A Registered Psychotherapist and founder of The Therapeutic Couch.

Welcome! I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist with a strong foundation in the field of counselling psychology. I am a South Asian therapist who has been working in the field of mental health for 8 plus years. I have experience supporting individuals and couples with relational/familial issues, anxiety, depression, grief and school related issues.

Coming from a Pakistani and Mulsim background, I understand the importance of creating a culturally sensitive and accepting environments. I deeply appreciate the significance of establishing a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic environment for my clients.

​

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, active listening, and collaboration. I believe that each person's experiences are unique, and I am committed to creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. I am experienced in working with clients from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and I deeply value the importance of cultural sensitivity in the therapeutic process. I recognize that your cultural context plays a significant role in shaping your experiences, and I am dedicated to honoring and understanding the intersections of your identity.

I believe in the power of collaboration between therapist and client. Together, we will work to explore your strengths, address your concerns, and set achievable goals that align with your values. My ultimate objective is to empower you to find the tools within yourself to overcome challenges and lead a more fulfilling life.
