I am Ummul-kiram Patrawala, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who uses a holistic, compassionate, body-centered, trauma informed nervous system approach that integrates Somatic Psychology and Art Psychotherapy to help you move beyond talk therapy and reconnect with yourself in a deeper way. My work is focused on helping you feel safe in your body, process emotions that feel stuck, and break free from patterns that no longer serve you so you can live purposefully with joy and presence .
My ideal client is an individual who has been doing their work—therapy, self-development, wellness practices—yet still feels stuck in patterns of overthinking, perfectionism or exhaustion. They may carry stress in their body through chronic pain, fatigue, or tension. They may be navigating pregnancy loss or fertility struggles. Drawn to a deeper mind-body connection, they are open to exploring approaches that integrate the body’s wisdom.
I know the weight of running on fumes—always doing, rarely being. I’ve been there too. If you’re longing to reclaim energy, reconnect with your body, and build resilience, I invite you to reach out. Folks always share that working with me was the missing piece of their healing journey.
