Individual Therapy

Transform your life now

I work primarily with South Asians in the UK who are generally high functioning, but looking to break through some specific traumatic incident/s or mental health issues that is holding them back.

- My clients are committed to transformational change and ready to invest in their mental health for long-term, sustainable outcomes.

You may have had depression, anxiety, trauma or OCD - but a label does not need to hold you back. Together we will work through your experiences taking into account your cultural context and inner resilience.

Its time to turn your adversity into your strength.

Specific conditions I can help you with:

  • Depression

  • Anxiety - Panic Disorder, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Social anxiety disorder, Phobias

  • OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

  • Addiction - individual and family therapy

My approach to therapy

As an experienced specialist clinical psychologist, I use several evidence-based approaches to help clients work through and heal from their experiences.

For depression and other mood disorders, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns and promote positive change. When working with anxiety, including social anxiety and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), I integrate CBT with mindfulness-based techniques to improve resilience and emotional regulation.

For OCD and phobias, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a highly effective method for reducing avoidance behaviours and intrusive thoughts. In cases of addiction and codependency, I take an integrative, multi-modality approach with a systemic perspective, working with both individuals and families working towards long term, sustainable change.

For complex trauma and PTSD, I use Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help reprocess distressing memories and restore emotional balance.

My therapy approach is tailor-made to suit your specific needs. We will usually discuss the best combination of approaches for you in the assessment session.

Not every therapist is the perfect fit. I am NOT the right therapist for you if:

While therapy does give relief in the short term, I have found the most effective way I work tends to be over a longer term, with the opportunity to develop a meaningful relationship with my clients. Unlike other ‘services’, therapy is usually deep, transformative work and requires a level of commitment.

However, I don’t believe in keeping someone stuck in therapy just for the sake of it. If we believe its time to move on, hurrah! We will celebrate this together.

I believe in collaborating with you, and expect you to work WITH me to achieve your goals.

I believe in showing up authentically as a clinician, and this includes challenging you when I think is therapeutically appropriate.

Therapy is a commitment which I take seriously, and I expect you to as well. I take on a limited caseload of clients to be able to provide a specialist service while taking the time to carefully plan a tailored approach. I expect that you will read through all the information provided beforehand and budget for our sessions accordingly.

If at any time you don’t want to proceed for any reason, I am happy to discuss referral options.

The term ‘therapist’ is not a protected title in the UK, meaning anyone with little to no training can call themselves a therapist. ‘Clinical psychologist’  is a protected title. This means that as an HCPC registered clinical psychologist, I have met all the strictly regulated standards of proficiency, training equivalence and have a professional duty of care. I know some amazing therapists and coaches but my fees reflect the specialist nature of my work.

Not everyone may need or want a clinical psychologist, and I understand that. I am happy to provide further referrals as appropriate.
