About me
I work with individuals experiencing; anxiety, depression, racial and cultural identity, discrimination, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma. I also support people exploring sexuality and gender, bereavement and relationship breakdowns.
My practice is informed by my own lived experience as a London-born therapist of mixed South Asian heritage (English and Indian). I understand the complexities of identity, belonging, and navigating different cultural expectations. Alongside this and my work with clients, I empathise with experiences of race, culture, sexuality, gender, family dynamics, and childhood trauma. These shape core beliefs we create about ourselves, narrate our life scripts and mould our sense of self in relationships.
As a psychosexual therapist in training, I support individuals and romantic partners to navigate challenges around intimacy, sex, emotional connection, communication and relationship breakdown. Together, we can explore patterns within your relationship, develop greater understanding of one another's perspective, and strengthen your connection.
My approach is pluralist, however I draw mainly on psychoanalysis, attachment theory, transactional analysis, and humanistic therapies. While theory can help us understand our experiences, I believe the foundation of meaningful therapy is a safe, trusting relationship where you feel heard, understood, and gently invited to question patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you.
Grounded in a humanistic philosophy, my work honours the complexity, individuality and lived experiences each person brings. I believe human life is meaningful. Creating intentional space for reflection allows you to bring greater awareness to your inner world. You are the expert on your own life; my role is to walk alongside you with curiosity as we explore what has you feeling trapped in repetitive cycles and work towards the changes you want to make.

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.
