Person-Centred Therapy is based on a premise that people are unique individuals and more than just the labels our families, friends, colleagues, and society have placed on us. I am interested in how you move around in the world, rather than me telling you how you should be moving around in it. I will support you in processing your individual experiences and exploring what they mean to you, so you can have a better relationship with yourself and the people around you.
Inspired by the work of Carl Rogers and the principles of Person-Centred therapy, my approach emphasises the importance of genuine connection, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. This therapy recognises the influence of societal structures and advocates for questioning traditional power dynamics, fostering equality within our therapeutic relationship. Together, we’ll explore how societal pressures and expectations impact your experiences and empower you to reclaim your voice. Ultimately, healing is both a personal journey and a communal one, where the importance of community and social justice is central. Therapy doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. Laughter is as welcome as are tears. Your whole self is welcome in our virtual room - whatever form that comes in.
My ideal client is anyone seeking support through challenging life circumstances, whether it's navigating relationships, dealing with loss, managing psychiatric disorders, or exploring personal identity. I work with clients who seek a supportive and professional environment to explore their emotions, build resilience, and develop healthier coping strategies. They value the therapeutic process, knowing that lasting change requires dedication and are ready to engage fully in the work we do together.
I specialise in creating a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship where we explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences together. You won’t hear me giving advice or telling you what to do because I believe you’re the best expert on yourself.
I was born in Bedford to Bengali parents, grew up on a diet of Star Trek in Birmingham, where I graduated with a BA in English and French. I started life in the Big Smoke as an environmental journalist, followed by other corporate-sector roles, to where I am now because of my enjoyment of building growth-promoting relationships.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
