I am an Accredited Psychological Therapist with over eleven years of experience providing trauma-informed therapy to adults, young people, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. My work has primarily focused on supporting refugees, asylum seekers, and individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, loss, and significant life transitions.
I offer a warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences safely and without judgement. My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing on relational, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based approaches to support emotional understanding, regulation, and resilience.
I offer therapy in both English and Farsi (Persian). Working bilingually allows clients to express themselves in the language that feels most natural and emotionally comfortable. I work online and aim to provide a supportive and respectful environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

My work has primarily focused on supporting refugees, asylum seekers, and individuals affected by trauma, displacement, loss, and significant life transitions.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s degree in Refugee Care, a specialist programme developed in collaboration with the Tavistock Clinic, focusing on trauma-informed and psychosocial approaches to mental health and wellbeing. I am an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS, Acc.) and a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS).

I have extensive experience working within multi-agency environments and have collaborated closely with organisations including Freedom from Torture, Women’s Aid, the British Red Cross, Migrant Help, Refugee and Migrant Centre (RMC), GPs, local authorities, schools, and other statutory and voluntary services. This experience enables me to work holistically, ensuring that therapeutic support is integrated safely within wider social, cultural, and safeguarding contexts.
My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, relational, and culturally sensitive. I aim to provide a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported in developing emotional understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.
