Maybe you are at a point where you wish to understand yourself and your reactions to difficult life events such as trauma, discrimination , loss or illness. Perhaps you are wanting to develop a better relationship with yourself and would like more respect and reciprocity in your relationships with others but feel unsure how you might put this into place? Healing and growth can both exciting and scary. But if you are open to learning from setbacks and making helpful changes, then progress is possible.

I believe the therapeutic journey is something that we create together. There is not a "one size that fits all" or one method that works for every person. It is important that the therapy is tailored and beneficial to you as an individual. It can be really challenging to even reach out or look for support, I offer a free consultation call with all enquiries, please feel free to drop me an email to organise yours.

The same goes for those with neurodivergent family members or partners.
I offer a safe and confidential space and a therapeutic relationship to explore what's pushing you down or holding you back, to help you move forward from difficult experiences, and to gain more freedom, ease, and creativity in your life. As a UKCP accredited integrative therapist with a background in psychology obtained in the US, I hold a balance between different theories and therapy approaches in line with your needs. Where appropriate, we can integrate EMDR to help you process trauma and stuck experiences, within a holding therapeutic relationship. I work with individuals and with LGBTQ couples both short-term and longer term.

I am a Clinical Psychologist specialising in anxiety, low mood, trauma, and attachment-related difficulties. Many of my clients have experienced challenging past events that continue to shape how they feel and relate to others, leading to excessive worrying, self-doubt, repetitive relationship patterns, or difficulty regulating emotions. Others deal with constant "what ifs" and often avoid uncertain situations. I offer a thoughtful and supportive space to explore these difficulties, understand their impact, and work towards meaningful change. I am trained in a range of therapies, such as CBT, systemic, and psychodynamic approaches.

I am a systemic psychotherapist and relationship coach specialising in RLT couples therapy. I work with couples who are stuck in patterns of conflict and disconnection and want to find ways to change them. No couple is the same, however it is common for couples to come to therapy when they may be considering separating, taking the next step in their relationship or repairing a significant rupture between them. Whatever the reason that may bring a couple to therapy, I work confidentially with you to explore your unique dynamics, the issues and contexts that underpin them and develop new ways of relating to yourself and your partner.

Therapy is a space for you and about you. It's a space to understand yourself, explore self-awareness and self-regulation, and navigate complex experiences. I am curious about you and your inner world - through communication and reflection, we build a space to uncover it. My aim is to create a safe therapeutic relationship to help you heal through connection and authenticity. Being a queer Indian therapist allows me to comprehend balancing identities and moving between spaces that don't always feel welcome. Self-compassion can be hard when social structures are not made for you. Your unique experiences are welcome here.

I have worked as an NHS therapist for Lambeth Talking Therapies, and within the charity sector providing counselling for the parents of neurodivergent children.
Life can be a difficult and painful experience that leaves us disconnected from who we are. Therapy can help us understand, reconnect to and develop our relationship with ourselves. Deep within all of us, there lies a profound and powerful drive to grow. No matter who we are, what we do or how we live, there is a part of us that is striving to flourish, to thrive, to become.

Often childhood experiences, unconscious thoughts and conflicting inner forces can affect our mental well-being in a negative way, causing symptoms such as stress, anxiety, detachment or depression. Through exploring patterns of thought, feelings and relationships, both past and present, we can understand and resolve these issues leading to greater self-awareness, personal growth and change. Together we will speak freely about whatever comes to mind with the aim of addressing defences and removing blockages that may have developed over time and are hindering your ability to feel whole and lead a fulfilling life.
