"We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world"
—Gabor Maté
A safe container for your healing and growth journey.
By working together, we will be able to heal old emotional wounds, uncover and understand patterns and behaviours that are no longer serving you, and replace these with newer and healthier ways to respond that help you to move forward.
I know both personally and professionally that it’s possible to move through your experiences in a healthier way, and even use them to better understand how you can live a more meaningful and connected life. It’s possible to start taking steps toward this now. You don’t have to settle for a life of struggle and dissatisfaction. Please don’t settle!
As scary as carving a new path for yourself may seem, it is completely possible and so so worth it.
Psychotherapy is a process of inner exploration, where you can begin to make sense of your experiences, identify areas for change in your life, and empower yourself to regain control of your inner and outer worlds so you can live a meaningful life.
It’s a safe space to process difficult emotions and experiences so you can become unstuck, build resilience, feel empowered to make lasting changes, and live more fully.
If you’re feeling stuck, maybe because of feelings of guilt, shame, or self-criticism, therapy can be the ideal way to work through these emotions. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and painful. Perhaps you’re tired of feeling depressed and frustrated with how things are going in your life or your relationships. Often this can be confusing and anxiety-provoking. Sometimes it feels impossible to shift these feelings, or you may feel like what’s going on for you isn’t ‘big enough’ to warrant support, and so you may try and just get on with it as best as you can. I’ve been there too. It’s a really difficult place to be in, but nothing you bring is too big or too small, and the good news is that you don’t have to continue to be stuck in this place.
compassion focused + trauma informed
My approach is non-pathologising, respectful of intersectionality
and I am committed to anti-oppressive values in my practice.
Healing from the inside out means you get life long results
As an integrative therapist, with 12+ years of extensive training, and 1000’s of client hours, I bring expertise from the following psychotherapeutic treatment approaches:
Humanistic and Person-Centred Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Trauma Informed Therapy
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Gender Affirming Therapy
Clinical Supervision
Coaching
Each person's situation is unique, and therapy is tailored to address your specific needs and concerns. Understanding the intricate web of your identity is a crucial part of the therapeutic journey.
Intersectionality in therapy is an empathic approach that honors all facets of who you are —your race, ethnicity, culture, gender, neurodiversity, and socioeconomic background— to create a more nuanced, safe and inclusive healing space. Here, your unique experiences aren't just seen; they're deeply understood. This approach allows us to explore how various systems of discrimination or privilege interact and influence not only your emotional well-being, but all your relationships and your whole life.
I am committed to providing culturally aware and racially informed therapy, valuing the importance of understanding and respecting your unique background and journey. My own rich heritage with Pakistani roots and my diverse experiences living in Pakistan, Dubai, Canada, and the UK allows me to offer a practice that is not only sensitive to the unique cultural backgrounds of each client but also embraces and celebrates diversity in all its forms. Additionally, my keen interest and experience in working with neurodiversity, including autism and ADHD, enable me to understand and address the unique challenges and strengths my clients bring, tailoring strategies to navigate their relationships and the world around them.
Finding a Therapist can be daunting and confusing. There are so many different types of Therapists and various modalities in which we practice.
It's really important that you find someone you can relate to, whose energy feels like the right fit and whose style of working aligns with what you need. Having worked in the mental health and wellness industry for over 15 years across Toronto (Canada) and England, within charitable, NHS, education, and private settings, I am confident I can support you in your healing journey —book in for an initial session so we can explore working together and you can experience what therapy with me is like.
