Nasima Begum

I have many years of experience working with children and young people in schools. I am currently working as a college counsellor and managing my private practice. My aim is to provide every young person with a positive experience of therapy where they can feel comfortable enough to explore and share their feelings with a trusted adult and find healthy coping strategies.

One of the most important elements of counselling is confidentiality. You may be going through a difficult time, experiencing stress, going through life changes, feeling vulnerable or just need to share your most private thoughts and feelings. I would like to assure you that you can do this in a safe and trustful place. To make your counselling experience a positive one, I assure you that I will provide a trusting and non judgemental environment.

I am an integrative counsellor that works with different models depending on what the client needs. As a person centred approach, I help clients to grow and change through knowledge and acceptance. As a CBT approach, I help clients understand how their thoughts affect their feelings and behaviours. I use Narrative therapy to help clients that have experienced complex trauma. 

I am very passionate about increasing awareness of mental health within different cultures. I have a good understanding of the difficulties adults and young children may experience when dealing with cultural differences. I would like to offer a safe place to explore thoughts and feelings.

In addition, I offer Islamic Counselling. I help clients see difficulties from an Islamic perspective and find solutions through being in touch with their spirituality.
