About me
Reaching out for therapy can feel scary. It takes courage and strength to ask for support, especially if you’re used to carrying things on your own or come from a background where vulnerability isn’t always welcomed. Something in you knows it’s time to pause and take care of yourself. The path to healing starts with being heard - I’m here to hold that space for you.
As an Integrative therapist, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I work holistically, drawing from psychodynamic, humanistic, and body-based awareness, and will tailor our work together to support your unique story. But more than any particular method, I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. Healing and growth happens when we feel safe and accepted as we are.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, self-esteem challenges, and relationship concerns. I also support adults exploring identity, purpose, and personal growth, as well as professionals seeking balance and clarity in high-stress environments.
As an Indian woman who has lived in a number of countries spanning the Middle-East, North America, and Europe, I’ve experienced a multitude of cultures. This helps me bring a lived understanding of how race, class, culture, and systemic oppression can impact mental health, relationships, and self-worth. No matter your background, I offer a space where you can truly share your experience and feel understood.
Whether you’re on the path to self-discovery or just want to work on your confidence, my aim is to support you in reconnecting with your inner resources so you can build a life that feels authentic to you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have dedicated over 7 years to training, beginning with a Bsc (Hons) in Psychology with Criminology at Northumbria University, followed by a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling at the Northern Guild for Counselling and Psychotherapy in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Throughout my career as a therapist, I have completed over 170 client facing hours and gained valuable experience working with diverse client populations with a wide range of presenting issues. I have worked with adults navigating anxiety, low mood, trauma, neurodivergence, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
In addition to my qualifications and experience, I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and The Northern Guild for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I also hold an enhanced DBS check and am completely insured, guaranteeing safety and professionalism for my practice.
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.
