Sometimes life can look okay on the outside while you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. As a South Asian therapist who grew up in Surrey, I understand the cultural and family pressures that can come with balancing your own needs while trying not to disappoint others. I often support clients with people-pleasing, boundaries, self-criticism, family dynamics, and feeling stuck between who they are and who they feel expected to be.
I offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, exhale, and feel genuinely heard. Together, we can explore patterns that keep you feeling stuck, build healthier boundaries, and find ways to respond to stress with more self-trust and clarity. I often support clients with anxiety, self-criticism, family dynamics, burnout, and relationship stress.
You don’t need to have the perfect words or a clear plan before starting therapy. We can begin exactly where you are. If this feels like the kind of support you’re looking for, you’re welcome to reach out and see if we might be a good fit.
