Qualifications & Awards

Pronouns: She/Her
I am a fully qualified UKCP Integrative Psychotherapist, a certified Yoga Therapist and I have been working therapeutically with clients for over 10 years. I currently work in private practice and as a specialist psychotherapist for The Haven, an NHS acute trauma service for survivors of sexual violence and assault. I have a strong commitment to the discipline and practice of counselling and psychotherapy and along with my clinical practice, I work as a lecturer at Roehampton University and a Primary Tutor at the Metanoia Institute in London, training aspiring MA and MSc level psychotherapeutic practitioners. I am also a visiting lecturer and a clinical Yoga Therapy supervisor at the Minded Institute.
As a British therapist of South Asian descent, I approach my practice through a decolonising lens. I emphasise cultural sensitivity and an understanding of the impact of historical and systemic oppression on mental health. My aim is to create inclusive spaces where all clients can explore their identities and experiences, ensuring that therapy is both relevant and respectful of each individual's identity and cultural background.
