Komal is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a Master's in Counselling Psychology and over 8 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. She brings a warm, curious, and compassionate presence to her work, creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, trauma, and the quiet weight of everyday stress — particularly for those who have long been the ones holding it together for everyone else.

Having worked extensively with children, parents, and families across her career, Komal understands the relational and systemic dynamics that shape our inner world. Today, she works with individuals across the lifespan, supporting adults and teens in finding their footing through life's most challenging chapters.

Her approach is collaborative and client-centred, honouring the deep connection between mind and body. Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and a trauma-informed lens, she helps clients move from insight to meaningful integration and lasting change. Her work honours each person's unique story, culture, and pace — including the layered experiences of South Asian clients navigating culture shock, family expectations, and intergenerational dynamics.

Outside of her clinical work, Komal finds restoration in the quiet things, slow walks, diving into the pages of a self-reflective book, and filling notebook margins with doodles. These small rituals keep her grounded and present, qualities she carries into every session.
