I work primarily in a person-centred way. Person-centred counselling focuses on understanding you from your own perspective i.e., the lens in which you view the world.

The way I work with each client looks slightly different because I adapt my approach depending on your personality and needs. A core belief that I always bring to our work is context matters.

My approach is always collaborative. We explore what feels important to you at a pace that feels comfortable. I listen, make connections, and ask questions to help deepen our understanding. Sometimes I may gently challenge you by offering new perspectives, but rather than impose certain viewpoints or ways of working, I like to check in with you and decide together how to move forward.

Issues I have and currently work with: Abuse, Anger, Anxiety, Bereavement, Confidence, Cultural Issues, Depression, Identity, Intimacy/Sex, Relationships, Self-Esteem, Sexuality, Shame, Stress, Trauma. This list is not exhaustive.

Every individual's perspective is uniquely shaped by numerous influences, including cultural heritage, social position, and family dynamics. As a South Asian Therapist, I bring a deep understanding and appreciation for cultural nuances to my practice, recognising how these distinct backgrounds fundamentally inform our experiences.

If I feel that your issue is not within my limits of ability, I will communicate this with you and where appropiate, make a referral to ensure you get the help you need.

Everyone is different and how much you get out of counselling depends on how open you are, and how deep you’re willing to go. Sessions are usually held on a weekly or fortnightly basis and this can be can work short-term or open-ended.

I usually recommend an initial 6 sessions to give therapy a chance and allow our work to evolve.

You may find that short-term therapy was enough or you may choose to continue in an open-ended way. It’s up to you.

Because of this, I have an open-door policy. If you decide to take a break from therapy at any point, you’re welcome to return whenever it feels right for you.

If you’re new to counselling, it’s completely normal to feel a bit unsure what to expect. On the surface, it is essentially the client (you) and your counsellor (me) talking. On a deeper level, it is an open exploration of your issues in a safe and empathetic space through honest, reflective conversation. The key part is to trust the process.

Chances are, if you have a concern and it’s brought you to this website, you could most likely benefit from counselling. But if you’re not sure, book a free phone call. We can discuss what’s going on for you and how counselling may be able to help.

The fear of being "found out", judged, or private information being shared is a common fear. Let me put your worries at rest from the start. Counselling sessions are your safe space. There is no such thing as a silly question or feeling. You will be treated with the utmost respect. There are a few legal limitations to confidentiality but I will explain this in our first session.

Our therapy sessions stay between us – whether you choose to discuss it with others is down to you.  You are in control of the process.

In an effort to make counselling more accessible, I offer an allocated number of sessions with concessionary rates for those on low income or unemployed. Proof is required. Please contact me for more information.

I work with adults and children individually. Please note that I do not offer couples counselling at present.

No problem! Please drop me an email, or fill out the contact form and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
