Much of my work centres on high-functioning professionals and young adults who may look composed externally but may be carrying complex inner tensions — chronic self-doubt, internalised shame, emotional distress, or developmental trauma — often shaped by growing up between cultures, generations, and expectations. I also work with those exploring sexuality, gender roles, and belonging within South Asian, religious, or conservative family and community contexts, where parts of the self have often felt unsafe to hold or difficult to name — including the particular pull between honouring where you come from and becoming who you are. My approach is relational, collaborative, and deeply compassionate, gently incorporating somatic work. I also work in Hindi and Urdu where helpful.

I hold a Master’s degree with distinction from the University of Edinburgh, where my research focused on Complex PTSD, and I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), currently working towards accreditation.

For me, working relationally means I am grounded in the belief that the therapeutic relationship itself can be reparative & transformative. Our relationships, with ourselves & others, quietly shape the way we come to know ourselves & move through life, often beyond our awareness. They can be sources of love, joy, & connection, but also of grief, fear & pain.

Therapy offers a space to gently untangle this inner world of relationships with care, depth, and compassion, so that what you carry can be more fully understood, felt, and held. We begin where you are, in the here and now, listening closely to both mind and body. I know how hard it can be to find a therapist who understands both your inner world and the cultural context you carry it in — I may not have all the answers, but I offer a warm, steady, and gently curious space to begin.
