A Culturally Sensitive Approach
As a South Asian clinician, Hinal specialises in working with individuals from South Asian and minority backgrounds. She understands the impact cultural identity and intersectionality can have on mental health, and she offers a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood.
How She Works
Hinal’s approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in evidence-based practice. She works alongside her clients to identify the patterns that keep them stuck, and to develop practical, sustainable strategies for change.
