As a British Punjabi Sikh therapist, I understand that our cultural, family and community experiences can shape the way we see ourselves and relate to others. Sometimes these experiences are a source of strength and belonging. At other times, they can leave us feeling misunderstood, torn between different expectations, or struggling to express parts of ourselves.
For some people, culture is central to what they want to explore in therapy. For others, it simply forms part of the background. Wherever you find yourself, we’ll work in the way that feels most helpful for you.
I’m an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, registered with the BACP, with an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and an MSc in Psychology. My approach draws on person-centred, psychodynamic and relational perspectives, recognising that each person’s experiences, relationships and history are unique.
Alongside my clinical work, my postgraduate research explored the psychological impact of navigating relationships, identity and cultural expectations within the British Punjabi community. This has deepened my understanding of the complex ways family, culture and identity can influence how we relate to ourselves and to others.
I offer a warm, thoughtful and collaborative space where you can explore whatever has brought you to therapy. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, identity, life transitions, grief or feeling stuck, we’ll work together to better understand what’s happening beneath the surface. My aim isn’t to offer quick fixes or tell you what to do, but to help you develop greater self-understanding so you can move forward in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you.
Because feeling understood can be the beginning of understanding yourself.
