Are you ready to step into the deeply authentic version of yourself?

Hello, I’m Raisa.

I’m a HCPC registered clinical psychologist with over 12 years of experience working across a range of settings with young people, adults, and families.

Most recently, I worked as the Lead Psychologist at a complex mental health inpatient hospital in London.

I come to this work grounded in my identity as a first generation immigrant and person of colour, and in lived experiences shaped by mental health struggles, generational trauma, shame, silence, and resilience.

I know what it’s like to be the “strong one.” I also know the deep exhaustion and loneliness that role often hides.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent years unlearning, grieving, and reclaiming. This work is personal to me. It’s not just what I do - it’s what I believe in.

With over 12 years of experience in mental health care, I hold space that is honest, non-performative, and deeply attuned. You won’t find quick fixes here - but you will find room for your full truth: grief, anger, chaos, joy, and all.

The kind of therapy I offer isn’t about fixing you.


It’s about meeting the parts of you that had to adapt, survive, and carry more than they should’ve.

I understand how complex trauma can be - especially when it’s woven into culture, silence, and generational patterns.

You were always told not to take up space.

This is a space for you.
Lets reclaim it together.

You might find yourself thinking:

“On the outside, I have it all together, but inside I’m constantly carrying guilt, shame, and anxiety I can’t explain.”

“I’ve spent my life trying to be the ‘good daughter’ or ‘good girl,’ but I don’t even know who I really am.”

“Setting boundaries feels like betrayal, especially with family”

“I carry wounds from childhood - from emotional neglect, criticism, or control - but I’ve never had a safe space to unpack it.”

“I don’t want to pass on these patterns to the next generation.”

What I Offer


This space is for those who:

  • Grew up as the emotional caregiver in their family

  • Feel disconnected from their own needs, desires, or voice

  • Want therapy that goes beyond surface-level “coping skills”

  • Are ready to explore grief, anger, boundaries, and cultural complexity

  • Crave depth, authenticity, and transformation - not just performance

Sessions are collaborative, warm, and grounded in real relational work. We go at your pace. We honour your story. And we do this together.

My Approach

I hold two Master’s degree in Psychology and Mental Health, and a Clinical Psychology specialisation, alongside extensive training in:

  • Trauma-informed therapy and attachment repair

  • Somatic and body-based approaches to healing

  • Culturally responsive practice

  • Mindfulness and nervous system regulation

  • Relational depth work

I continue to learn, unlearn, and evolve - guided by clinical integrity, embodied wisdom, and a deep commitment to decolonizing mental health care.

Am I the right therapist for you?

    • You’re tired of performing strength

    • You long for depth and honesty in your healing

    • You want a therapist who sees the whole of you -culture, trauma, identity, and all

    • You’re ready for the slow, brave return to yourself

  • If you’re looking for a short-term fix, prefer a solely directive approach, don’t want to be challenged, or aren’t ready to prioritise your mental health, we may not be the best match.

    The work I do tends to be deeper and longer-term, focused on building a meaningful, collaborative relationship. I show up authentically and will challenge you when it’s therapeutically helpful.

    If you’re seeking generalist therapy or coaching, that’s okay too - my role as an HCPC-registered clinical psychologist is highly specialised, and not everyone needs that. If we’re not the right fit, I’m happy to help you find someone who is.

  • Outside the therapy room, I live in London with two rescue cats who keep me on my toes. I’ve trained in Indian classical dance for over a decade, and when I’m not moving, I’m usually surrounded by my ever-growing jungle of houseplants - plant care is my version of meditation!
