Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the pressure to hold everything together? Many women come to therapy feeling exhausted by self-criticism, anxiety, depression, body image concerns, or the weight of trying to meet everyone’s expectations. If this is where you find yourself, I want you to know you’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.
I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences without judgment and begin to understand yourself in deeper, more empowering ways. Together, we look at the patterns, relationships, and inner narratives that shape your daily life.

I believe gaining insight is vital, but it often isn't enough to create real change. Many people understand their patterns — they know where the anxiety comes from, where the anger started — and they're still stuck. That gap between knowing and shifting is where this work lives. It can be especially hard to ask for help when everyone around you relies on you as their anchor. I work with people carrying anxiety, trauma, addictions, self-esteem concerns, anger, relationship challenges, intrusive thoughts, and more — meeting you where you are, and working towards a path that truly feels like yours.

Over the years I’ve had the honour of sitting with people in some of their most vulnerable, tender moments where words are heavy, or hard to find. Time and time again, I’ve witnessed how powerful it can be to simply tell your story. To be heard. To be seen. To not be rushed through your pain. To not be asked to shrink it into something more digestible.
Kahaani Counselling Services was born from this knowing – that each person carries a story worth honouring.

There are many times in one person's life where one seeks support and information with resolving personal and psychological difficulties. Seeking counselling at this time will help break isolation and improve coping more effectively and quickly. Finding a good fit with someone is important to the success of the journey. I am trained in Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) where a client directs the counselling relationship by the feedback they provide. I believe in the right FIT and relationship between client and counsellor to be of great importance in helping a client in counselling.
