About Me

When life feels overwhelming or relationships strain, I offer a grounded space. Drawing on CBT and intensive couple therapy training, I guide clients to understand their thoughts and interactions. We can explore practical strategies together, helping you navigate challenges and build resilience. I also provide support during acute crises, offering immediate, focused intervention. My aim is to help you find clarity and move forward.

Approach

Using CBT skills alongside couple therapy, crisis intervention and neuropsychological insight, my work focuses on clear, practical steps you can try between sessions. In Chattogram I offer in-person sessions in Bengali and English where we balance focused conversation, brief assessment when helpful, and small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping. Sessions are collaborative and paced to your needs—sometimes concentrated problem-solving, sometimes gentle skill-building—and I check progress with simple measures. This approach suits people and families seeking practical change and steadier day-to-day functioning.
