Hello & Welcome

I work with individuals navigating complex identity shifts, cultural transitions, and personal transformation. My work—spanning coaching, psychoeducation, and academic research—is deeply informed by existential thought, liberation psychology, and trauma-sensitive approaches.

I believe that healing begins when we make space to examine both our personal experiences and the larger forces that shape them. My approach is collaborative and reflective, offering a space where you can explore your story with curiosity, compassion, and critical awareness.

What I Offer

Through coaching, psychoeducation, and workshops, I support individuals seeking to understand their experiences and develop resilience. Whether you are confronting transitions, cultural dislocation, or complex personal narratives, my role is to guide you through these moments with insight and care.

My work is particularly attuned to those experiencing grief and loss, parenthood, cultural displacement, identity shifts and uncertainty, as well as the impact of historical legacies, intergenerational trauma, and systemic inequities on personal well-being. Together, we explore the interplay between personal and collective narratives, helping you cultivate clarity and agency in your life.

Professional Background

I hold an MSc in Existential Psychotherapy Studies, and I teach at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling (NSPC) London, where I lead modules on:

• Working with Ethnic, Racial, Religious, and Other Cultural Differences

• Gender, Sex, and Sexuality

• Families and Systems Therapy

• Social, Cultural, and Ethical Issues

• Conflict and Reconciliation

• Theories of Personal Change

I also supervise psychotherapy students engaged in auto-ethnographic research, a methodology that bridges personal experience with scholarly analysis to illuminate the intersections of psychology, culture, and lived experience.

I am a member of The Accrediting Board of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (ABCAP )and abide by their ethical principles, as well as a member of the European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ESTSS), ensuring that my work remains informed by current research and best practices in trauma care.

How We Work Together

My approach is collaborative and exploratory—I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to help you uncover deeper self-understanding and navigate challenges with confidence. Our work is not about “fixing” but about making space for reflection, insight, and growth.

I create an open, thoughtful space where we explore the stories you carry—personal, familial, and cultural—and how they shape your present experiences. Through our sessions, you can begin to make sense of the tensions between selfhood and cultural inheritance, between autonomy and belonging, and ultimately find ways to live more authentically and with greater ease.

Whether in one-to-one coaching, group facilitation, or workshops, I offer a structured yet fluid process that supports both deep personal inquiry and practical strategies for change.

A Global Perspective

Having lived and worked in nine countries across five continents, I bring cultural and linguistic fluency to my practice. I am fluent in English, German, French, Urdu, and Hindi, allowing me to offer culturally responsive support to those navigating intercultural tensions and identity complexities.

About Me (Beyond Work)

I have spent my life moving between worlds—geographical, cultural, and psychological. Born on the longest day of the year, I grew up in the interplay of multiple traditions: German influences in a South Asian context, British and American education, and the ideological frameworks of religious life. I have lived in Pakistan, Germany, France, Afghanistan, Tanzania, the US, Spain, Australia before settling back in London, UK.

My home is a lively mix of my Australian husband, two endlessly curious daughters, and our deeply non-judgmental German Spitz. Life has made me a firm believer in the power of stories—especially those we carry in silence, waiting to be named. I also embrace the radical act of rest, rejecting the pressure of relentless productivity in favour of reclaiming time, space, and the freedom to simply exist.
