A Little About Me

Before I became a therapist, I worked as an Orthoptist (eyes) in the NHS, for over 30 years. My journey into counselling began when I sought therapy during a difficult period in my life. This experience was transformative and inspired me to change careers.

As a second generation South Asian, and a mum of grown-up children, I have lived through the many trials and tribulations that life throws at us. And it’s this combination of my life experiences, my extensive training and my passion to help others, that I bring to the counselling room.

Practice description

My work is grounded in the person-centred approach, creating a warm, supportive space where you can explore what’s troubling you now and reflect on how past experiences may be affecting you.

I'm also Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a respectful, empowering therapy that helps you explore and heal different parts of yourself, especially those carrying pain, shame, or inner conflict.

I incorporate CBT-based strategies and share practical resources to help manage thoughts and emotions and support meaningful change.

I'm flexible in how I work, offering short-term or longer-term therapy, with weekly or fortnightly sessions.

Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £70.

Culturally Sensitive Counselling

For many second or third generation South Asian women, growing up in the UK means navigating family expectations, cultural norms, and traditional gender roles. This can lead to identity struggles, relationship conflict, and feelings of anxiety, sadness, or not feeling good enough. These issues can be hard to talk about, often leaving you feeling alone with an internal battle and a fear of judgment.

Counselling offers a safe, supportive space to explore these challenges. As a therapist, I am bound by my ethical framework, so you can rest assured that our discussions will remain confidential.

I also draw on IFS to explore parts of you shaped by culture, family, and generational pressure, supporting you to reconnect with your voice and values in a respectful and empowering way.

My Qualifications and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

  • BA (Hons) Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy (Warwick University) 
  • BSc (Hons) Health Sciences 
  • Internal Family Systems-Level One (IFS Institute)
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) 
  • Online and Telephone Counselling (Counselling Tutor)
  • Narcissistic Abuse 
  • Anger Management 
  • Menopause Training

My first session

Prior to the first session, I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation. This gives you a chance to share your concerns, ask any questions, and for me to see if I can help you.

At the first session, we will explore in more detail, what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the sessions. I will ask you for some background information about your general health and wellbeing. It’s natural to be nervous at this stage, but I will do my best to make you feel at ease. You do not need to prepare in any particular way before you attend the session.

The first session will give you a sense of how we would work together. If you want to continue with therapy, we will then discuss the number of sessions that may be suitable and any other practical details.

If you would like to arrange a free 15-minute telephone consultation, please contact me. The best way is to email gatewaycounsellingwm@protonmail.com. I attempt to respond within 24 hours (except weekends).
