With several years of experience as a mental health counsellor, I bring expertise in Integrative Psychotherapy to my practice, tailored to address a diverse array of mental health challenges and traumas. Specializing in areas such as Child Sexual Abuse, domestic abuse, and others, I've assisted clients dealing with anxiety, depression, loss, isolation, and various forms of trauma. My personal background within a complex cultural framework enables me to connect empathetically with the culturally intricate and diverse issues that my clients encounter.
My therapeutic approach is deeply relational, drawing from evidence-based and trauma-informed modalities tailored to suit individual needs. I firmly believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship, cultivating an open and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to express their thoughts and emotions.
In therapy, I adopt an integrative style that considers both mind and body processes, exploring how early relationship dynamics shape present experiences. This journey of self-awareness and transformation emphasizes clients' strengths and resilience in overcoming challenges.
Therapy, for me, is a collaborative journey, characterized by mutual respect and shared responsibility. Placing utmost importance on the client's needs and goals, I prioritize a client-centred approach, ensuring that therapy remains focused on their unique journey towards healing and growth.
If you're considering embarking on this therapeutic journey, I extend a warm welcome. Taking that initial step towards therapy requires courage, and I commend you for taking it. Together, we will work towards achieving your goals. If you are considering therapy, I warmly invite you to take that first step, and I look forward to accompanying you on your path towards healing and well-being.

My therapist has a very kind, approachable, and welcoming voice! She is considerate, a great listener… and asks really good questions so I can reflect on my own experiences.

I’ve been doing therapy with Arham for over two months now, and I can genuinely say she’s been incredible. She’s helped me start understanding and accepting my emotions in a way I never have before. Arham creates a space that feels safe, supportive, and non-judgmental, which has made all the difference in my progress. I’m truly grateful for the work we’re doing together.

Arham is a lovely therapist. I feel heard, and my feelings validated. She's helped me to understand my thought processes and also asks me lots of probing questions to help me explore my feelings. She doesn't just go along with whatever I say, she challenges me to think differently about things, which is what I need. Thank you so much.
