Trauma and Couples Therapist in Stanmore, across London and Online
Are you ready to step into the deeply authentic version of yourself?
As Clinical Director of Nirvana Circle Therapy, I lead a small team of trauma-informed professionals based in London.
I started this practice after noticing a significant gap in how mental health services in the UK meet the needs of people from South Asian backgrounds. Despite the country’s diversity, support often overlooks cultural nuance. My work is rooted in offering culturally attuned, trauma-informed care for individuals, couples, and families—particularly those from diverse ethnic backgrounds—who want to break patterns, heal generational wounds, and live with greater clarity and intention.
What we bring to this space is both a deep understanding of cultural context and a strong clinical foundation.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over 12 years of experience, am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (UK) and hold chartered status with the British Psychological Society. Apart from my core clinical psychology training, I also have additional training in different modalities, including EMDR.
Over the last 12 years, I have trained and worked in a variety of different settings, both in India and the UK (including rural settings), with young people, adults and families, and most recently held the post of Lead psychologist at an inpatient complex mental healthcare hospital in London.
I work with individuals and couples looking to actively break intergenerational patterns of dysfunction, take ownership of their life choices, build resilience, and tap into their cultural strengths. If you're seeking to break free from unhealthy attachment patterns and are committed to breaking the cycle of generational trauma, I see you! If you consider yourself a 'cycle-breaker' - we'd be a GREAT fit!
Many of the people I work with identify as 'cycle-breakers'—those consciously choosing to do things differently in their relationships, parenting, and inner lives. They are not just seeking to cope, but to understand and transform longstanding patterns rooted in family dynamics, attachment, and cultural history.
I have brought together a team of like-minded highly skilled professionals. Me and my team are especially committed to serving individuals from racially, culturally, and spiritually diverse backgrounds. We understand the complexities of navigating mental health within cultural contexts, and we hold space for that with care and clinical skill.
If you're navigating complex attachment dynamics, generational trauma, or the weight of unspoken family legacies - and you’re ready to do the deeper work - I welcome the opportunity to support you.
I currently offer extended-format therapy sessions for individuals and couples who are seeking more intensive, focused support.
In addition to therapy, we also provide a range of psychological assessments, including ADHD evaluations, to help clients gain clarity about emotional, cognitive, and behavioural challenges.
These assessments are offered in a thoughtful, non-pathologising way, especially for those who have felt overlooked or misdiagnosed in the past.
