"Even the darkest nights bow down to the dawn. Trust that your emotions are simply the shadows trying to find their light; with patience, they will show you the way"

From time to time, all of us can use some emotional support in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space; a place to explore our experiences with a little support.  Finding the right person to help you through challenging times is the first and possibly most difficult step you will take in order to help yourself.  Whether it’s for something specific, or a complex mix of things, I aim to provide an opportunity for you to explore your experiences at your own pace guided by your intuition.  No one can know or understand you better than yourself, so it is important for you to be in control of your sessions.  I will be there with empathy, to help you look into any aspects of your life and experiences, as and when you are ready to do so.

I have worked with male and female clients from diverse backgrounds.   My experience includes helping clients with general life issues, parental legacies, bullying, current and historic grief from loss; stress and anxiety; self-harm and eating disorders; all types of domestic abuse and understanding and moving forward from childhood and recent trauma.

Apart from my counselling experience, I have a wealth of experience gained through an international career in as well as working with the Samaritans and Cruse Bereavement service.

I can offer online sessions through video or phone or talking while walking options.  Face to face sessions will be available soon.

I work in a person centred way, enabling you to explore the aspects of your life how and when you are ready, without pressure.  

I currently work with clients in English, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu, and have a good knowledge of Italian, in case you find it easier to express yourself in one of these languages.

I am happy to offer discounted rates to students, NHS staff and care workers.

I offer a free initial 20 minute, no-obligation chat.  During this, I will ask a few general questions about your needs, and you can ask me any questions you might have in order to see if we are a good fit for each other.  

After this, in case I feel you may be better supported by a different type of counsellor, I may refer you to someone else or a suitable agency.
