Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your true self? Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, or relationship challenges, you may sense that something deeper is holding you back. Often, unresolved childhood experiences—no matter how small or significant—can quietly shape the way we show up in life, love, and decision-making. As an Integrative Therapist I use combined Psychodynamic, person centred, CBT, Psychoeducation, Transactional anaylysis & Hypnotherapy. Alongside other Tools and Techniques used are NLP, Art Therapy, Islamic Psychology & Rapid Trauma Release Techniques.
I bring over a decade of experience to the table. At just 22, I founded CrystalReflections, developing and delivering personal development programs for schools and institutions. After studying further I established InnerReflectionTherapies a private practice offering comprehensive Mental Health Wellbeing services to Youth and Adults from diverse backgrounds.
My focus is childhood and past trauma to help individuals clear old emotional baggage so they can live at peace within themselves by creating a safe space for expressing, exploring key themes holding you back whilst also providing coping tools, techniques &stratagies to work through your current life issues and the impact its had on your mental health.

I support clients whose past or childhood trauma—big or small—still affects their present. In EAP work, I saw trauma often left unaddressed. My approach connects the dots of each client's journey, helping them process the past so they can live with greater clarity, emotional freedom, and hope for a better today and future.

I use a holistic, client-led approach. In our first session, I assess which therapies—CBT, Psychodynamic, or others—will best support the client's needs. This allows me to tailor a plan that's flexible and relatable, adjusting focus as needed to ensure the journey feels personal, empowering, and effective.
