Psychospiritual Therapy
A Warm Welcome
My Story
I came to this work through my own unravelling.
There was a time when I had everything that was supposed to make me happy - the education, the career and family, the culture's seductive promise that happiness lies in what we achieve. From the outside, I'd 'made it'. Inside, I felt hollow. I couldn't name what was wrong, but I felt it in my bones. How do you admit emptiness when you should be grateful?
In my quiet desperation, I went searching - for myself, for truth, for permission to want something different. For so long, I had looked for answers outside, to the external world, as I had no access to my own knowing, my intuition. My connection to myself had lain buried under the cultural and generational messages about who I should be and what I should want.
Therapy and contemplative practice became my way home, back to my body, my intuition, my voice.
I began to get curious about the stories I’d internalised, or had me almost hypnotised! Narratives around duty and loyalty, about being the ‘good’ daughter, mother, partner, about what it means to succeed and belong.
With the support of wise therapists and generous teachers, I started to welcome back the parts of me I had exiled - the ones I thought were too much, too messy, too tender. Slowly, I began to see that they were me too.
That recognition was the quiet alchemy that changed everything.
Everything I've lived through is what I bring to this work now. I know what it's like to carry generations of pain and slowly learn to lay the weight down. To navigate between cultures while longing for a place to fully belong. To achieve everything and still yearn for wholeness. To question your path and learn to breathe beyond the weight of guilt.
Because I’ve walked this path, I can truly see you. Not the version you perform, but the real you underneath.
I’m not here to fix you, because I believe you are not broken. I’m here to walk beside you as you find your way back to the home that was never lost, only forgotten.
My approach weaves trauma-informed psychotherapy with Eastern contemplative wisdom and Western psychology, body-based work, and a deep understanding of intergenerational and cultural wounds.
I was born in India, and now live in Cheltenham with my daughter and partner.
