Dalilah Baruti

I'm currently taking on new clients and am available Monday to Saturday with AM & PM slots.

Please use the website link to book directly into my diary.

My approach is gentle and my energy is warm and welcoming. In the beginning my focus is on building trust, and when you feel safe enough to, we can begin to explore what has brought you to therapy.

I work in a way that means I use relevant areas of my training to cater to your experience with me. Having trained in person centred, psychodynamic and Islamic approaches,  I will sensitively draw from various therapeutic techniques to tailor my approach to your unique needs. 

As a black, Muslim woman that has worked with clients from different faiths and backgrounds, I know what it can be like to hold visible identities and appreciate how these can be in harmony or conflict with invisible aspects of ourselves, as well as contribute to feelings of difference.

Maybe you feel as though you are negotiating between intersecting parts of yourself such as your mind, body, heart and soul and you’re finding it difficult to find a balance that feels sincere to you. 

Perhaps this back and forth is affecting how you behave with your family, friends or partner and you’re finding it difficult to cope. You want to live a life where you can integrate more aspects of yourself and feel more whole, to hear and trust yourself, without fear of feeling shame, feeling seen or even feeling truly known by those who matter most to you. 

I know how healing it can be to explore our visible and invisible differences and experiences in a space that feels safe and not to have to navigate them alone. I've worked at depth with clients experiencing some of these struggles. 

Beginning with an initial assessment session, lasting 50 minutes, you’ll have the opportunity to learn whether counselling with me, feels right for you. Following this, together, we will agree on a day and time for weekly sessions and I can answer any questions you may have.

I also offer a free initial 15 minute telephone consultation prior to booking an initial first session.
