I currently have limited availability for new clients. I offer online and face-to-face counselling sessions, with daytime and some evening appointments available. Sessions are 50 minutes long. Please contact me to discuss your needs and arrange a free 15-minute initial consultation. I will respond to enquiries as soon as possible, usually within 1–2 working days.

I work in an integrative and person-centred way, which means I do not believe that one type of therapy suits everyone. I draw on different therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred counselling, trauma-informed practice, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. I adapt the sessions according to your individual needs, personality, experiences and goals.

Our work may involve exploring past experiences, understanding current difficulties, recognising repeated emotional or relationship patterns, and developing practical ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Where helpful, I may introduce grounding, breathing techniques, journalling, behavioural exercises, self-compassion and strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, anger or overwhelming emotions.

I offer a supportive, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and feel genuinely heard. I will not pressure you to discuss anything before you feel ready. We will work collaboratively and regularly review your progress to ensure that therapy continues to feel helpful and relevant.

Some clients prefer structured sessions and practical exercises, while others need more space to explore their feelings and experiences. I can offer both, adjusting the balance as our work develops. My aim is to help you gain greater self-understanding, build emotional resilience and make meaningful changes that feel manageable and lasting.

I offer therapy in both English and Farsi and work in a culturally sensitive and inclusive way.

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, offering a warm, compassionate and confidential space where you can feel heard, understood and supported without judgement.

My private practice supports adults and young people aged 13 and over who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, panic attacks, low self-esteem, anger, relationship difficulties, stress or significant life changes. I also work with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck or unsure about how to move forward.

I understand that beginning therapy can feel difficult, particularly if you have not previously had a safe space to express your feelings. Our first session will focus on understanding what has brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain from therapy and how we can work together in a way that meets your individual needs.

I offer 50-minute sessions online and face-to-face. My practice is culturally sensitive and inclusive, and therapy is available in both English and Farsi. Sessions are tailored to you and may be short-term or longer-term, depending on your circumstances and therapeutic goals.

My aim is to help you understand yourself more deeply, develop practical coping skills and create meaningful, lasting changes in your life. I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation so that you can ask questions, discuss your needs and decide whether I am the right therapist for you.

Before booking your first full session, I offer a free 15-minute telephone or online consultation. This gives you an opportunity to briefly discuss what has brought you to therapy, ask any questions and decide whether you feel comfortable working with me.

Your first counselling session will last 50 minutes and is charged at my standard session rate. During this session, we will explore your current difficulties, relevant personal history, wellbeing, support network and what you would like to achieve through therapy. I may ask you to complete a short assessment or questionnaire to help us understand your needs and establish a helpful starting point.

I will also explain confidentiality, safeguarding, cancellations and how our sessions will work. You will have time to ask questions and discuss any concerns or preferences you may have.

There is no expectation for you to share everything in the first session. We will work at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. At the end of the session, we can agree on some initial goals and discuss the most suitable way forward, including the possible frequency and focus of future sessions. There is no obligation to continue if you feel that I am not the right therapist for you.
