It’s not just about addressing immediate concerns but about fostering personal growth, learning new perspectives, and making meaningful changes in one’s life. With over 15 years of experience in work industry were I counsel and encouraged a lot of people , I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from a wide array of cultural backgrounds and ethnic groups. This extensive experience has allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for the ways in which cultural and personal contexts influence mental health. I approach each client with a high level of cultural sensitivity and respect, recognizing that everyone’s experiences and challenges are unique. In my practice, I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual.

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process where you feel understood and empowered. My goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and work towards meaningful change. If you’re ready to embark on this journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to achieve your therapeutic goals and improve your overall well-being.

Hello and Welcome! I am a South Asian woman with lived experience as an economic immigrant, having navigated life across three culturally distinct countries and five cities. This journey has given me a unique perspective on the challenges and benefits of such transitions and a deep appreciation of the ways that race, culture, and religion intersect and influence our lives and contribute to the struggles we face. Growing up in a place with limited mental health awareness and resources, I have developed a profound commitment to making well-being central to every community. Coming from a large family and being surrounded by children of all ages has naturally fostered my ability to connect with kids at various developmental stages.

With seven years of experience, I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, parents, and families; helping them find the light within them. I strive to collaboratively and compassionately help my clients explore, discover, and embrace insight, resilience, and strengths they already possess to overcome life’s challenges, while healing and growing. I believe clients are the experts in themselves and take a non-expert, and non-judgmental stance to understand my clients’ lived experiences. I bring my individuality to my therapeutic work, and often use humor, silliness, fun and the power of ‘presence’ in the therapy room, allowing clients to feel safe and welcome to embrace their own true selves. I firmly believe that no one approach suits all clients and continuously work toward evolving techniques and tools to meet clients ‘where they are at’. I use a combination of Play Therapy, Sandplay Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Person-Centered Therapy. My work is informed by a neuroscience, attachment, and trauma lens and I believe a safe therapeutic relationship is the most important part of any healing journey. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive care and decolonizing mental health.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO. My qualifications include a BA in Psychology from McGill University Canada, and an MSc in Developmental Psychology and Clinical Practice from University College London (UCL) and Anna Freud National Centre, UK. I have also received training in Play Therapy from the Canadian Association of Play Therapy and Sandplay Therapy from the Association of Sandplay Therapy, USA. My expertise includes depression and anxiety in children and teens, childhood trauma, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem issues, school issues, and positive parenting. As a bilingual therapist, I offer services in English and Urdu.

As a counsellor, I truly believe that this journey is yours to navigate, and the right support in place can guide you to the best resources to help chart out your path. Therapy is your space to be a messy human. There will be times when I will push you, challenge you, and encourage you to stay the course, but we will do it side by side.

Although the work is not always comfortable (as change rarely is), you will find what you need to move forward or let go within a safer space of compassion and understanding. Together we craft a space that allows you to show up however you are and receive the support you need.

I specialize in supporting individuals and families navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, and perinatal (postpartum) concerns. I use a holistic approach to counselling, which means that we will look at all areas of your life, search for your resources, and in combination with tools drawn from solution-focused, mindfulness-based, and narrative therapies we will work through it together.
