My journey has taken me from Cambridge-educated engineer to banker to charity founder to integrative therapist—and at the heart of it all has been a search for authenticity, meaning, and inner freedom.

As a first-generation British Asian, I often felt caught between cultures. That early sense of being split shaped my path—from a career in finance across the UK, Asia, and Africa, to founding Educating the Children (ETC), a charity that has empowered over 5,000 young women in East Africa to break free from cycles of poverty, FGM, and early marriage. It was about offering others the choice and freedom to define their own life- — and it taught me as much about listening, limits, and humility as it did about service.

That same theme runs through my therapeutic work today: supporting clients to recognise and loosen internalised “shoulds” — from family, culture, or society — and to reconnect with their own voice, values, and sense of agency. Along this path, I explored a range of depth psychological and contemplative traditions, including Jungian psychology, Buddhist psychology, meditation, and carefully held psychedelic work. I approach these not as belief systems, but as frameworks for understanding how consciousness develops, destabilises, and integrates. I see psychedelics as one potential tool within a much wider psychological and spiritual context — meaningful for some, at certain moments, but never a substitute for ongoing integration, relational work, and ethical discernment.

This journey ultimately brought me to Psychosynthesis psychology, which now forms the core of my therapeutic approach. I believe therapy is not about fixing what is broken, but about freeing what has become constrained. My role is to walk beside you as you move from survival to self-leadership, from fragmentation toward integration, and toward a life that feels more aligned, meaningful, and real.
