My Story...

My path into therapy began long before I trained as one. It began as a client.

I grew up in the UK in an Indian family with roots in Africa — navigating life as a third-culture kid long before I had language for what that meant. Moving across three continents shaped my understanding of identity and belonging in ways I spent decades only half-understanding. These experiences planted a deep curiosity about people, and the invisible weight they carry.

In my early teens, life shifted dramatically. Illness, loss, and crisis became familiar. I learned to be "the strong one" long before I was ready — staying composed, caring for others, and quietly pushing down my own needs. It worked, for a long time. Until it didn't.

It wasn't until I moved abroad, started my own family, and finally felt safe enough to exhale that the cracks began to show. Therapy became the first place I truly softened — where I began to understand how deeply my past lived not only in my beliefs, but in my body. That work opened the door to mind-body approaches, helped me break patterns I didn't want to pass down, and led me to retrain as a psychotherapist.

Around the same time, after fifteen successful years in the corporate world, I stepped away from a career that looked right on paper but felt misaligned in practice. I wanted work rooted in meaning, authenticity, and genuine human connection. Becoming a therapist was the most honest thing I have ever done.

I am registered with the International Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (ICIP: 362683), and hold a Professional Diploma and Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from The School of Positive Psychology, Singapore. I have further training in EFT (Levels 1 and 2), DBT, and Grief and Bereavement Therapy.

I call Singapore home, where I live with my husband and our two boys. Outside the therapy room, I volunteer with AWARE, supporting individuals navigating crisis and transition. I'm a passionate traveller, a devoted foodie, and someone who believes that the most important conversations happen over a good meal.

Becoming a therapist has been a return to what feels true. It is an honour to walk alongside people as they explore their stories, reclaim their breath, and build lives that feel like their own.
