Academic qualification
Master of Arts, Psychology
Postgraduate degree in psychology, covering developmental, clinical and social psychology, research methods and psychological assessment.
Therapeutic training
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Certified training in the CBT model: identifying thought patterns, testing them against evidence, and changing the behaviour that keeps them in place. Used most often for anxiety, low mood, overthinking and panic.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Certified training in DBT skills: distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness. Used where feelings escalate faster than they can be managed.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Certified training in SFBT, a short-term approach that works forward from what is already working rather than backward through what went wrong. Used for decisions and life transitions.
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT)
Certified training in REBT, working directly on rigid beliefs and demands, including the shoulds and musts that show up strongly around family duty and achievement.
Coaching qualification
Certified Executive Coach
Coaching certification applied to leadership, performance, career decisions and burnout in senior professionals. Coaching is a separate service from psychotherapy and is not a substitute for it.
Supervision
Practises under clinical supervision
Clinical work is reviewed in regular supervision with a senior practitioner. Supervision is standard practice in psychotherapy: it protects the quality of the work and gives client material a second set of professional eyes, without identifying details leaving the room.
Languages sessions are held in
English, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Kashmiri. Sessions can move between languages mid-conversation, which matters when the feeling only exists in one of them.
