About me
Life has its ups and downs, and during the more difficult moments, it can feel overwhelming or isolating. You don’t have to navigate it alone. Counselling offers a safe, confidential space where your thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgement, and where support can begin.
People come to therapy for many reasons: relationship issues, bereavement, anxiety, family pressures, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck in life. Whatever brings you here, my role is to listen with care, help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, and support you in moving forward.
I’m a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor working integratively, which means I draw from different therapeutic approaches depending on your unique needs. My style is relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in empathy and collaboration.
Alongside my work as a psychotherapist, I am also a qualified EMDR Specialist. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a powerful therapeutic approach that can support individuals in processing difficult experiences and reducing the emotional impact of trauma. I offer EMDR sessions for a range of presenting issues, including trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and other emotionally distressing life experiences. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s needs, creating a safe and supportive space for healing and recovery.
Areas I Work With:
Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
Relationship and family difficulties
Low self-worth and confidence
Cultural identity and belonging
Domestic abuse and complex trauma
Life transitions, including separation and divorce
I specialise in Divorce Coaching, informed by my background as a court translator with over 10 years’ experience in family law. This enables me to provide both emotional and practical support during what can be a challenging and confusing process.
A Culturally Inclusive Practice
Having worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, I’m deeply attuned to the importance of cultural identity in the therapeutic space. I offer a non-judgmental and inclusive approach, especially for clients who may face stigma or silence regarding their emotional well-being in their communities. I am fluent in Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, and English, and can offer sessions in the language you feel most comfortable with.
Collaborative Work & Referrals
I regularly work alongside legal professionals, social workers, and women’s refuge support workers to ensure clients receive joined-up and compassionate care. I welcome professional referrals and am always happy to discuss how I can support your client within a trauma-informed, culturally inclusive framework.
How I Work
I offer both short-term, focused work and open-ended therapy, tailored to your specific needs. Sessions are available in person and online.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Life and wellness coaching has grown to be a hugely successful form of talking therapy, to the extent that it has helped turn people's lives around.
I have more recently trained as a Life and Wellness coach. If you feel you are feeling "stuck" in your present life, be it in a job, relationship or in a particular situation, you may benefit from talking through goals to help you achieve a more satisfactory outcome. A life coach is someone that looks to empower others by helping them make, meet and exceed goals in both their personal and professional lives, and I hope I will be the one to help you achieve your own personal goals.
As a trained wellness coach I can support you through a transitional period of you wanting to achieve a healthier and more successful lifestyle. I am trained in helping clients overcome difficulties with managing chronic health conditions, weight management and smoking cessation.
