With over sixteen years of professional experience, I am highly accomplished and have experience with individual clients as well as families from various age groups, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, with a range of mental health presentations and needs including trauma, eating disorders, OCD, PTSD and cPTSD. I have worked with vulnerable and distressed clients who have been through experiences of discrimination, disempowerment and abuse.

Samreen is the best therapist I've ever seen. I've been in therapy on and off for many years, and I always felt that previous therapists only ever scratched the surface, and were never able to help me revolve underlying issues. This is not the case with Samreen. Her approach is kind and warm, yet direct when necessary. She is one of the most intuitive people I've ever met, and her ability to reframe a difficult situation or event that has happened in the past in a way that provides closure is unparalleled. After going through a really hard time, and I feared that I'd never heal from the trauma that I'd accumulated. After working with Samreen for a few years, I am more content within myself than I once thought I would ever be at this point in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend Samreen and her practice.
