I also draw on methods like CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Narrative therapy, Gestalt, and more - sometimes in obvious 'lets try this' ways, and sometimes more sublty.
Hello there! Thank you for taking a wee bit of time to visit my profile here in your search for a counsellor or psychotherapist. I'm grateful that you've taken this step in looking for support - getting started is often the hardest part of the process.
Life throws all sorts of shit at us and we're expected to crack on, but we're only human and sometimes we need a bit of a hand making sense of what we have been through so far. I offer a space where you are free to explore whatever you need to as your complete and uncensored self, and where we can work together to unpack and explore whatever challenges you are facing.

I offer empathy, unconditional acceptance, respect, genuineness and I will work with you at your own time and pace.
I know how daunting this first step can be. Reaching out for help from a stranger can be very nerve-wracking. However, during our time together we will build a trusting and supportive relationship, one that you may find solace in. I work with clients from all backgrounds and I offer support for adults and young people aged 11+. I support clients with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, trauma, relationship breakdowns, bereavement, self-harm, family conflict, women’s cultural issues, eating disorders and anger management. In particular, I am highly experienced in working within the south asian community.

I use a range of clinical models ( Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Schema focused therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, EMDR, trauma focused CBT, relational & attachment based approaches) to support the range of issues that can show up including, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, shame, relationship issues, PTSD, complex trauma, insomnia, OCD and burnout.
I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and have spent my career in Adult Mental Health services in the NHS, supporting people individually and in groups. My clinical practice aims to foster increased psychological flexibility to support becoming more emotionally open, cognitively flexible, aware in the present moment and actively engaged in a meaningful life. Between life’s busyness and navigating struggles we can become disconnected from ourselves and what matters to us, spending our days trying to cope rather than living. With compassion we can create a space, a gap within the struggle, to heal and reconnect with your life.

It's about creating an environment where you feel unconditionally accepted and you can practice that unconditional acceptance towards yourself.
I am an integrative Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) counsellor, working exclusively online. My main role as a counsellor is to help you connect with how you want to be in the world and to help us work together towards putting that into practice. I believe counselling can be of benefit to anyone who wants support with changing the way they relate to themselves and their environment. It could be, for example, that you are missing out on opportunities due to fear of failure, you feel stuck in a relationship, job, or friendship group, or that whatever you do never seems to quieten the cruel self-critical voice in your head.

I use an integrative and pragmatic approach, where I pull from different therapeutic modalities (CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic, Narrative, Existential) to help you achieve your current goals.
So often our difficulties make us feel stuck, bound in place. We can feel caught in a loop, and not know how to get free. We might even know what to do - but either can't seem to do it or it won't work. And sometimes we don't even know what is making us feel stuck and where to start. Problems with our health, mood, traumatic experiences, changes to our life circumstances like work or living arrangement, relationships, habits- any of these can make us feel stuck.
