About Me
Hi, I’m Anjali.
I offer a space where you can slow down, make sense of your inner world, and feel understood in ways that may not have felt possible before.
My work is rooted in curiosity, depth, and genuine human connection.
I am particularly mindful of how culture, identity, and life experiences shape the way we relate to ourselves and others, often in ways that are hard to name, but deeply felt.

Many struggles that bring people to therapy are deeply human responses to life experiences.
​
Sometimes we learn to cope by becoming overly self-critical, emotionally guarded, people-pleasing, or constantly anxious about how we are perceived.
These patterns often made sense at some point in our lives.
​
In therapy, we slowly begin to understand where these patterns came from and how they continue to shape our inner world and relationships today.
Mind, Emotions & the Body
My Background
I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Nottingham, UK, and have over 3.5 years of one-to-one clinical experience working with individuals from a range of emotional and relational backgrounds.
My experience includes working across different settings in the UK, including a research clinic (HFP) and a third sector organisation (Harmless CIC) in Nottinghamshire, as well as at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. These settings have shaped a nuanced understanding of varied client experiences and needs.
​
My work is guided by the ethical standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My Approach
My work is grounded in person-centred and emotion-focused therapy, informed by a trauma-sensitive perspective. I see therapy as a space where we begin to gently understand the patterns, emotions, and experiences that have shaped you, not to label or fix, but to make sense of what feels confusing or heavy.
​
I offer a space that is emotionally safe, attuned, and respectful, where exploration unfolds at a pace that feels manageable, without pressure or judgment. My approach is context-aware which means I pay attention not just to your internal world, but also to the environments, relationships, and experiences that have influenced how you see yourself and move through life.
​
Rather than directing or analysing you, I work collaboratively, trusting that you are the expert on your own experience. This may include exploring different aspects of identity, relational patterns, or experiences that have had a lasting emotional impact. Having grown up within a South Asian context and lived abroad myself, I also bring an awareness of how cultural and social contexts can shape emotional experience in ways that are not always easy to articulate.

How I Understand Emotional Struggles
Many struggles that bring people to therapy are deeply human responses to life experiences.
​
Sometimes we learn to cope by becoming overly self-critical, emotionally guarded, people-pleasing, or constantly anxious about how we are perceived.
These patterns often made sense at some point in our lives.
​
In therapy, we slowly begin to understand where these patterns came from and how they continue to shape our inner world and relationships today.
Mind, Emotions, and the Body
Emotions are not only experienced in the mind, but also in the body.
​
At times, emotional experiences may show up as tension, fatigue, restlessness, or physical symptoms.
​
Where helpful, we may gently explore these responses together- supporting greater awareness, regulation, and connection with yourself.
What it Feels Like to Work Together
Clients often describe therapy with me as
warm &
non-judgmental
insightful without being intrusive
attuned to what you're feeling
A space to think, feel, and make sense of things
Getting Started with Therapy...
Beginning therapy can feel like a vulnerable step, especially if you're used to managing things on your own.
