Since graduating with a degree in Social Work in 2008 I have worked as a counsellor in hospitals, disability services, prisons, schools, palliative care, and private practice.

Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile. I've been providing therapy for close to 30 years, and I'm still passionate about seeing the power in people to change. My experience is broad, and is the foundation for a calm, grounded approach to supporting you to overcome challenges and experience growth. I value getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and helping you to gain clarity about the life you want. I have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent girls and women in their journey - whether that is questioning if you are neurodivergent, newly diagnosed, or any challenges you need to overcome.

I have been a counsellor for the past 20 years and I am passionate about helping people to grow and develop their sense of self. I recently qualified in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice and I see Family Therapy as a game changer in terms of moving individuals and families through problems, quickly. I take a strong position in being authentic, non-judgemental and transparent. The relationships that make up our world are important and are informed by the relationship we have with ourselves. Great mental health is the most precious thing we possess and we need to take time to cherish, nourish and protect it.

While we are diverse in nature, our beliefs and ideals as we travel through life we all go through emotional challenges. If where you are feels uncomfortable, that you feel stressfully challenged, possibly without direction or meaning I am able to guide you through those states where you unfold naturally your next best steps to take. You may have ailments that frustrate and inhibit your everyday living and live in fear that can often make no sense.

I'm Kubra - and I work with kids, teens and young adults. Growing up neurodivergent can feel like you have been caught between two lands. There is the land of mainstream neurotypicalism - this land is made up of unspoken and confusing rules, uncomfortable clothes, and expectations about how you should move, speak, and look at other people (and for how long!).

My ideal counselling client is someone who is committed to personal growth and self-discovery. They may be facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or navigating major life transitions. However, what sets them apart is their willingness to confront these challenges head-on and their openness to exploring new perspectives and solutions. Their issues might include struggles with self-esteem, unresolved trauma, or difficulty managing stress and emotions. They may feel stuck or lost, unsure of how to move forward in their lives.

If you are emotionally overwhelmed and unsure about future directions, talking to a trained professional can help. Processing thoughts and emotions can help you clarify your goals and plan your next steps. Traumatic experiences that have not been processed may also impact your ability to find deeper contentment and purpose. Triggers in the present that spark PTSD-like responses can impede your ability to move forward. I can provide a safe place for you to explore challenges, old and new. We can go at a pace that is comfortable for you and chart your path to more peace and clarity.
