CBT I EMDR I ACT I MINDFULNESSYou don't have to have your story figured out before you start
Therapy specialising in PTSD/ trauma, anxiety and the things that have become difficult to carry alone
We all develop ideas about who we are, what other people are like, and what we can expect from the world. Some of those stories help us. Others are shaped by difficult experiences, relationships, loss, trauma or years of trying to cope.
Over time, they can become so familiar that we stop noticing them. We just live inside them.
Therapy gives us an opportunity to slow things down. To understand where those stories came from, notice how they're affecting your life now, and explore whether they still need to be the story you live by.

Hello, Im Emran.
I'm a therapist, but I'm also a person who knows what it's like to have life become more complicated than you expected.I've worked in mental health for almost 20 years, across the NHS and private practice, and I've spent much of my career working with trauma and psychological difficulties.
I've trained in CBT, EMDR, ACT and mindfulness-based approaches. But qualifications only tell you part of the story.
I'm interested in what happens when real life meets the theories we have about ourselves - how our experiences shape us, the ways we learn to cope, and the stories we start telling ourselves as a result.
And perhaps because I've grown up between cultures, I've always been interested in the different ways people make sense of who they are and where they belong.
Therapy, for me, starts with curiosity. Not judgement.
I'm not interested in pretending therapists have life figured out either. I'm a dad. I've experienced burnout. I've had periods where life felt harder to manage than I'd expected.Those experiences don't make me an expert in anyone else's life but they have reinforced something I already believed: being human is complicated, and messy.
I offer evidence-based therapy that still makes room for who you actually are. Together, we'll work through what's weighing on you and build something that holds when things get hard again.
If any of this sounds like where you're at, get in touch. The first step is just a free consultation, no pressure, just a conversation to see if we're a good fit.

A free 15-minute call. No commitment, no pressure - just a chance to share a little, ask questions, and see if we're the right fit.
COMMON QUESTIONSYou might be wondering…
Do you offer consultations before I commit?
Yes. I offer free 15-minute phone consultations so you can ask questions, share a bit about what’s going on, and see if we feel like the right fit. No pressure. No hard sell. Just space to explore.
How many sessions will I need?
It genuinely depends on what you're working with. Focused difficulties can sometimes shift in 6–12 sessions. Complex or long-standing presentations usually benefit from more time. I’ll give you an honest, realistic view at your initial consultation.
