I am currently accepting new clients for online counselling and psychotherapy. Appointments are available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 10am until 11pm. Sessions take place on Microsoft Teams. I personally confirm each appointment before it is arranged. A free 15-minute introductory conversation is available so you can ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right.

Knowing what is happening does not always make it easier to change. You may understand a pattern and still find yourself drawn back into the same feelings, relationships or ways of coping. Depression, anxiety, loss and prolonged pressure can gradually affect how you see yourself, other people and the possibilities ahead.

Therapy gives us somewhere to understand what is happening without rushing towards an answer. We can begin with what matters most to you and give careful attention to the experiences, relationships and patterns shaping your life now.

You can expect me to listen closely, ask thoughtful questions and remain engaged rather than distant or silent. If I misunderstand something, we can talk about it. Your experience remains central to the work.

My approach is person-centred and relational, with specialist training in Interpersonal Psychotherapy for depression. This allows us to consider both your inner experience and the relationships, losses and changes surrounding it, including why insight alone has not always been enough to create change.

I work online with adults in Manchester and across the UK. I speak English and am fluent in Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi. I understand how culture, faith, family relationships, migration and generational expectations can shape a person’s life. That knowledge is available when helpful, while your individual experience remains our starting point. I welcome adults of all cultures, faiths and identities.

My work is informed by more than twenty years across NHS mental health services, psychological therapies, adult social care and private practice. I hold an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and am an IPT UK Accredited Practitioner, BACP Registered Member and NCPS Accredited Registrant.

TalkWise offers private online counselling and psychotherapy for adults in Manchester and across the UK through Microsoft Teams. Sessions last 50 minutes and the standard fee is £60.

I am currently accepting new clients. Appointments are available Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 10am until 11pm. You can request a free 15-minute introductory conversation before deciding whether to arrange therapy.

I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, stress, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, cultural and generational pressures, identity and belonging, and patterns that keep repeating. Therapy is available in English, Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi.

You can visit the TalkWise website to read more about how I work, fees, confidentiality and current availability before deciding whether to contact me.

You can begin with a free 15-minute introductory conversation on Microsoft Teams. This is a private, no-pressure opportunity to tell me briefly what has brought you to therapy, ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right. You do not need to prepare or explain your full history.

If we decide to arrange therapy, the first paid session lasts 50 minutes and costs £60. We will think together about what you are experiencing now, what you would like to be different and any relationships or earlier experiences that may help us understand it. I will also explain confidentiality and practical arrangements clearly before we begin.
