“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”

― Jalaluddin Rumi

Hello! A warm welcome to you.

I offer counselling to adults, both in person in London (W5) or online. Therapy can help us find a different perspective on life and its challenges, whether we are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, abuse, a period of transition, or feeling unfulfilled or stuck.

My approach is integrative, soulful, and relational. What this means is that I work intuitively, based on what you bring and what feels right for you, usually a combination of psychodynamic, humanistic, somatic, Jungian, and creative psychotherapy. I believe that therapy is about 'healing in relationship', so it is important first and foremost for us to build a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. It is this relationship which creates the conditions for your story and any healing to unfold.

I firmly believe we are all equipped with everything we need in order to help ourselves. Therapy simply helps us get in touch with our own conscious and unconscious resources.

I come with a varied background, having worked and trained in many different contexts and countries. I hold a BSc in Psychology, MSc in Neuroscience, MA in Performing Arts, and a BACP and UKCP accredited qualification in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling. I have lived in India, the United States, Spain, and the UK. I work in a creative and embodied way, often using images, stories, movement, dreams, visualisation and somatic exercises to unlock what may otherwise be difficult to express.  

My post-graduate research focused on evaluating drama-based therapies as a treatment for post-traumatic stress. I continue to have a passion for research alongside my counselling practice. I have a special interest in bereavement and grief counselling, and continue to support charities in this space.

Please do get in touch if you have been thinking about therapy. I offer short- term weekly sessions or longer term open-ended weekly sessions, depending on what you might need.

My practice is anti-oppressive and inclusive. I have a particular interest in working with diverse immigrant and cross-cultural experiences, and I strive to offer therapy that is culturally sensitive and responsive. I also offer sessions in Hindi for clients who feel more comfortable working in that language.
