About

I currently have availability for in-person sessions in London (Bank or Bloomsbury) and remote sessions. I also offer EMDR therapy intensive sessions for 3-6 hours over 1-2 days, on Fridays/Saturdays. With over 15 years experience working with mental health, I have supported many people on their path to recovery. My main therapeutic approaches are cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR). I specialise in working with depression and anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, phobias, body image issues and perfectionism. As a British Indian psychological therapist, I am deeply aware of how person’s cultural identity and life experiences shape their beliefs, values and coping mechanisms, and that intergenerational trauma can have a lasting impact on mental health. With a culturally sensitive and empathetic approach, I work collaboratively with clients to understand and navigate the unique intersections of their cultural background with their mental health needs. We will work together to identify the unhelpful patterns leading to your distress and open up new ways to help you cope better with life’s inevitable challenges. Our sessions will be tailored to meet your individual needs. As a therapist, I am compassionate and solution focused, to support you in reaching your goals and create lasting change. I offer therapy intensives, using EMDR, with extended sessions (3-6 hours over 1-2 days) to help you make meaningful progress quickly. This focused approach can be especially helpful for issues like PTSD, anxiety, low self-esteem and persistent negative beliefs. Ideal if weekly therapy feels too slow or you’re ready to work on something more deeply, without long gaps in between. I welcome clients who would like to work in-person with me in my consulting rooms in London (Bloomsbury or Bank). I also offer remote sessions via video link. Sessions are 50 minutes, £120 per session.
