About me

You might feel overwhelmed, like you are constantly overthinking, or struggling to switch off. On the outside, things may look okay, but inside, you feel anxious, stuck, or unsure of who you are or what you need.

You may be navigating family expectations, relationship difficulties, or questions around identity and finding it hard to open up to the people around you.

It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge this and reach out for support, and I'm glad you are here. 

I work with children, young people, and adults, with a particular interest in supporting those experiencing anxiety, trauma, low mood, identity struggles, and relationship challenges.

As a South Asian therapist, I also understand the impact of cultural expectations, family dynamics, and the feeling of having to balance different worlds, and I welcome clients who are navigating these experiences.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and led by you. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to explore what’s going on at your own pace and without judgment.

Alongside talking therapy, I also offer the option of working creatively using art, movement, music and drama. This can sometimes help when things feel difficult to put into words, but it’s always your choice how we work.

Training, qualifications & experience

Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of themselves, and through our work together begin to feel more grounded, clearer in their thinking, and more able to cope with challenges in their lives and relationships.

I have experience in working 1:1 with children (5+), young people, and adults across a range of settings, including charities, GP surgeries, schools, and universities.

I have supported clients with anxiety, trauma, identity, relationships, and neurodiversity, and have particular experience working with those affected by domestic and sexual abuse.

I believe that we do not interact with the world in isolation, and healing as part of our systems is important. With that approach, I also offer couples and parent-child sessions. I invite you to bring your partner/child/parent into the session so that we can work on challenging harmful patterns and improve communication and connection. 

My practice is and always will be anti-discriminatory, queer-affirming and trauma-informed. I aim to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and able to bring all parts of yourself. As a person of colour, I understand firsthand some of the barriers to accessing mental health support and the impact this can have. This informs my commitment to making therapy feel more accessible, inclusive, and culturally sensitive. 

If this feels like the right fit, I offer a free 20-minute introductory call where you can ask questions and get a sense of how I work with no pressure to continue. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).

Further information

As a person of colour, I have lived experience in the impact of reduced access to mental health care and my South Asian identity in a foreign country. I am passionate about increasing access to safe and ethical mental health care, particularly for often minoritised communities.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
