MBACP Integrative Therapist

About me

I’m an integrative therapist offering online and face-to-face therapy to adults across the UK, with face-to-face sessions in Coventry. I work with a range of emotional, relational and life difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, family issues, relationships, trauma, boundaries and life changes.

I currently have availability and offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation. This gives us a chance to talk about what brings you to therapy, how I work and whether we feel like the right fit.

Starting therapy can feel daunting. You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where we can explore what is bringing you to therapy at your own pace.

Through trust, curiosity and connection, we can begin to make sense of your experiences and patterns. I see you as the expert in your own life; my role is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you, offering support, reflection and gentle challenge where helpful.

My Experience & Approach

My experience includes working with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, ADHD, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma, sexual violence, abuse, addiction, workplace conflict, racism and family difficulties. I have specialist experience supporting survivors of rape and sexual violence, alongside experience supporting people navigating addiction and recovery.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on relational, person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. This allows us to consider both what you are experiencing now and how earlier experiences, relationships and patterns may have influenced how you understand yourself and relate to others.

I’m also mindful that our experiences cannot always be separated from our culture, family, identity and wider circumstances. I value creating space to explore cultural identity, family expectations, religion, spirituality, belonging and the experiences that may shape how we see ourselves.

I speak English and Punjabi and aim to offer a culturally sensitive space where you can bring all parts of yourself, including aspects of your identity or experiences that may feel difficult to talk about elsewhere.

What We Can Explore

You may be coming to therapy because of:

Anxiety and stress – overthinking, worry, feeling overwhelmed, burnout, difficulty switching off or feeling constantly on edge.

Relationship difficulties – communication, conflict, trust, attachment, separation, recurring patterns, difficulties with boundaries or finding yourself putting other people's needs before your own.

Low mood and self-esteem – self-criticism, perfectionism, people-pleasing, shame, feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself.

Trauma and abuse – including childhood trauma, rape, sexual violence, abuse and coercive control.

Family and interpersonal difficulties – exploring relationships, family dynamics, expectations and patterns that may have developed over time.

Identity, culture and belonging – exploring who you are, where you feel you belong and how your experiences, relationships, culture and expectations may have shaped your sense of yourself.

Addiction and recovery – exploring emotional experiences, coping, relationships and the impact that addiction or recovery can have on everyday life.

Loss and life changes – bereavement, separation, diagnosis, career changes, transitions or other significant changes in your life.

These are not limitations on what we can explore. You may come to therapy with something specific you want to work through, or simply know that you are struggling. Our work will be guided by what feels most important to you.

Working Together

Therapy isn't about fixed formulas or simple answers. I aim to bring warmth, empathy, curiosity and gentle challenge, while respecting your pace, individuality and what feels right for you. We may focus on what is happening in your life now, explore earlier experiences and relationships, or look at patterns that continue to affect how you feel and respond today.

I offer 50-minute weekly sessions, with both short-term and longer-term therapy available, online or face-to-face.

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Other areas of counselling I deal with

My background in psychology and psychotherapy has given me a strong interest in understanding people beyond the difficulties that bring them to therapy. I’m interested in self-understanding, relationships, emotional patterns, personal values and the ways we develop coping strategies throughout our lives.

My First Steps

Free 15-minute online introductory consultation

The introductory consultation gives us the opportunity to talk about what has brought you to therapy, discuss how I work, answer any questions you may have and consider whether we feel like the right fit to work together.

You don't need to prepare anything beforehand or know exactly what you want to say. We can simply start with what feels most important to you.

Finding the right therapeutic relationship matters, so there is no pressure to have everything figured out. The consultation is simply a chance for us to meet, talk and see how it feels.
