Meet Rahul
Hello!
I'm Rahul, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist dedicated to helping adults and young people aged 16 years and over overcome emotional and psychological difficulties through evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I understand that beginning therapy can feel like a significant step. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where we can work together to understand what is maintaining your difficulties and develop practical strategies that help you move towards the life you want to live.
Compassionate, Collaborative and Evidence-Based Therapy
My Approach
I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, compassionate and tailored to the individual. I take the time to understand your experiences, values, identity and goals, recognising that no two people experience difficulties in the same way.
As someone from a South Asian and LGBTQ+ background, with my own lived experience of mental health challenges, I understand the importance of feeling genuinely heard and accepted. This informs my commitment to providing a safe, inclusive and culturally responsive space.

Beyond Therapy
Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy maintaining my own wellbeing through fitness, which helps me stay balanced and energised. I'm also a proud member of an a cappella choir, where I enjoy performing and connecting with others through music.
Alongside this, I've had the opportunity to be involved in television, film and commercial productions, contributing to a variety of creative projects. These experiences have strengthened my appreciation for creativity, teamwork and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds.
I believe maintaining interests outside of work is an important part of overall wellbeing, and I bring that same balance, warmth and authenticity into my therapeutic practice.
