Many of the people I see are capable, dependable and doing well on paper. Underneath, they're anxious, exhausted or stuck, and few people guess how much they're carrying.
Therapy is a calm, confidential space to put it down, understand what's keeping you stuck, and leave each session with practical tools that help.
I was paying attention to people long before psychology gave me the language for it. During 15 years in leadership roles in Dubai’s marketing industry, I saw how often the most capable people quietly carry the most.
Today, I bring that understanding to therapy. My training includes CBT through the Beck Institute, with a focus on anxiety and depression, perinatal mental health through the Seleni and COPE Institutes, and trauma-informed care.
My approach is warm, collaborative and direct. I pay close attention to culture, family and the roles you carry, particularly in collectivistic cultures, where duty, loyalty and expectation can weigh heavily. Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck and build practical tools to help you navigate difficult emotions, communicate your needs and feel more confident in your choices.
I offer sessions online and in person, in English, Hindi or Urdu, and support organisations as a workplace mental health consultant.
Got a question? Let’s talkWho I work with
One-to-one therapy for adults who feel anxious, burnt out, low or stuck, often while still functioning well at work and at home. Many are professionals, parents or high achievers carrying more than they show.
Specialist support through one of life's biggest changes, from trying to conceive to the early years of parenting. My MSc research focused on burnout and perfectionism in mothers in Dubai.
Warm · Practical · CBT-led · Culturally-informed
My approach is CBT-informed and grounded in research. We make sense of what you're feeling, understand the patterns behind it, then work on small, practical changes that last. I pay close attention to culture, family and the pressures of life in Dubai.
Explore specialtiesCulture, family & expectations
Family roles, cultural expectations and responsibility can shape how we think about duty, guilt, independence, motherhood, relationships and what it means to be “good” at the roles we hold.
My approach is culturally informed, but not prescriptive. Therapy can be a place to look at the pull between belonging and autonomy, responsibility and resentment, loyalty and boundaries, and work out what feels right for you.

Look for someone trained in an evidence-based approach, with experience in what you’re going through, and who you feel comfortable talking to. I’m trained in CBT through the Beck Institute and in perinatal mental health through the Seleni and COPE Institutes. A free 15-minute call is an easy way to see if we’re a good fit.
Anxiety, stress, burnout, low mood, relationship strain, life transitions and the pressures of pregnancy and parenthood. You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to start; if something feels heavy, that’s reason enough.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviour keep each other going. Together we map what’s happening and practise practical tools you can use between sessions. It’s one of the best-researched therapies for anxiety, stress and low mood.
Stress usually eases when the pressure passes. Anxiety tends to linger: constant worry, a racing mind, trouble sleeping or a body that won’t switch off. If it’s affecting your day-to-day life, it’s worth talking about.
Feeling drained most of the time, detached or irritable, and less effective at things you used to manage well. After 15 years in senior roles and now as a workplace mental health consultant, I understand how quietly burnout builds in high-performing people.
Yes. CBT is one of the most effective approaches for low mood, and I’ve completed specialist CBT training in depression with the Transformation Institute.
Perfectionism often grows from what we believe others expect of us. It’s an area I’ve researched and work with closely. Therapy can help loosen those expectations so you can set standards that feel kinder.
Yes. I support women from trying to conceive through pregnancy, postpartum and the early years, including anxiety, low mood, difficult births and pregnancy loss.
The baby blues usually ease within two weeks of birth. Postpartum depression lasts longer and feels heavier: low mood, anxiety, guilt or numbness that gets in the way of daily life. If it’s been more than two weeks, it’s worth talking to someone.
Some worry is very common. If it’s constant or keeps you up at night, therapy can help you feel calmer and more in control.
Yes. My adult mental health work is for men and women: anxiety, stress, burnout, low mood and life transitions.
Yes. I run wellbeing sessions for teams in demanding, high-performance environments and offer one-to-one support for employees, including working mothers.
