About me

Life at times can be overwhelming. The challenges of our lived experiences, childhood trauma, financial constraints and relationships can get the better of us. For those struggling, it is not always easy to seek help. Like many, I  have experienced overwhelming emotions of grief, loss, heartbreak, and anxiety. But I have also experienced joy, happiness, and contentment. Healing can begin when you acknowledge the hurt, or anxiety, or sadness, or anger and allow yourself to explore the journey of self-awareness. What I have learned is not to shy away from the emotional discomfort but to (1) create space for it, (2) to understand it,  (3) and to heal through it.

I am here to offer my support by taking a trauma informed holistic approach where counselling sessions are designed to assist individuals navigate the daily stresses of life while incorporating tools to build resilience and coping strategies.

While every counselling session is unique, my approach to counselling emphasizes on collaboratively:

    • Establishing trust and safety
    • Understanding the issue
    • Developing and implementing an Action plan
    • Identifying strengths, skills and coping strategies
    • Feedback and Follow Up

I leverage a Trauma Informed Lens and utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. Counselling services can be offered in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Bengali.
