About Me

I am a psychotherapist, supervisor in training and tutor at the Karuna Institute in Bristol, working online and in person in Clifton, Bristol.

As a therapist, working in an embodied way is central to my practice. Bringing awareness into the body creates a sense of grounded safety in therapy. Supporting clients to bring their awareness to their felt experience may also help deepen inner inquiry. This supports a trauma informed approach to the work. I also draw on psychodynamic theories exploring how we have been shaped by experience in childhood, alongside other creative approaches such as parts work.

My practice is influenced by 15 years in Children and Families Social Work in London, holding challenging work in individual and group contexts. Before this, I studied French and then Hindi at SOAS, and have lived and worked in communities in both India and France.

I am committed to learning and development in psychotherapy, and have two clinical supervisors, two peer supervision groups and a reading group focusing on issues of social justice. Since 2021, I have attended several group work retreats a year, using the mirror of community to bring awareness to my own self-limiting patterns and beliefs.

Outside of work, I love to explore with others in community, to be in nature, to exercise, dance, write, play guitar, and cook.
