith is central to your daily life or something you are gently reflecting upon.
This is also a dedicated, supportive space for anyone experiencing ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD. Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis, gently exploring these traits in yourself for the first time, or have known about your neurodivergence for years, you are very welcome here. In this practice, you do not need to mask, conform, or try to fit into a world that wasn't built for you. You will be met with genuine curiosity, respect, and the room to be your full, authentic self.
As an integrative counsellor, I offer a steady, calm space where you can slow down, speak freely, and make sense of what’s happening inside you. My approach is flexible and responsive, shaped around your unique identity, history, and the parts of yourself that are asking for attention.

Training, qualifications & experience
Experience:
My therapeutic approach is deeply informed by both my professional background and my lived experience, which together shape my commitment to inclusive, accessible care.
For many years, I have worked within community-based support: facilitating women’s groups and working alongside learning disability charities. This, alongside my own lived experience, allows me to offer a practice that is truly grounded in the realities of navigating a world that isn't always designed for everyone.
Additionally, my background in further education, helping individuals identify and navigate personal barriers, has shaped a warm and empowering approach. I am dedicated to supporting clients as they find their own path forward, ensuring that every part of their story is met with genuine insight and respect.
This foundation in community support led me to pursue formal clinical training, details of which are listed below:

Further information
Steady progress in counselling often grows from a warm, trusted connection and consistent support. To help us build this momentum, I offer weekly or fortnightly sessions. This regular rhythm provides a gentle, predictable space where you can feel safe to explore and process difficult feelings at your own pace.
Curious about how we might work together? I offer a free, no-obligation discovery call. This is a gentle opportunity for us to see if we feel like a good fit and for you to ask any questions you may have.
