Nailah Husbands

I have been working as a BACP certified Relationship Counsellor for over ten years. Before this, I advocated for older people in socially deprived areas of London. I have always been drawn to understanding people and their history. Being raised by my grandmother in the Caribbean at a very early age, I quickly understood the value of empathy and compassion for others, so it has always been natural for me to want to help. 

Therapy is about discovery, and I enjoy empowering my clients to dismantle ideas they have walked with for most of their life so that they can make room for greater fulfilment. Life is complex, and navigating the world and those we share it with can be complicated, especially when we don't understand who we are or don't feel at peace with the version of identity we put forward.

Your first session – what to expect ?

In our first session, I will introduce myself and explain that today is an opportunity for me to make some notes about your family and medical history as well as notes around what brought you here today. This helps me to understand a little more about your needs and the type of therapeutic methodology that would be a good fit.

Sometimes if I am not able to provide you with the type of counselling you require, I may be able to refer you onto another Therapy service provider.
