Life can be incredibly heavy, and sometimes the ways we’ve learned to cope just aren't enough anymore. Whether you are navigating the suffocating fog of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, or the complex layers of identity and trauma, I am here to hold space for you.
Our journey begins by gently identifying the specific hurdles you are facing. Then, we will create a personalised treatment plan—one designed specifically to help you reclaim your life and feel like "you" again.

Hi, I’m Flora, an accredited Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I specialise in relationship with self and boundaries, neurodiversity, parenthood and family dynamics, bereavement, uprooting and relocation, and life transitions. I understand that life can sometimes feel deeply lonely — no one experiences things exactly as we do. In therapy, I seek to understand your experiences as they genuinely feel to you, to ease the pain of loneliness, offer gentle insight into how past experiences may shape your patterns of feeling, acting, and relating, and explore the possibility of change and growth together.

I am a fully qualified psychotherapist, registered member of UKCP and both a member of the Black African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN) and the Psychotherapy & Counselling Union (PCU).
As someone who experienced a profound alignment to my artistic path and community in recent years after what felt like a lifetime of painful trial and error, I am particularly invested in helping individuals who wish to self-actualise any frustrated creative potential or uncover a calling. The transpersonal aspect of psychotherapy deals with a spiritual dimension of the human experience (not necessarily one that is religious) and in this capacity I hope to assist with people undergoing spiritual emergency.

You may feel stuck, overwhelmed or caught in patterns that no longer seem to make sense. Perhaps you're constantly overthinking, struggling with anxiety, finding relationships difficult, coping with grief or facing a significant life transition. You may even know what you want to change but have no idea where to begin.
I work with adults, including university and international students, who are looking for more than symptom relief. We will explore how your thoughts, emotions, behaviours and relationships connect, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

Hello, I'm Zareeda and I work with people on issues ranging from rape and sexual abuse to stress, bereavement, anxiety and depression. If you are struggling to find meaning in life you may be feeling disconnected from yourself and/or those around you. This loss of contact with yourself, your needs, values and beliefs may decrease your trust in your ability to form and build meaningful relationships and achieve personal goals.

As a bilingual therapist in English and Vietnamese, I offer a reflective and compassionate space where clients can explore identity, belonging, trauma, and life transitions.

My clients are often thoughtful people who have spent years coping rather than understanding. They may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, ADHD, autism, or feeling stuck in patterns they cannot fully explain. Many arrive feeling overwhelmed, self critical, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we make sense of the experiences, relationships, and coping strategies that have shaped their lives, helping them develop greater clarity, self compassion, and confidence to move forward in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

Drawing on 20 years’ experience, I see therapy as a space to come to know yourself more deeply and with care. When emotions are met with curiosity rather than fear, they often feel less frightening and overwhelming - life feels richer for it.

I value forming genuine, compassionate relationships & believe we understand one another through our shared humanity. When we feel truly met & accepted as we are, meaningful change becomes possible.

FAQ - Asian Counselling
What can an Asian therapist help with?
An Asian therapist can help with the same concerns as any other therapist, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and major life transitions. How an Asian therapist can make the experience feel different, however, is the possibility of shared cultural understanding. If you identify with a background such as Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, working with a therapist who shares or understands aspects of your culture may help you feel more comfortable opening up on such topics.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language can play an important role in therapy because people often express emotions, family dynamics, and personal experiences differently depending on the language they are speaking. For some individuals, working with a therapist who speaks their native language, whether it be Hindi, Punjabi, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, or another language, may help sessions feel more natural and emotionally connected. Even if you are fluent in English, certain thoughts or feelings may still feel easier to communicate in your native language.
How can an Asian therapist support couples counselling or family therapy?
Cultural background can play an important role in couples counselling and family therapy, particularly when family expectations, communication styles, generational differences, or cultural traditions are influencing the relationship. An Asian therapist may help partners and family members navigate these topics with more cultural understanding and less need to explain the context behind them. For multicultural or multilingual families, a Asian therapist who is bilingual may also help ensure that each person feels heard and understood during sessions.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Asian clients?
If cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask prospective therapists whether they have experience working with clients who share your cultural background or speak your preferred language. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might also ask whether they have worked with clients experiencing concerns related to identity, intergenerational conflict, family expectations, or cultural stigma around mental health.
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.
