At The Purple House Clinic Leicester, we understand how overwhelming life can feel when you’re struggling with your mental health or your child’s well-being. Many of our clients come to us feeling anxious, low, stuck, or unsure where to turn. Others are coping with the impact of trauma, relationship struggles, or difficulties with eating or behaviour. What they all share is a hope for change - to feel calmer, more in control, and to reconnect with the things that matter most. We’re here to offer a safe space and expert support on that journey.

I work with people who are ready for meaningful, lasting change and want to understand the deeper patterns holding them back. Many clients come to me following trauma, abuse, difficult relationships, anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or years of feeling stuck in the same cycles. I also work closely with men seeking a grounded, non-judgemental space to open up and better understand themselves. Together, we explore subconscious beliefs, attachment patterns, and unresolved experiences to help you heal, rebuild confidence, develop healthier relationships, and move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and self-trust.

Welcome. I'm Haajira, and I specialise in Trauma-informed intercultural therapy. Together, we can explore concerns such as trauma, identity, anxiety, and the impacts of marginalization, with deep respect for your cultural, historical, and social background.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next — and you’ve likely tried to handle it all on your own.
My clients come to me because they want to understand why they feel the way they do, heal what’s been holding them back, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and purposeful.
Many of the people I work with struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or a sense that they’re “not enough.” Others are navigating big transitions; leaving a relationship, changing careers, confronting past trauma, intrusive thoughts or OCD.
They don’t just want coping skills; they want insight, grow

Practical help for anxiety and stress. Combining CBT and clinical hypnotherapy to help you get unstuck.
Anxiety has a way of making you feel like you are the problem. The constant worry, the avoidance, and the 3 AM spirals start to feel like evidence of who you are, what you're capable of, and what your life is going to look like. But that's just a story anxiety tells. You are considerably more resilient than the version of yourself that anxiety describes.
