Saiyada Tahir

My working days are Tuesday to Friday and timings are flexible.

Prior to qualifying as a counsellor and psychotherapist, I completed my masters in psychology specialising in anxiety. I previously worked as a mental health advisor at Young Minds and then as a palliative care and bereavement counsellor at the West Middlesex Hospital.

I have a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover their inner resilience. With over 10 years of experience in the field, I specialise in supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. My approach is grounded in empathy, evidence-based practices, and a deep belief in every person’s capacity for growth and healing.

I integrate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, positive psychology and person-centered therapy to create a space where clients feel safe, seen, and empowered. Whether you’re facing a current struggle or looking to better understand yourself, I’m here to support you and champion you all the way.

I offer both long term and short term therapy as well as one off or ad hoc sessions. You do not need to commit to a term of sessions although especially at the beginning, it may benefit you to have at least 4 consecutive sessions.

I carry out reviews throughout our sessions to allow you to reflect on how therapy is going for you.

There is no charge for the initial 20 minute phone consultation and no obligation to continue.
