I currently have availability  Wednesdays and Fridays and other evenings.

I'm a Person-Centred counsellor, which means our sessions follow your lead. You bring what matters. We go at your pace. Therapy, at its heart, is a relationship and that is where the real work happens.

I grew up in Nepal and trained as a counsellor in the UK. Living between cultures, languages, and identities shaped me, and it shapes how I work. My practice is built around what's sometimes called the 'third space': that in-between place where many of us actually live.

My foundation is Person-Centred therapy, and I draw on a range of approaches to fit what you need. My ongoing MSc in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy includes:

• Expressive therapy, creative ways to explore what's hard to say out loud
• Compassion Focused Therapy, for when your inner critic is loud
• Trauma-Responsive Mindfulness, gently noticing how stress shows up in your body, at a pace that feels safe
• Bereavement and Loss, including disenfranchised grief: the losses that don't always get acknowledged

I bring all of this together in a way that makes sense for you.

My practice, The Third-Space is for anyone navigating identity, belonging, and the experiences that live in the grey areas. I have particular experience supporting individuals from global majority backgrounds, young people, LGBTQIA+ clients, neurodivergent individuals, and those living with anxiety and depression.

What does culturally responsive mean?

It means I don't come into the room thinking I already know you.

Even if we share aspects of identity or background, your experience is yours. Culture is dynamic. Identity shifts. 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.

I offer a free 20-minute introductory phone or video call. This is simply a chance for you to tell me a little about what brings you to therapy, and for us both to get a sense of whether we might work well together. If it feels like a good fit, we can book your first full session. If not, I'm happy to help you think about what else might suit you.
