About me and my therapy practice

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by past experiences? You may be ready for change, but sometimes the ways we’ve learned to cope—often unconsciously and for good reason—can begin to limit our ability to live fully and authentically.

I’m an Integrative Relational Therapist based near Leeds City Centre, offering a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space to explore whatever is on your mind. I work with adults on a range of issues including anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship challenges, faith and spirituality, identity issues, and life transitions.

My approach is both relational and experiential, meaning I place the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work and pay close attention to your emotional experience in the present moment. I believe healing happens through connection, and that therapy can be a powerful space for self-discovery, emotional regulation, and growth.

With more than 20 years of experience supporting women, young people, and families, combined with an MA in Integrative Counselling, I’m able to draw on a wide range of therapeutic skills and experiences to shape the work around what really matters to you. I work using a trauma informed approach and one that is culturally attuned.

Together, we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, supporting you to develop greater clarity, resilience, and a deeper connection to yourself. I provide a reflective, supportive and collaborative space, one that seeks to encourage self-compassion.

If this resonates with you and you're considering therapy, I warmly invite you to get in touch.

Practice description

I offer therapy in person and my practice is close to Leeds City Centre. 

I also work remotely, offering support in a way that is safe and convenient for you. This can be done via video call or over the phone. 

I also offer therapeutic support through text messaging for those with privacy concerns and who might want to articulate their thoughts and feelings in this way. It is my priority to create a safe space for you where you feel able to share without reservation. 

My first session

I offer a free no obligation initial consultation to discuss what brings you to therapy and to see whether we would be a good fit. This will also be an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about our work together, including my approach. In our first full session together we will discuss our therapy contract, identifying in more detail the issues you would like to bring, any relevant history and will look collaboratively at goals you may have for our sessions together.

If you feel that you would like us to work together, please get in touch. 

I am bilingual and offer therapy in both English and Bengali, including Bangla grammar and the Sylheti dialect.
