About Me

This Clinical Psychologist offers a warm, interactive approach. Drawing on her background in school Counseling and behaviourist health, she helps clients navigate challenges. Her client-centred style means sessions are tailored, using techniques like mindfulness to foster present-moment awareness. Clients seeking a collaborative space to understand themselves and find practical ways forward will benefit from her approach.

Approach

Using interactive tools grounded in humanistic and evidence-based methods, sessions unfold with curiosity, structure and gentle challenge to uncover patterns that keep you stuck. In English or Hindi/Urdu, whether online or in Hong Kong, I create a predictable, paced environment where assessment, brief experiments in-session and practical between-session steps help restore safety after trauma, ease anxious or low moods, and support adolescents and adults through transitions. We track small changes together and adjust the plan so therapy stays relevant and doable. Those seeking collaborative, steady progress tend to find this way helpful.
