I am a Counselling Psychology doctoral trainee working towards HCPC registration, with a background as an Assistant Psychologist at We Are Human Counselling and experience in both NHS (IAPT) and community settings. My work is shaped by my Iranian cultural background and a strong interest in identity, resilience, and the impact of social context on wellbeing. I take a collaborative, client-led and integrative approach, drawing on humanistic, psychodynamic, attachment-informed, and CBT-based models to support clients in exploring emotional difficulties, relational patterns, and coping strategies. I aim to provide a safe, compassionate space that balances insight with practical tools, helping clients develop self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful change. At the heart of my work is the belief that people have the capacity for growth, healing, and change when met with understanding, compassion, and respect. I see therapy as a space where clients can feel heard, supported, and empowered to reconnect with their strengths — even during difficult periods in life.
I place strong value on the therapeutic relationship and the importance of creating an environment where clients feel safe to explore vulnerable or challenging experiences without judgement. My work is guided by empathy, integrity, and a commitment to ongoing learning, reflection, and ethical practice.
