Talking about the most intimate parts of our being takes courage. Many people find talking about sexuality difficult. Creating a sense of safety for you to talk about the things that are important for you is central to my work.
I am passionate about my work as a sexologist as I have the privilege to be part of people's journey to discover and re-discover what is fulfilling, meaningful and pleasurable for them. I have worked with couples, individuals and people in multi-partnered relationships to support them with their relationships, sense of identity , sex life and explore how they can connect with their authentic self.
I offer therapy in both English and Persian.
When I am not at work I am probably writing, hiking, watching lengthy art-house films or discovering new and exciting places around the world.

My fascination with sexual health began after experiencing a lot of sexual difficulties myself. I understand the struggle in being vulnerable and exposing a part of yourself rarely (if ever) shared. Most issues are more common than most people think, and there is often a way to change, adapt or gain greater acceptance of our inner selves once we start to explore them.
When not at work I am most likely somewhere outdoors soaking up sunshine: hiking, running, cycling, reading a good book or birdwatching.

I am passionate about providing people a safe space to re-discover their strengths and supporting them in navigating their way to emotional wellness guided by their expertise about what works for them. Trauma-informed practice, empowerment and a person-centred approach are the key elements and foundations of my therapeutic work.
When I am not working you will mainly find me running around and enjoying the outdoors with my two children, and when I get a moment enjoying listening to true crime podcasts, reading and watching documentaries.

I attempt to foster a safe and non-judgemental environment to invite people to discuss areas of a personal nature openly. At the heart of my work is curiosity, a value for genuine human connection and the belief that you are the expert of your own life.
When I am not at work, you’ll find me outdoors hiking, unwinding on the beach or with friends at a cosy café or bar. I value the boundaries between shared and personal time, so I equally enjoy days at home catching up on some much needed downtime.
