Are you carrying something that's hard to name? A pattern that keeps repeating, like a merry-go-round you never chose to get on? That feeling of not quite belonging, or that pain that lives in the space between your body and mind? I walk beside people navigating the messy in-between of trauma, grief, identity and the quite influence of culture and faith. My approach weaves psychodynamic and existential frameworks with person-centred and somatic care - because healing happens when we honour the beautiful complexity of your mind, body and soul.
As a Doctoral Trainee in Counselling Psychology at Middlesex University (practising under supervision), I bring my own journey as a Kenyan Muslim woman of South Asian ancestry to understand how identity, faith, migration, and culture shape your inner world in ways that aren't always easy to name. This space was built for you to be who you are.
Clients often share that they feel gently held and understood here - like they can finally explore what's difficult to say elsewhere. I bring curiosity, humility, and deep presence to our work together. If anything here resonates with you, I'd love to hear what's bringing you to this moment. Reach out for a free 30-minute consultation.
