PRAXIS

HOW I WORK

My practice is integrative, relational, trauma-sensitive and culturally responsive. Rather than applying one model to everyone, I draw on different
psychological perspectives and adapt the work to the person, relationship or context in front of me.
We may explore emotions, relationships, bodily experiences, patterns of coping, personal history and the social contexts that shape your
life.
I aim to create a space that is thoughtful, collaborative and grounded — one where there is room for both practical change and deeper
reflection.

LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND CONTEXT

Belonging, migration, and cultural context are central to who we are. Living away from your home country brings unique complexities. Having lived abroad
myself, I intimately understand the profound adjustments, invisible stresses, and identity shifts that come with navigating a foreign environment.
I provide dedicated, culturally attuned support for individuals and families navigating:

➢ Minority stress
➢ Expat and migration stress
➢ Cultural adjustment and identity shifts
➢ Intercultural relationship dynamics
➢ The complexities of building a life abroad

I offer therapy and consultation in Danish, English, Norwegian, Urdu, and Punjabi, actively welcoming conversations about how these intersectional layers
impact your life. I also understand Swedish with ease.
I am currently also learning Spanish, and I can understand key concepts in Hindi, Tamil, Turkish, Farsi, Arabic, and German. While I enjoy connecting through
these languages, please note that I do not offer full clinical therapy in them.

“THERAPY & PRAXIS” – THE CONCEPT

Therapy creates space to slow down, understand ourselves, work through difficult experiences and develop new ways of relating to ourselves and others.
PRAXIS refers to the ongoing relationship between understanding, action and reflection. It is different from practice as simply applying established
knowledge: praxis asks us to remain attentive to what we learn through action and experience, and to allow that learning to change how we understand and
act.

This matters to how I work as a psychologist, too. I don’t see myself as an outside observer applying knowledge to another person. My own position,
assumptions and responses are part of the therapeutic relationship and therefore part of what needs to remain open to reflection.
Psychological work also takes place within a wider world. Our inner lives are shaped by relationships, histories, bodies, cultures, institutions and social
conditions — while the ways we understand ourselves influence how we participate in those worlds.
Therapy & Praxis is therefore about the movement between reflection and action, the individual and the world, knowledge and lived experience.
