A Multi-Dimensional Perspective in Mental HealthÂ
A Clinician with a Unique Perspective
Â
Born and raised in Britain, with South Asian heritage and a faith deeply rooted in the Middle East, I bring a uniquely intersectional perspective to my mental health practice. This blend of cultural and spiritual foundations enriches my therapeutic approach, allowing me to provide care that draws from both professional expertise and lived experience. My personal journey of bridging cultures and spiritual traditions enriches my ability to support clients navigating multiple identities, particularly bi-cultural and trilingual professionals seeking to harmonise different aspects of their lives.
Throughout my journey, I have navigated the complexities of belonging—feeling like an outsider in one group while seamlessly connecting with others. Over time, I’ve discovered that not fitting into a single identity is not a limitation; it’s a powerful strength. This perspective fosters adaptability, emotional resilience, and the ability to create a fulfilling and distinctive path in life.
Cultural Sensitivity in Mental Health and Therapy
Traditional psychotherapy and mainstream mental health approaches often fail to address the nuanced experiences of underrepresented and multicultural communities. This gap drives my commitment to providing culturally sensitive and personalised therapy tailored to individuals navigating complex cultural and professional identities.
I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their authentic selves. Together, we work to embrace individuality, celebrate cultural richness, and transform feelings of being “out of place” into a source of strength, purpose, and self-discovery.
“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” — Einstein

Where Authenticity & Purpose Take Centre Stage
Â
Vulnerability - The Path To Authenticity
As a clinician specialising in anxiety disorders, my professional journey has been deeply personal. For years, I operated in survival mode, unaware of my own struggles and the many others navigating similar challenges. At rkTherapy, we recognise that seeking therapy is both a luxury and an act of courage - through this vulnerability, we discover profound self-awareness and unlock our authentic selves.
Over time, I began to ask myself deeper questions: Why do we define ourselves by our roles or titles? What drives us beyond the daily grind? This reflection led me to a simple yet profound truth: many people feel trapped by societal expectations, unable to unlock their true potential. I've made it my mission to help others move beyond survival and embrace lives filled with purpose, fulfilment though authenticity - defining success on our own terms.
At rkTherapy, the focus isn't on competing with anyone or conforming to societal norms. It's about standing out boldly by being 'true to who you are'. By overcoming fear of judgment and rejection we help those ready to break free from traditional molds— rewrite their stories and build meaningful legacies through self-discovery.
In a world overwhelmed by social media and constant comparison, at rkTherapy we champion authenticity. Together, we can challenge limiting beliefs, embrace individuality, and create a future where purpose and connection take centre stage.
