Hi, I'm Sariya

Meet Your Therapist

I grew up in a migrant, ethnic household as the oldest of four, the "second mum" of the house before I even knew what that cost me. I was the one holding things together, long before I had the words for what I needed myself.

Mental health wasn't spoken about. Neither was purpose. I grew up watching a generation before me carry so much in silence, and I felt myself heading down the same path following footsteps that weren't really mine, without a role model to show me another way.  For a long time, I felt unseen, unheard, and unsure of who I even was underneath it all.

So I became the person I once needed. I built the space I wish I'd had, one where you're truly heard, understood, and free to find your own voice, not just the one handed down to you.

Grow With Sariya is for people from ethnic, migrant, and faith-based households and, honestly, anyone, from anywhere. Wherever you're from, whatever your story, you belong here.

Purpose of Grow with Sariya

I didn't want just a career. I wanted a front-row seat to your growth.

There's nothing I take more seriously, or find more meaningful, than walking alongside someone as they move from stuck to whole, from silent to seen. Building that trust with a client, watching them find their voice, their strength, their sense of self again. It's a privilege I never take for granted.

And it changes me too. Every client I sit with teaches me something. Grow With Sariya isn't just a name; It’s the reason I do this work, growing alongside you, every step

More About Me

My Mission

Root cause, not just symptoms.

I don't just want you to know what you're feeling; I want you to understand why it started, what keeps it alive, and how to move through it for good. Together, we'll get to know your strengths and your struggles, the patterns and habits quietly shaping your life, and the exact moments where you get stuck so you can finally move past them, not just manage them.

Trauma. Anxiety. Depression. Low self-esteem. Feeling lost, disconnected, or like you've lost yourself trying to keep everyone else together. Whatever you're carrying, my mission is simple: help you become the most grounded, confident, whole version of yourself, thriving, not just surviving.

I hold that space for everyone: people from ethnic and migrant backgrounds, faith-based households, diverse cultures, and all walks of life. Wherever you're starting from, you belong here.

You don't have to keep carrying everything on your own.
