“My work brings together professional psychotherapy and counselling, academic training and lived experience across cultures and languages. Having lived among different cultures and spoken different languages, I understand that each person’s experiences, values and way of expressing themselves are shaped by their background. This helps me listen without assumptions and offer support that is culturally sensitive, respectful and responsive to you.

A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing
Support begins with understanding the whole person, your experiences, relationships, emotions and aspirations.
As a clinical psychotherapist, counsellor and holistic practitioner, I combine evidence-based therapeutic approaches with yoga-informed practices and reflective wisdom. Each session is shaped around your needs, with care, respect and practical support.
Whether you are processing emotional challenges, relationship concerns or seeking greater clarity, you do not have to carry it alone. Together, we can work towards balance, resilience and meaningful change.
What to Expect
Counselling is more than just sharing your story, it’s about finding solutions and creating meaningful change. Together, we will explore your challenges, understand the root causes, and equip you with practical strategies to overcome them. To maximize your progress, I may recommend reflective exercises or curated reading materials between sessions, empowering you to take charge of your personal growth.
When You Contact Me
When you reach out through the contact form, I’ll ensure the process is seamless:
Once you book the first initial counselling session, we will together help identify your needs and determine the best approach for your journey.
Preparing for Your First Session
Feeling nervous before your first session is completely normal. Rest assured, my approach is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental. My goal is to help you feel at ease as we begin this journey together.
During the initial session:
We’ll conduct a detailed assessment of your current situation, challenges, and contributing factors.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions and share your goals for therapy.
If time permits, we’ll collaboratively outline a tailored plan for your healing and growth
Length of Therapy
The duration of therapy depends on individual needs and goals:
Many clients experience noticeable benefits after just a few sessions.
Research suggests that effective therapy often requires 5 to 15 sessions, though longer-term support is available if needed.
Following the assessment, we’ll decide together on the number and frequency of sessions that best align with your goals, schedule, and budget. Typically, sessions start weekly and are spaced out as progress is made.
