Therapy
A place to meet yourself
Seeking support can be a daunting and scary experience. It can be hard to admit that help is needed. I welcome you to think of therapy as another tool. Another way of overcoming present and past challenges and the hurt associated with them. I hope to be the person walking beside you, working with you in finding yourself and forming a deeper connection with your authentic self.
What I can help with
Areas of Support
I have experience in working with a range of issues, such as identity, religious trauma, alongside with complex mental health conditions such as psychosis and eating disorders. My experience means that I can help you identity the barriers you are experiencing in achieving your own personal goals, and a better and deeper understanding of your own self.
I also speak Urdu fluently and am able to provide therapy in it.
Individual Therapy
I offer one to one individualised therapy. I provide this in various formats, such as weekly, monthly or fortnightly. This can be either in person or online.
I charge £60 per session and offer a free consultation which could last from 20 to 30 minutes. with the aim of exploring what brings you to therapy and I can provide the help you are seeking.
My Approach
Pluralistic Therapist
I am a Pluralistic Therapist. This means that you are at the centre of our work. I consider you to be an expert of yourself. Collaboration is at the core of our work together. The methods and tools introduced would be done so through conversation with you.
Being an intersectional feminist and an anti-oppressive practitioner means that I understand the pain and distress caused by systematic and inter-relational harm. I then use that knowledge to help you contextualise your experience of hurt. Also ensuring that the psychological knowledge and support acknowledges your various identities such as race, disability, gender, sexuality and faith.
About Me
As a woman of colour I have lived experience on how culture and faith impact our sense of self. Having grown up in the UK, meant that I have embodied experience of what it means to be considered a minority in this country. I am an intersectional feminist and root my approach in anti-oppression. My background in complex mental health and gender-based violence means that I am aware of how harm occurs on both a systematic and inter-personal level.
