A Multi-Dimensional Perspective in Mental Health
Integrating Lived Experience and Cultural Sensitivity
Â
As a dedicated mental health clinician, I bring a solution-focused and lived-experience-driven approach to my practice. My background is rooted in British culture, while my South Asian heritage and spiritual connections to the Middle East enrich my understanding of diverse identities. This unique blend enables me to empathise with the specific challenges faced by bi-cultural and trilingual professionals.
Throughout my life, I have navigated the complexities of belonging – feeling out of place in any one group, yet seamlessly connecting with various communities. This journey has taught me that not fitting in can be a strength; it allows individuals to stand out and carve their own paths. Embracing this identity shapes a vision that is both distinctive and fulfilling.
Cultural Sensitivity in Mental Health
My clinical work has shown that conventional psychotherapy and mental health literature often overlook the nuanced perspectives of underrepresented communities. This gap motivates me to provide culturally sensitive support tailored to individuals grappling with their unique identities. In my practice, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore and embrace their authentic selves.

rkTherapy: A Luxurious Alliance
Where Authenticity & Purpose Take Centre Stage
Â
As a trained clinician in anxiety disorders, I've walked a path of self-discovery, seeking to understand not just my work, but the driving force behind it. For years, I operated in survival mode, unaware of my own struggles and the countless others facing similar challenges.
Through my journey, I've come to realise that people often define themselves with their professional titles and societally assigned roles, rather than their unique potential. This led me to question the purpose of my work and the kind of impact I wanted to make.
My mission is clear: to empower individuals to transition from mere survival to a life of purpose and fulfilment. By cultivating emotional intelligence (EQ) and unlocking their authentic potential, I aim to help people create a meaningful legacy and break free from societal expectations.Â
Let's Break the Mold - In today’s world, dominated by social media noise, and information overload, rkTherapy is not about competition or blending in—it's about boldly standing out. We are here for the trailblazers—those daring enough to shatter norms, step into a life defined by authentic purpose and those ready to define success on their own terms.
Together, let's challenge the norms, defy the constraints that hold us back and create a world where authenticity and purpose take centre stage.
