II’m a registered BACP Psychotherapist trained in an Integrative approach, which means I adapt, tailor and integrate the therapies to meet each individual’s unique needs and goals. If you are feeling overwhelmed and need a safe compassionate space to explore your feelings and make sense of it together, I am here to support you. I specialise in ACT and CBT which are approaches that builds a behavioural model tailored to help you understand what’s been keeping you stuck and support you to take practical steps towards a more meaningful, connected life. I am also trained in Person-Centered and Psychodynamic therapies.

Therapy with me offers a calm, supportive space while also gently encouraging movement toward what matters to you. I work at a pace that respects your rhythm, helping you manage your anxiety, low mood, and emotional overwhelm, and gentle encouragement to take meaningful steps toward valued aspects of life, even when this feels difficult.

Along with behavioural approaches I take particular interest in culturally attuned work. Before becoming a therapist, I experienced first-hand what it means to integrate into western systems while trying not to lose the language, values and relational depth of one’s roots. I understand the unspoken pressures: the responsibility to family, the weight of reputation. Individuals often balance these successfully on the outside, yet carrying complex inner negotiations about belonging, loyalty, identity and expectation. I have also lived in the Middle East, which has given me a deep, embodied understanding of Middle Eastern and Persian cultures alongside South Asian and British contexts. I understand that there can be moments of feeling fully at home and moments of feeling subtly “othered,” sometimes all in the same day. I also understand what it is to adapt without wanting to assimilate. This is the lens I bring to my bi-cultural work.

My approach helps you move beyond:
• Control disguised as “respect”
• People-pleasing framed as duty
• Perfectionism tied to performance and family honour
• Burden of familial expectations
• Imposter feelings despite success
• Poor boundaries justified as obligation
• Guilt for choosing your own wellbeing

For many of my clients, therapy becomes a space where they no longer have to translate themselves. A space where different parts of their identity can coexist—without explanation, justification, or compromise.
