Are you tired of wondering if and when things will get better? Working with me offers more than just coping strategies, it is a space for real healing and growth. Are you carrying the weight of past experiences that still affect your present life? You may feel broken, stuck, or like no one truly understands what you’ve been through. Perhaps you experience flashbacks, dissociation, emotional numbness, panic, or sudden shifts in mood that feel out of your control. You may have already tried therapy, self-help, or coping strategies, but still feel as though the impact of trauma lingers beneath the surface.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, or another emotional difficulty, I offer a welcoming and understanding space where you can begin to make sense of what you’re going through. Many of the people I work with describe feeling overwhelmed by their thoughts, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or weighed down by self-criticism or painful memories. Others find themselves disconnected from who they are, unsure how to move forward after loss or change. Whatever you’re facing, I will meet you with empathy and respect - helping you to find clarity, relief, and new ways of coping.

I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, such as ongoing anxiety, behaviours that feel hard to stop, or difficulties around sex, relationships, or shame. Many people I work with sense that something isn’t right, and may even understand why, but feel frustrated that this hasn’t led to real change. My approach is calm and collaborative, focused on understanding what’s driving these patterns and supporting you to think things through and decide what feels right for you.

Many of the people I work with are struggling with questions of faith, identity, and culture, often alongside a loss of meaning or a fractured relationship with belief, responsibility, and self. I work with people who want to understand themselves properly, not just manage symptoms. Experiences such as religious trauma, diaspora identity, internalised racism, and racial trauma sit at the centre of my work. My role is not to offer quick fixes. It is to help you think clearly about your life, your history, and the patterns you find yourself repeating, especially the ones you already recognise but cannot shift.

I work with adults experiencing PTSD, trauma, phobias, fear-based avoidance, panic and anxiety (including OCD) that impacts daily functioning, confidence and quality of life. I offer evidence-based support using EMDR and CBT. This ensures therapy is focused, effective, measurable and tailored to achieve meaningful, lasting change. Recovery from trauma and anxiety often involves more than talking in a therapy room. Together, we work to reduce fear, rebuild confidence and help you to re-engage with situations, environments or activities that may feel overwhelming or restricted after difficult experiences.

If you’re caught in cycles of anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or people-pleasing, this work helps you understand why — and how to change it. We start by looking at where you are now: what’s not working, what’s keeping you stuck, and where you’d like to go. From there, we create a practical, personalised plan using brain-based tools, emotional insight, and evidence-informed strategies to shift the patterns underneath the surface to reduce anxiety and overwhelm, build self-confidence and clarity, break unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. This isn’t about quick fixes or crisis support. It’s steady, supported change.

I’ve been a client twice, the first time for over 2 years. So I understand how hard it is to be vulnerable and open up to someone. I also know that therapy can make a big positive difference in our mental health and relationships, by helping us discover who we truly are, work through tough feelings from the past and present, and be ourselves, unapologetically. I’m familiar with feelings like sadness, guilt, shame, anger, and anxiety; these are part of being human. Therapy helps us recognise these feelings, name them, and learn ways to manage them. I offer counselling in English, French, or Arabic.
