About Me

Welcome to a warm and supportive space where you will embark on your journey towards healing and growth. As someone who has personally experienced the transformative power of therapy, I understand it takes courage and determination to take that first step. I believe that I can be a helpful companion on your path, making this process smoother and more comfortable for you.

As an integrative therapist, I offer a holistic approach that combines various therapeutic techniques and theories to meet your needs. I strive to create a genuine sense of empathy by understanding that each individual's journey is unique. I approach my work with a deep sense of awareness and compassion for the challenges you may face. By listening attentively and without judgement, I aim to connect with you on an emotional level.

As a British Asian woman, I am thankful for the rich diverse culture I have grown up in, I specialise in cultural differences, within the home, work, and community. I too have experienced my own challenges which I have learnt to grow around.  Let me help you navigate this ever-changing world we live in, together we can discuss where you are on your journey, to independently take the steps to live a more fulfilled and peaceful life. 

I am also passionate about supporting the Emergency Services, having worked in this sector in both a supportive and mentoring role for many years, I have a greater understanding of the pressures you face in daily life and the sacrifices you make each day as you continue to serve our communities. Counselling is offered at a reduced rate, for 50 minutes, please email me for more information and to book your Free 30-minute consultation. I accept referrals from Military Charities to provide ongoing support.

My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel understood, validated, and supported throughout your counselling journey. Together, we navigate through difficulties by working towards positive change and growth. I strive to create a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship, by placing greater emphasis on building trust and rapport, as I believe it is essential for effective counselling. I take the time to truly listen to your concerns, fears, and desires. Together, we work towards identifying and understanding the underlying issues that may be contributing to your struggles.
