About me and my therapy practice
Hi, my name is Saad. I specialise in anxiety, trauma, family issues, neurodivergence, gender and sexual identity. I am a Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) affirmative therapist.
As a migrant, queer, person of colour, I have had to learn to develop powerful resources to support myself. It is my wish to share this knowledge with my clients, so that they can experience the same strength, which I believe is the birth right of every person.
I have lived in different parts of the world, and I bring this rich experience with me, as I work with my clients. I use a psychodynamic approach to support my clients come to terms with the past, so that can experience a sense of freedom and autonomy in their lives.
Sometimes we have gone through our whole lives, and we have not had a chance for someone to truly listen to us. Therapy with me offers a relationship, where you can begin to get in touch with your authentic self again.
I welcome all parts of my clients, using an Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework. More specifically, I work with the young, inner-child parts of you, which may have been wounded in the past, and long for understanding and kindness.
I offer a free thirty-minute consultation to help you get a sense of me. Please don't hesitate to reach out.
Practice description
My experience includes working with Wellbeing Scotland to support clients suffering from trauma, including those dealing with chronic anxiety, domestic abuse, and bereavement. Additionally, I have worked as a voluntary counsellor at LGBT Health and Wellbeing, supporting a diverse range of clients.
I currently work with the organisation, African Rainbow Family, where I support refugee clients process their trauma, come to terms with the grief of migration, and find renewed hope. I am also the affiliate therapist with Glasgow Museum of Modern Art (GOMA) where I offer counselling to young creative people of colour.
Within my private practice, I have supported clients on issues around familial acceptance, loss, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and forging a stable identity in the aftermath of traumatic events. More specifically, I have supported LGBTQIA+ clients process difficult experiences from the past and find inner joy in their identity. I have also worked with transgender and non-binary clients find confidence and clarity in their gender identity.
I have experience of working with the complex intersection of neurodivergence, race, gender and queerness. I tailor my therapeutic style based on the needs of my clients. I support clients find external resources, in the form of mentors and community. I also take wisdom from mindfulness and shamanism, to support my clients in developing powerful inner resources.

About me and my therapy practice
Hi, my name is Saad (they/them). I am a therapist, and I work both in person and online. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, including talk therapy, mindfulness and work somatically to support clients process difficult experiences in the past and the present. I am experienced in working with people belonging to a broad range of cultures, sexualities, and gender identities.
I offer a warm and compassionate space. My focus is to support you with your presenting issues, so that you can experience a sense of calm and belonging in your body. This feels more important than ever in the current times, where we are often over stimulated, and rates of burnout are on the rise.
I have been trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities, and I believe that healing happens when we talk, as well as work with the pain stored in our bodies.
Therapy is a profound process of self-discovery, reclaiming inner-joy, wonder, and finding sustained healing. It is a sacred process, and I am honoured each time I sit beside my clients.

I believe that therapy is a deep form of self-care, where we get to meet ourselves again. I am deeply passionate about working with clients who are looking for a therapist with a shared lived experience and understanding.
