Specialist psychological support for South Asians seeking clarity, confidence, and meaningful change.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, anxious or stuck, helping them make sense of their struggles and find a way forward.

Drawing on evidence-based therapies, including CBT and EMDR, I support you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, to manage difficult thoughts and emotions, release the weight of past experiences and build healthier patterns for the future.

With an approach grounded in both clinical expertise and cultural understanding, my aim is to help you feel more at ease in yourself and more confident in the life you are creating.

Areas I Can Help With

You’ve spent years holding everything together, with work, family, expectations. You keep going even when you’re running on empty. On the outside you seem fine, but inside you might feel anxious, low, or disconnected from yourself. If this sounds familiar, therapy can help you understand what’s really going on and support you to make lasting, meaningful changes.

Anxiety & Overthinking

You might constantly second-guess yourself or replay conversations in your head. Together we can help you quieten the noise, feel more grounded, and rebuild confidence in your decisions.

Trauma & Intergenerational Trauma

You might notice patterns repeat through generations; silence, guilt, pressure, or fear of letting people down. Therapy helps you understand where this comes from & how to break the cycle.

Family & Relationship Pressures

When family expectations clash with your needs or independence, therapy can help you manage guilt, assert yourself, and strengthen relationships without losing yourself.

Stress & Burnout

When you’re doing everything for everyone and still feel like it’s not enough, therapy can help you slow down, set boundaries, and recover a sense of control and calm.

Self-Criticism & Low Self-Esteem

If your inner voice is harsh or dismissive, we can work on understanding its origins and finding a kinder, more balanced way of relating to yourself.

Work-Related Stress & Perfectionism

If you push yourself to achieve but still feel you’re falling short, therapy can help you challenge perfectionism and create healthier, more sustainable ways to succeed.

Low Mood

If you’ve lost motivation or feel disconnected from what used to matter, therapy offers space to understand why and begin to feel more like yourself again.

Cultural Identity and Belonging

Navigating life between cultures can be complicated. Therapy offers space to explore identity, expectations, and belonging and to feel more at ease in who you are.

Life Changes and Transitions

Marriage, motherhood, career shifts, or health issues can bring uncertainty. Therapy can help you adjust, make sense of change, and build resilience.

Testimonials

  • “Having tried other types of therapy before, I always felt that it hadn’t really helped me, and I assumed therapy wasn’t for me. CBT with Hinal was completely different. She very quickly helped me identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and then systematically challenge them. Throughout the process she was collaborative and compassionate, and really established a safe space. For the first time, I’ve come away from a course of therapy feeling like I’ve made real strides, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Hinal to anyone.”

    TY, therapy given for generalised anxiety and OCD.

  • “I wanted to take the opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you for everything these past few months. I feel so lucky to have had someone as kind, caring, funny and as gentle as you during this experience. You have taught me so much about myself and changed my life in such a meaningful way. I think you must be one of the very best and I am so grateful for everything.”

    DF, therapy given for burnout and low self-esteem.

  • “I am so grateful for the support I’ve received through therapy. I’ve struggled with severe germaphobia and OCD, especially since the pandemic, and it significantly impacted my life. Through a combination of CBT and compassion-focused therapy, Hinal has helped me challenge my fears and take back control. I now feel confident enough to only wear a face mask on busy public transport, and I no longer feel the need to carry hand sanitiser everywhere. Beyond that, Hinal was a crucial source of support as I navigated grief after the loss of both a friend and a family member. Her guidance has been excellent, and I feel much more at peace with myself and the world around me.”

    Lauren, therapy given for OCD.

  • “I found the sessions with Hinal extremely helpful in giving me the space and the tools to understand my anxiety better. I felt totally supported knowing that Hinal has deep expertise in CBT and found her ability to provide varying techniques very effective and I always felt heard with compassion and no judgement. I had sessions with Hinal during two particularly difficult periods of my life and they have been invaluable. I continue to use the tools regularly when I need them I feel the understanding I gained from the sessions has made me a much more well-rounded individual.”

    SF, therapy given for burnout and generalised anxiety.

  • “I would highly recommend Hinal as a therapist. She is kind, attentive and explained the theories of CBT really well when I didn’t really understand it. I never felt judged, only supported and I couldn’t recommend her services any more.”

    JM, therapy given for generalised anxiety.
