Jasmin Khan

I offer integrative therapy and specialise in neurodivergence, mixed cultures, and work-related issues. Working integratively draws on different therapy styles and responds to your personal process. I can work with a broad range of people and themes, such as depression and anxiety, grief, trauma, and childhood experiences. I draw from lived experience and specialised training when working with the below. Please take a look at my website for more details. NEURODIVERGENCE, ADHD & AUTISM It can be challenging to navigate the many ways that neurodivergence may show up in your life. I am neurodivergent myself, and I have a particular interest in ADHD, autism and high sensitivity. I am late-diagnosed, and I know from lived experience how important it is to work with a therapist who understands how to adapt therapy to neurodivergent needs. We can focus on specific themes but aren’t limited to them, such as neurodivergent burnout, masking, self-trust, issues with motivation and taking intentional action, emotional processing, and how neurodivergence may impact your relationships and career. You can find more details on my website here. CULTURE & IDENTITY I work with cultural sensitivity and questions about identity and belonging, including multi-hyphenated identities, being mixed-race, multilingualism, and the role of ancestral trauma. I bring lived experience as a mixed-heritage person, a ‘third-culture kid’, and as someone who has lived and worked across Europe, the UK, the US, the Middle East, and Asia. WORK & BURNOUT It can feel as though emotional wellbeing comes at the expense of work, or that work leaves no room for the impact turbulent times inevitably have on our lives. To address burnout, I take a holistic approach that considers the connection between body and mind, exploring what may have contributed to burnout and what long-term changes may be needed.

MY APPROACH

Your needs and intentions for therapy are central to the personalised approach that I offer. Our relationship is collaborative. Sometimes you may want space to talk and process, and other times I am more involved – I adapt to what you need each session, and we regularly review where you’re at.

I like to balance creative practices with structure, and the sometimes elusive process of therapy, alongside the desire for practical tools and progress. I explain how therapy works and share psychological knowledge. This can include resources and handouts, if that’s something you like.

I work holistically and use trauma-sensitive, neuroscientifically supported approaches for a broad range of issues. I can also include the body-mind connection using mindfulness and somatic tools.

I believe that the world we live in impacts our mental health. I consider our personal, emotional health as connected to our bodies, and to the health of our communities and planet. I also consider context, such as culture, identity, intersectionality, and the impact of the social, political and climate challenges of our times.

MY BACKGROUND

I have lived and worked across Europe, the UK, the US, the Middle East, and Asia, and I am of mixed heritage. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in tech and had stints at the UN and in public broadcasting.

I have an MSc in Clinical Psychotherapy from King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, as well as a Counselling Diploma. I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I have also completed training in body-based and contemplative practices, such as in mindfulness, contemplative psychology, and as a yoga teacher. My non-linear background shapes my broad therapeutic approach, which I adapt to your needs.
