Pronouns – She/Her

I have been a practicing counsellor for over 10 years supporting adults, Children and Young People (CYP). My initial training was in the person-centred approach which is grounded in the belief that each person holds the capacity for growth, healing, and fulfilment. I now also draw on Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques when helpful—offering practical tools to support change, build resilience, and gently challenge unhelpful patterns.

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? You’re not alone—and there’s space here to find clarity and calm. I offer a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where you can explore what’s on your mind at your own pace. Together, we’ll navigate your journey with empathy and respect—supporting your healing, no matter your background or story.

I have navigated the highs and lows of life grief, anxiety, neurodivergence, depression and more – each shaped by the unique lens of cultural and ethnic identify. These personal journeys have given me deep empathy and a grounded understanding of what it really means to struggle and to heal.

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and abide by its ethical framework. I am enhanced DBS checked (Disclosure and Barring Service) and work with children, young adolescents and adults. Sessions are available in English, Urdu, or Punjabi, ensuring language is never a barrier to being heard.

Reaching out can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to have everything figured out — I’m here to listen and support you in finding what feels right for you. My goal is to make counselling feel relatable, safe and empowering.
