About Me

What Makes Me Different

 

​My Indian family background combined with a Western upbringing allows me to connect with people from various cultural backgrounds in a therapeutic setting.

 

Therapy is a very personal experience. I recognise that each person is on their own, unique life journey and how challenges present themselves varies from person to person. There's no such thing as a challenge that is 'too small' to bring in to therapy - if it's impacting you it's important. 

 

I care deeply about providing you with a safe space to express your voice. I'll do my best to understand from your perspective the challenges you are faced with and how they are impacting you and your life. I aim to provide therapeutic support that resonates with you and meets your unique needs.

 

I am passionate about helping you to get back on a path on which you feel empowered to manage your mental health and direct your life in a direction that is meaningful for you. I genuinely believe that this is the only way for the benefits you experience through therapy to last beyond the therapy 'room' and for the long run.​

​

My Therapeutic Approach

​​

My clients often tell me that I have a warm, gentle, and compassionate approach. My practice is grounded in evidence-based principles, primarily drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Mindfulness-based Therapy and, more recently, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I believe in a collaborative process, working with you to understand the unique challenges you face and to develop practical strategies tailored to your individual needs. My aim is to empower you with insight, coping skills, and lasting tools, fostering resilience so you can navigate life's complexities with greater confidence and live a more meaningful life.

​

My Areas Of Specialisation

​

I offer compassionate and evidence-based support for adults (18+) experiencing a range of mental health concerns. My areas of particular focus and expertise include:

​​

• Trauma & PTSD

Providing sensitive and effective support for individuals processing past trauma, PTSD, or complex trauma.

I help you reduce distress, build grounding skills, and promote long-term emotional healing.

• Acculturation & Cultural Identity

Supporting individuals from Indian and South Asian backgrounds - as well as people from other culturally diverse communities - who are navigating immigration, acculturation stress, intergenerational conflict, or experiences of bicultural identity.

I offer a culturally sensitive, affirming space to explore these challenges with confidence and clarity.

• Anxiety & Stress Management

Helping individuals experiencing anxiety disorders (including GAD, social anxiety, panic attacks), OCD, chronic stress, or burnout.

Together, we work to develop practical coping tools, easy worry and tension, and regain a sense of calm and steadiness.

• Depression & Mood Concerns

Supporting individuals experiencing depression, low mood, emotional dysregulation, and mood episodes (including bipolar disorder).

My focus is on fostering resilience, strengthening emotional well-being, and supporting a return to vitality and engagement in life.

• Grief & Loss

Providing compassionate support for individuals going through grief, bereavement, or significant life transitions.

I help you navigate the emotional impact of loss, honour your experiences, and find pathways toward adjustment and renewed connection.

• Self-Esteem & Confidence

Empowering individuals to build self-worth, improve self-image and strengthen their sense of identity.

Together, we work to understand the roots of self-doubt, challenge unhelpful patterns, and foster greater confidence in your personal and professional life.

• Relationship Challenges

Working with individuals to improve communication skills, navigate relational difficulties, and strengthen healthier connections with themselves and others.

I help you explore patterns in relationships, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate more secure, meaningful interactions.
