We live in a complex world with many demands on us that affect our emotional wellbeing. Yet there is also a promise of creativity, satisfaction and growth in our lives. Individual therapy can help navigate our emotional blocks so we can experience contentment and satisfaction. Children experience distress that gets communicated either in their behaviour or their emotions. Yet behind every difficult behaviour is an un-communicated or unsatisfied need. Individual therapy can help give expression to the unsaid emotions and needs of children in insightful ways so they can continue to be curious, creative and playful.
I am experienced in helping adults, couples and children work through challenges to create lasting change and live fulfilling lives. My overarching therapy is client-led, client-centred and non directive. I offer culturally responsive therapy for Asian/South Asian couples and mixed culture relationships struggling with value differences.
We work collaboratively to achieve your therapy goals. I believe that every individual has within them their own creativity to work through these challenges and demands. I bring in all my experience and skills to help you access your own creativity, work through the barriers and experience contentment and satisfaction in life.
