Welcome!

I am an Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor (MBACP) with a Bachelor’s Degree (Honours) in Psychology and years of experience working in multinational organizations and community service. My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet your unique needs.

As a multi-lingual therapist, I am fluent in English and Urdu, allowing me to provide support in the language that makes you feel most understood.

My expertise covers a range of areas, including:

Depression and anxiety management

Stress reduction and resilience building

Relationship counselling (family and marriage)

Grief and loss support

Motivation, self-esteem, and confidence building

I also have significant experience in cancer support, having worked with Macmillan Cancer Support at Manchester Royal Infirmary and Healthbox GP referrals. Through these roles, I’ve helped patients and their loved ones navigate emotional challenges with care and understanding.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating a safe, open and a non judgmental environment where you can share your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Clients describe me as trustworthy, easy to talk to, and deeply empathetic—qualities I value in promoting growth and in healing.

Therapy is a journey—one that I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, professionalism, and evidence-based strategies

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
