My work is informed by principles of gender, sexual and racial equity. My practice is grounded in principles of inclusion, actively serving BIPOC, CALD, and LGBTQIA+ communities, applying Anti-Oppression framework and a trauma-informed lens. My work is helped by the fact that I am fluent in Urdu, Hindi, and English. I offer individual and relationship counselling for people from 21 years upward, for issues, including anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, sexual wellbeing and relationships. My work is guided by principles of gender, sexual, and racial equity. I am committed to inclusion and actively support BIPOC, CALD, and LGBTQIA+
The psychological interventions I employ include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment Theory and the Poly Vagal Approach.
Psychotherapy offers a collaborative process aimed at addressing your concerns and promoting personal growth and well-being. Through empathetic and non-judgmental conversations, psychotherapy provides a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
