About me and my therapy practice
I believe our role as therapists is to empowers individuals from any backgrounds to better understand themselves, build resilience, and gain confidence to reach out and find the best support for them. This is a collaborative process.
I am of mixed South Asian heritage. As a British person of mixed heritage, I can truly empathise with identity crises, lack of belonging and the complexities of growing up in non-nuclear families. This has had a profound impact on my therapist identity.
My background has provided me a deep understanding of transitional life stages, relationship challenges and the complexities of identity including; race, gender identity, sexuality, and neurodiversity. My previous career in education has proven that each person has their own struggles, internally and within the wider society, which require differentiated care. I strive to understand the impact this has on mental wellbeing.
I am a humanist in nature and practice. Human life is precious. Consciousness needs cherishing and nurturing. I celebrate each of our complex differences and value the unique stories individuals bring.
My approach is integrative, drawing from 3 main approaches. Psychodynamic Theory to explore how past trauma have impacted your current relationship patterns. This solidifies our understanding of how past connect to present behaviours and attachments. Tractional Analysis provides a framework to understand how our life scripts have formed our beliefs and expectations. Perhaps the most significant of the modalities I draw from is Person-Centred Therapy which relies heavily on the therapeutic relationship. This means I put you and your needs at the centre of the work always. You are the expert of your own life, I am here as guidance to foster self-growth and healthy communication. We will explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment always.
Together, we’ll work to uncover the root of your current struggles and create a path forward toward your self-actualising aspirations.
Practice description
Consultation
This 10-minute consultation call is a brief, informal conversation to get a sense of what’s bringing you to therapy and to feel out the relational fit—whether you feel comfortable and whether the style of working feels right to meet your needs. We’ll talk a little about what’s going on and what support might look like with no pressure to commit.
10 mins | Free
Full Session
This is a dedicated 50-minute space, online or face-to-face, to process your thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns patterns, with support and curiosity. This operates on a long-term basis focusing on building insight into any insecurities and worries that have arisen, guided by what feels supportive to you.

My first session
In this initial session, we’ll take time to explore what’s brought you to therapy and begin building a picture of what you’d like to get out of the process. This includes an initial assessment, where we’ll talk through any current challenges, relevant history, and what’s most important to you right now. We’ll also start identifying the goals and outcomes you’d like to work towards—whether that’s managing anxiety, improving relationships, processing difficult experiences, or simply finding more clarity and balance.
It’s a chance for us to get to know each other and see if therapy feels like the right fit for you.
