My approach to therapy includes building upon clients’ strengths and existing resources, as well as helping them cultivate and identify new resources to manage the challenges they are experiencing.

I speak English, Hindi, Sindhi and basic Cantonese.

As a professionally trained counsellor, I believe that we all have resources within ourselves to make changes for the better. I have helped many clients to find these resources to overcome struggles with addictions, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, grief, relationships, parenting and marital issues.

They are offered guidances and insights to gain deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships and their patterns of behaviour.

I work with individuals and couples who feel out of sync and stuck in their current patterns. This is usually a consequence of multiple layers built up over time, and I work with clients to tease apart and understand the various processes contributing to the current disarray. Gaining this awareness is the first step to slowing down the cycles and creating space for change.

Life can come with a few challenges, and it’s no wonder we feel overwhelmed sometimes. It’s okay to not feel okay, and we can go through this together. I am committed to improving the overall wellbeing of others, and my passion stems from my belief that everyone deserves to be heard, supported, and empowered to live their best life. Following a person-centred approach, I offer an empathetic and non-judgemental space, and my practice is informed by evidence-based interventions such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Positive Psychology.

Change is uncertain and stressful as it is. Our body and emotions may respond in a way that is overwhelming and confusing. I can imagine how daunting, isolating and stuck one may feel. I hope to help you understand what your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and body are trying to communicate to you. You can learn more adaptive ways of understanding and coping with your circumstances. With practice, it is relieving to reclaim your bandwidth and time to rest and pursue meaningful goals.

I can help you if you are seeking relief from symptoms which may include anxiety, depression, and/or negative thinking. I believe people want to flourish and realize their full potential. Many clients strongly suspect their mental state is something that can be improved through therapy, but actually seeking it out can be difficult for a number of reasons. I wholeheartedly agree that the main goal of therapy is to identify obstacles a person may have towards flourishing and then finding ways to eliminate those obstacles (which often appear in the form of false beliefs, or fear stemming from family of origin and life experiences)

I have been working with clients of all ages facing situations that result in a significant strain in their mental and physical health. For client who wants to find purposes in their lives, need to make difficult decisions, suffer from emotional distress, or struggle with coping, my session is a safe space of unconditional support to work on any issues. Regardless of whether the matter may be related to external events like relationship conflicts or internal conditions such as depression, anxiety, grief, or self-esteem, together we can not only move past the issue, but move forward in a more positive direction.

We all encounter a degree of adversity at some point - often many points - in our lives. Whether this adversity involves stress, loss, transition, trauma or general uncertainty - you don’t have to navigate these difficult circumstances on your own. I specialise in guiding my clients through these periods, by first establishing stability; and then working towards growth and greater resilience. Our focus might be developing new coping/relationship/interpersonal skills; building insight in to how early trauma or past experiences may be impacting you; or reconnecting to your sense of self and meaning/purpose, among other things.
