Deciding to incorporate therapy into your life is a brave and empowering choice. Therapy aims to give purpose to your life, and you don’t have to do it alone; a dedicated and highly skilled therapist will support you. As your therapist, I will offer you a confidential space to explore what's pushing you down or holding you back in life. Together, we can identify what prevents you from developing and maintaining fruitful and enduring relationships. Being Accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) proves my commitment to working in accordance with the BACP’s Ethical Framework.

Clients who work with me tend to feel stuck, anxious, or uncertain in their relationships. They are confident in other areas of life, yet when it comes to love - dating, long-term partnerships, or breakups - they find themselves caught in doubt, fear, and frustration. For individuals, this can look like replaying past relationship patterns, blaming themselves after heartbreak, or wondering if childhood experiences, career focus, or even habits like porn use are getting in the way. Some struggle with trust, jealousy, or believing that they’re “the problem” in the relationship.

You’re someone who’s capable and caring, yet anxiety, trauma, or old patterns keep pulling you off-centre. Perhaps you’re navigating inner-child wounds, low self-esteem, habit loops or emotional overwhelm—and you want lasting change, not quick fixes. I offer a safe, warm, non-judgemental space for adults, children and young people. My integrative, client-centred approach blends the insight of psychotherapy, the structure of counselling and the rapid-change tools of cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy to help you regain calm, clarity and confidence. Based in Harrow, North West London, I also work online across the UK.

You’re the one who keeps it together for everyone else—but inside, you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or just not feeling like yourself. You’ve been coping for a while, but now you’re ready for real change. Maybe you’re stuck in patterns that no longer serve you overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, or low self-worth. Or you’re carrying past pain that still affects you today. You don’t want a quick fix. You want to understand what’s going on, feel more in control, and reconnect with who you really are. You’re ready to talk, even if it feels a bit scary. You want a space where you can be honest, feel heard, and start healing.

I work in a safe space where my clients can learn to understand their thought processes and why they feel the way that they do. I then use psychological models, my training and experience to tailor strategies for each individual to help that person to work towards his/her goals for personal change, growth and self-development. My work is goal-oriented and is evidence-based. I employ personalised techniques that enable clients to understand what blocks them from reaching their potential, and then help them to achieve the life that they want for themselves. My experience thus enables me to work flexibly/empathically & ethically sound

With over 11 years of clinical experience, I work with Turkish-speaking children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming with intense stress, anxiety, or relationship difficulties. Living in another country can make it even harder to find a safe space where you can truly express yourself. At this point, having a therapist who speaks your own language can make a meaningful difference.

I am a Counselling Psychologist with prior experience in investment banking and the creative industries. Being British Chinese, I bring nuanced insight into the bicultural experience—identity, inherited racial shame, belonging, and family expectations—while my Buddhist practice cultivates a grounded presence. My clients are high-achieving professionals who appear accomplished yet often feel exhausted, self-critical, and overextended, struggling to sustain healthy and enduring relationships. The “tyranny of should”—that inner voice urging you to do and prove more—drives perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic dissatisfaction.

I understand that seeking therapy can be both comforting and daunting, but it can also be liberating and I commend individuals who reach out for help. Our pain can often be a message that there is something amiss in our lives, and I believe it is important that we listen to that message. Whether you are dealing with a difficult time in your life and need help managing the emotions and thoughts, I aim to assist individuals to better understand the relationship between their feelings and thoughts and explore ways to change maladaptive patterns.

Asian Counsellors

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.

How can I recognise an effective Asian therapist?

You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?

A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?

The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
