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, and Mindfulness-based Therapy. 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.
