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

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
