Hi, I’m really glad you’re here.
If you’ve found your way to this page, you might be considering therapy — perhaps for yourself, or for someone in your life. Reaching this point often comes after a lot of thinking, feeling, and uncertainty, and whatever has brought you here is welcome.
I’m a person-centred therapist, which means that you and your lived experience are always at the heart of our work together. I work with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life stages, and I believe therapy should be inclusive, respectful, and adaptable. There is no “right” way to show up — only your way.
I completed my training at the University of Nottingham and have been practising for the past two years. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. In practice, this means offering a space where you don’t need to explain yourself perfectly, have everything figured out, or worry about being judged. Many people I work with tell me they feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to see things from new perspectives — often feeling understood in ways they haven’t experienced before.
The name Rafu Therapy holds a great deal of meaning for me. Rafu is an Urdu word meaning “to mend” — to repair a tear in fabric by gently interweaving it with its own threads. I see therapy in much the same way. We don’t replace parts of ourselves or force change; instead, we work carefully with what is already there. I believe that, given the right conditions, every person has the capacity to mend, strengthen, and reconnect with their own inner fabric. My role is not to lead you, but to walk alongside you as you do that work in your own way and at your own pace.
I offer private therapy sessions online, as well as in-person sessions in Cambridge, and I work with clients from around the world. If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, or whether I’m the right therapist, that’s completely okay. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call, where you can ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and decide — without any pressure — whether you’d like to take the next step.
