As a Clinical Psychologist, I’m trained to a doctoral level or equivalent and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). This means I have extensive training in assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based psychological therapies. I work with a wide range of emotional, relational, and mental health difficulties—often including more complex or long-standing issues.

While terms like therapist and counsellor are widely used, they are not legally protected titles in the UK. These professionals also offer valuable support, often through talking therapies, but their training routes can vary in length and depth.

In short:

Clinical Psychologist – Doctorate-level training, HCPC-registered, able to assess and treat a broad range of mental health conditions.

Therapist/Psychotherapist – Varying qualifications, may be registered with bodies like UKCP or BACP, focuses on emotional wellbeing through talk therapy.

Counsellor – Typically supports with more immediate or short-term challenges, often using a person-centred approach.

All of these roles can be helpful—what matters most is finding the right fit for your needs.

I take an integrative, holistic approach, combining scientifically-backed interventions like CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and EMDR (Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing), with mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies. This allows me to provide individualized relationship therapy, grief counseling, and support for mood disorders.

My work is rooted in a social justice and anti-oppressive lens, with a particular focus on decolonizing therapy within the South Asian community, including individuals and couples from Indian, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Pakistani, and Sri Lankan backgrounds.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples struggling with:

• Depression, Anxiety, and OCD

• Codependency

• Relationship challenges and Couples Therapy (including ADHD-related relationship struggles)

• Grief counseling and support through loss

• Addictions and Trauma (including intergenerational trauma)

I do not work with clients experiencing suicidal ideation, self-harm behaviors, personality disorders, or eating disorders.

This varies from person to person. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (6–12 sessions), while others may choose longer-term work.

Following our initial assessment session, I'll typically recommend the most suitable session frequency and duration for your specific needs. We'll review your progress together regularly.
