About me
I am London-Born female-identifying psychotherapist with mixed South Asian heritage (English/Indian).
As a therapist, my goal is to provide an open and safe environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that empowers individuals from all backgrounds to better understand themselves, build resilience, and gain confidence in their ever evolving circumstances. I have a deep understanding of transitional life stages, relationship challenges, and the complexities of identity including, but not limited to; race, gender identity, sexuality, and neurodiversity. I strive to explore how these intersect with the world around us and the impact this may have on mental wellbeing.
I have always been a humanist in nature and practice. I believe that human life is precious. Consciousness is something to cherish and nurture. I celebrate each of our complexities, differences and value the unique stories every individual brings.
In our therapy sessions, we create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. My approach is integrative, drawing from 3 main therapeutic approaches. The first is Gestalt Therapy which focuses on enhancing awareness and links between emotional and physical experiences through body activation techniques and breathwork. This work is very much in the here and now. Alongside grounding work I use Psychodynamic Theory to explore how childhood experiences/past trauma have impacted your current relationship patterns. This really helps to solidify our understanding of how our pasts connect to our present realities. Lastly, and perhaps the most significant of the modalities I draw from is Person-Centred Therapy which relies heavily on the therapeutic relationship. This means, I put you and your needs at the centre of the work always. You are the expert of your own life, I am here as guidance to foster self-growth and healthy communication. We will explore your thoughts and feelings on any arising issue without judgment always. We can operate a long-term therapy structure which allows you to control when to decide you no longer need the therapy and we will stay in open communication about this throughout our sessions. I predominantly work online but I can provide in-person therapy if needed depending on time of day. I am a qualified member of BACP.
Together, we’ll work to uncover the root of your current struggles and create a path forward toward your self-actualising aspirations.

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.
