You might be here because
-
You feel caught between cultures, identities or expectations
-
Anxiety is taking up more space than you'd like
-
You're grieving a loss or change
-
You struggle with self-worth or people-pleasing
-
You're trying to understand who you are
-
You feel different, disconnected, or like you don't quite belong
If any of this resonates, you're welcome here.
What does culturally responsive mean?
Many people worry they'll spend therapy explaining their culture, family expectations or experiences of migration before they can even begin talking about themselves.
My aim is to create a space where those parts of your life don't need to be translated before they can be understood.
Even if we share aspects of identity or background, your experience is yours. Culture is dynamic. I'm here to listen and learn, not to make assumptions.
I worked as a trainee counsellor at Headstrong Counselling, a specialist service that has delivered culturally responsive therapy to over 10,000 clients. There, I received dedicated training and supervision in culturally responsive practice.
This sits alongside my MSc, CPD in Cultural Competence, and my own lived experience as a Nepali-British person navigating the third space.
Inspired by Homi Bhabha's idea of the Third Space, this practice holds a place for those who live between cultures, identities, and ways of being.

Not sure if this is right for you?
It’s completely normal to feel unsure before starting therapy.
You don’t need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out before getting in touch. We can simply start with whatever feels most present for you right now.
I offer a free 20-minute introductory call by phone or video. This is a gentle space for you to ask any questions, share a little about what’s bringing you to therapy (only what you feel comfortable with), and get a sense of whether working together feels right for you.
There’s no pressure to continue. If it feels like a good fit, we can arrange your first full session. If not, I can support you in thinking about other options that may suit you better.
Get in touch
Reaching out can feel like a big step, especially if this is your first time seeking therapy.
You’re welcome to send a short message about what’s bringing you here. I’ll reply within 48 hours.
“It is the in-between space that carries the meaning of culture. By exploring this Third Space, we may emerge as the others of our selves.”
