As neurodivergent or highly sensitive people, growing up in a world that doesn't consider our experiences can leave us with trauma that we are left to deal with.
I draw on integrative approaches such as IFS (parts work), humanistic, and psychodynamic, to help you uncover the inner systems that cause overwhelm, self-doubt, or burnout. Whether you’re wrestling with depression’s heaviness, anxiety’s “what ifs", or the impacts of neurodivergence, we’ll collaborate to turn this into insight and growth.

My specialisms are trauma work, working with people who have a diagnosis of BPD and culturally adapted therapy.
Hi there! I’m Aneela. Life can be difficult, busy, and messy, which is why we all need support from time to time to deal with it. Our emotional health is an important part of our overall health, so when that is affected other areas of our lives are also. It affects how we feel about ourselves, others, and the world around us - so I'm glad you've stopped by. Therapy can give you power over your circumstances rather than them having power over you. Therapy can be an important part of taking care of ourselves, so we are better able to understand what’s going on for us. I would love to be a helping hand in this process for you.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. So, let me share a little about myself. Not just the credentials, but who I am and how I show up in this work, to help you get a sense of whether we might be a good fit.
In our sessions, we may talk through your feelings, explore beliefs you’ve been carrying, or look at patterns that no longer feel helpful. There’s no quota you need to meet to start therapy. You don’t need a ‘right reason’ to be here. Therapy can be a space to breathe; it’s a genuine and honest conversation between two people to make sense of your experiences and what they mean to you.

I am passionate about helping people struggling with all forms of anxiety, including OCD, PTSD, social anxiety, phobias, panic attacks.
You may be successful but your worries and tendency to go over worst case scenarios in your head are so hard to control. Perhaps your anxiety is making it difficult for you to sleep well, relax, causing problems in your relationships, or bringing on panic attacks. You may have been coping by trying to block the worries out or avoid the situations that trigger your anxiety, but this is only making it harder for you to be present in your life and relationships the way you want to be. I'm here to help and let you know that you can learn to live life in the moment and learn to trust in your coping skills again.

with Trauma.
Do you feel on high alert, experience anxiety, depression, maybe have racing thoughts, don't feel good enough and struggling to sleep. I can help you to feel calmer, lighter more connected to others, confident as well as feeling more in control. Life can feel so exhausting when you are overwhelmed.
