Fridays from 3 pm till 8pm. 

As a therapist, I am interested to explore with you all aspects that you might find difficult, stressful and cause you to feel more anxious. The process of therapy is to help you unlock your potential and discover other possibilities to cope, over come and perhaps start the process of healing.

I work in an integrative and holistic way. I can draw upon a range of approaches that will enable further process in your therapy.

I offer one-to-one therapy with adults and online such as Zoom, Google hangout,Skype as well as WhatsApp.

I also offer English or Arabic counselling.

I am fully qualified, with experience of working in a wide variety of settings with people from all walks of life.

Any topic can be explored in therapy which including stress,anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep issues, lack of coping with relationships, loss, work, cultural issues, depression, bereavement, and sexuality, intimacy and LGBTQ matters.

I trust you will find me approachable and professional. I always welcome feedback so we can ensure our work together is as effective as possible.

I consider therapy to be a journey in which I accompany you on your path to a more fulfilling way of life.

I am an Integrative therapist, Psychodynamic at heart, trained in a number of different approaches to therapy. This integrative approach works in different ways to suit client’s needs and preferences. I work in this way, drawing mostly from psychodynamic and humanistic theories. simultaneously, ourrelationship – client and the therapist- at the heart of my practice. I can explain more about this way of working at our initial consultation.u

Mu style of therapy that encourages people to focus on their immediate thoughts, feelings and behaviour and on how they approach their relationships. It is a style of therapy that helps people to see the bigger picture and choose the best way forward. It can be very helpful to have therapy in your mother tongue. As well as being able to use words and concepts you are familiar with, I have a deep understanding of the culture and customs of the Middle East – and I have a personal understanding of what it means to be a Muslim living in the UK.

I have extensive experience of working with the LGBT community, which has provided me with a deep insight into the particular challenges this community can face.

It is important to note that there is no good or bad, right or wrong in the writing or pictures you produce – rather, it’s an alternative way for gaining insight and understanding.

The first step is to arrange a time and venue for an initial consultation (sometimes called an assessment). This a chance for us to meet. I can find out more about your situation and you can ask any questions you might have.

We will discuss the matters you would like to focus on and your hopes for the therapy. I will offer a suggestion for how we might procee. We will also discuss practical arrangements, such as time, venue and frequency of appointments. In general, I offer counselling on a weekly basis at a set time and venue.

Number of appointments

Once we have completed an assessment and agreed to proceed whether for a set number of appointments or on an open-ended basis. Open-ended or long-term therapy is useful for looking at an issue from all angles and will involve going deeper into your life situation as a whole.

These first appointments also provide us with a chance to explore how we can best work together – we can look together at what is helpful and what is not so helpful.

Note: appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged at the full fee (subject to significant circumstances).
