About me
Sometimes life can feel overwhelming — like it’s just too much to carry on your own. You might be looking for some space to breathe, to reflect, or to make sense of what’s going on. That’s what therapy can offer.
I have been supporting people through many of life’s challenges for many years — from anxiety and low self-esteem to relationship issues, trauma, and grief. I work with both individuals and couples, creating a space that is confidential, supportive, and free from judgment.
My approach is integrative, which means I draw from different therapeutic models — mainly person-centred and psychoanalytic — depending on what feels most helpful for you. I also offer EMDR for trauma and have specialist training in couples counselling from the Tavistock Centre.
“More than anything, I believe in the power of a good therapeutic relationship. Feeling heard, understood, and accepted can be the starting point for real change.”
— Sahar
EMDR, Trauma & PTSD
I bring extensive experience in working with trauma, having supported refugees and individuals affected by war and conflict. My compassionate and skilled approach to trauma therapy — especially through EMDR — creates a safe space for healing, no matter the size or nature of your experience. Whether you’re dealing with longstanding PTSD or a recent emotional wound, I welcome you with empathy and professionalism, guiding you toward greater peace and resilience.
How I Work with Couples
In couples counselling, I begin with a structured three-session assessment: one joint session followed by individual sessions with each partner. From there, I tailor a six-session therapeutic format designed to address key relational challenges. This cycle may be sufficient on its own or can be renewed for ongoing support, helping couples reconnect, resolve conflict, and build a stronger, healthier partnership.
Whether you’re facing something specific or simply have a sense that things aren’t quite right, you’re welcome to reach out.

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.
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.
