Mission

As a British-South Asian intersectional feminist psychologist, I am deeply committed to advocating for the diverse experiences of individuals, particularly within the South Asian diaspora. I invite collaboration from marginalised activists, who would like to make sense of their unique experiences and identities. My goal is to amplify voices that are often overlooked and promote understanding across cultural narratives.

​​

In my journey as a mother of three young children, I have gained valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of multigenerational living and motherhood. I understand the cultural expectations and matrescence that shape family dynamics and how they impact mental health and well-being.

​

I have a specialised expertise in behavioural addictions, attained through my academic research. This background informs my therapeutic practice. allowing me to support individuals grappling with various forms of addiction and compulsive behaviours. 

​

To further my mission, I founded MultiGen Zen CIC, a social community enterprise dedicated to supporting multigenerational living. With projections indicating that multigenerational households will triple by 2040, my initiative aims to address the unique challenges faced by these families. Through MultiGen Zen, I aspire to provide grassroots support and resources to those who need it most, alleviating some of the pressures on the NHS.

​

In addition to my community work, I am engaged in equity coaching at the University of the West of England (UWE), where I contribute to the development of future professionals from the global majority. I also teach (ad hoc) at University College London (UCL), sharing my expertise and passion for psychology with students eager to make a positive impact.

​

My recent work in Parliament has focused on women who decolonise, highlighting the importance of centring diverse voices in discussions surrounding social justice. I also work with couples and families, providing a space of exploration into their dynamics and offering tools for healthier relationships.

​

Increasingly, my consultancy work centres on anti-racism and decolonial practices within corporate settings and the NHS. I train leaders and staff to become more aware of power dynamics, privilege and institutional structures, promoting an environment of equity and inclusivity. 

​

As a TEDx speaker, I share insights on intergenerational trauma, social justice, and the importance of building supportive communities. My advocacy work reflects my lifelong commitment to addressing the complexities of multigenerational living and intergenerational trauma and promoting mental well-being.
