Why Choose Me?
My Journey to Becoming Your Therapist
Originally trained as an accountant, my life took a dramatic turn after a near-death experience and a severe accident. The ordeal shifted my focus, leading me to become more human and emotion-focused. As I learned how the brain works, especially while coping with lower limb immobility, I delved into understanding different cultures and languages, earning a Master's in Linguistics. This path eventually led me to the world of psychology.
Now, I've got a fancy Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapy. Currently, I'm on the never-ending rollercoaster of completing my research work in Psychology program because, hey, who needs sleep when you've got a passion for learning and researching the weirdest corners of the human mind?
I absolutely love training trainee therapists, diving into research, and bringing therapy to different minds and settings. As the self-proclaimed resident psychology witch at Greenwich University and a monster tutor at Therapy Works, I’ve had the sheer joy of guiding wide-eyed students and budding therapists through the wonderfully messy labyrinth of psychology. It often feels like being a magician in the lecture hall, pulling theories out of thin air, conjuring “aha!” moments, and watching as concepts click into place like pieces of a jigsaw. Someone’s got to keep the Freudian slips in check, after all!
But my passion doesn’t end in the classroom. Beyond teaching, I’ve worked across diverse therapy landscapes, everything from inpatient facilities and private practice to volunteering with Karachi’s most unforgettable characters, from inmates to members of the vibrant LGBT community. Each encounter has been its own adventure, proving that healing and self-discovery look different for everyone and that’s the beauty of it.
And research? Well, that’s my secret spellbook. Whether it’s exploring relational dynamics, cultural perceptions of mental health, or the games people play in everyday life, I’m endlessly fascinated by how psychology weaves into our lived experiences.
So here I am, ready to stir the cauldron a little more... mixing theory, practice, and a dash of humour to bring the magic of psychology to you too. Buckle up, buttercup, the journey’s just getting started!

Life Coaching
Why did I choose to become a Life Coach?
Well, after my own life-altering experiences, I saw firsthand the power of resilience, self-discovery, and personal growth. These moments ignited a passion in me to help others navigate their own challenges and unlock their potential. I wanted to provide the same kind of support and guidance that helped me through my darkest times.
Life coaching, to me, is not just about setting goals and achieving them; it’s about the journey of self-exploration and transformation. With my background in integrative therapy, I can offer a more comprehensive approach. Integrative therapy blends various therapeutic techniques to address the emotional, psychological, and behavioral aspects of an individual. This holistic approach ensures that we look at you as a whole person, not just a set of problems to be solved.
Incorporating goals and solution-focused therapy into life coaching means we don’t just talk about your issues; we actively work on practical strategies to overcome them. These methods are incredibly effective in helping you move from where you are to where you want to be. As a therapist, I have the skills to delve deeper into any emotional blocks or past traumas that might be holding you back, which is an edge over regular life coaches who might only focus on the present and future without addressing the root causes.
Achieving my Master Practitioner certification from the American Board of NLP and Hypnotherapy in 2018 was a pivotal moment in my career. This training provided me with advanced techniques to help clients reframe their thoughts, overcome limiting beliefs, and tap into their subconscious to make lasting changes. It’s like having a direct line to your inner world, allowing us to make profound shifts that align with your conscious goals.
The combination of my therapeutic background and life coaching skills means you get a tailored experience that addresses both your immediate needs and deeper emotional well-being.
