About me and my therapy practice

Sometimes the hardest step is reaching out. If you are reading this, you have already begun and I am here to walk alongside you as you find your way forward. As a psychodynamic and integrative psychotherapist I am especially interested in how our early relationships and life experiences shape who we become, leading to patterns of self sacrifice, difficulty with identity and sense of not fully belonging. My work focuses on helping you understand these roots, so that you can make sense of your story and find a stronger sense of self.

Whether you are navigating, loss, anxiety, depression, trauma or simply everyday challenges of life, the first thing I'd want you to know is that you don't have to carry everything on your own. I believe change begins the moment you feel truly heard, therapy with me is not about fixing you, but walking alongside you as you find your way forward.

I hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling, with further training in Integrative Therapy, CBT, and CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia). I work with adults from diverse backgrounds, including neurodiverse individuals, and offer sessions in English and Farsi.

In addition to my clinical training, I bring over 30 years of experience in the corporate sector and hold a BSc and MBA, where I mentored individuals through career development, leadership challenges, and professional transitions. This insight informs my work with clients experiencing burnout, workplace stress, and career-related difficulties.

I would be happy to have a free 15 minutes phone conversation with you so that you can get a sense of who I am and how we might form a therapeutic bond. Please contact me to arrange to speak at a mutually convenient time.

Practice description

Life can feel overwhelming, confusing, or isolating at times, and speaking with a trained therapist offers the chance to untangle those emotions, gain clarity, and feel truly heard. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, or personal growth, talking to someone who listens without judgment can make a meaningful difference.

Also known as talk therapy, psychotherapy is a collaborative process where we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Whether you’re dealing with a specific concern or a more general sense of unease, therapy can help you gain clarity and develop tools for lasting change.

Often the cause of emotional issues can be found in close, complex relationships - with family, partners, friends and even colleagues. Whilst therapy isn’t a silver bullet for resolving longstanding problems, it can be hugely helpful in changing your reflex responses to certain emotional triggers and reducing the frequency of conflict.

Short-Term Therapy

A focused, goal-oriented approach that helps you address specific concerns such as workplace stress, relationship issues, or sleep difficulties.

Long-Term Therapy

An in-depth exploration of past experiences, unconscious processes, and emotional patterns. Ideal for complex issues like trauma, identity struggles, and long-standing anxiety or depression.

My aim is to help you build emotional resilience, understand your inner world, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My first session

To decide if therapy is for you, I offer free 15 minutes call to discuss what you are hoping to achieve from therapy.

Once you have decided to proceed I will carryout an assessment which usually takes 90 minutes and is a chance for us to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. It helps me understand your experiences, challenges, and hopes, so we can shape the right support for you. It’s also a space for you to ask questions and decide whether this feels like the right fit for your journey.

I produce a report of the assessment which I can share with you, following the assessment the subsequent sessions are carried out weekly and are 50 minutes in duration.

Abuse, Adoption, Anger management, Anxiety, Bereavement, Body/somatic therapy, Business coaching, Career coaching, Cultural issues, Depression, Development coaching, Executive coaching, Identity issues, Leadership coaching, LGBTQ+ counselling, Life coaching, Loss, Personal development, Post-traumatic stress, Redundancy, Relationships, Self esteem, Sexual identity, Sexuality, Stress, Trauma, Work related issues
