About me and my therapy practice
Thank you for visiting my profile.
Do you sometimes feel unheard, overwhelmed, or like no one truly understands what you’re going through? You don’t have to face it alone.
As a qualified therapist, I work with individuals and couples to help them navigate life’s challenges, whether that’s managing anxiety, healing from the past, improving communication or finding clarity in their relationships. Together, we’ll make sense of your thoughts and emotions and move toward the change you’re seeking.
I also work with couples who feel stuck, distant or unsure how to move forward. Whether you’re struggling with conflict, trust or connection, I offer a space where both partners can feel heard and supported as we explore what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Alongside this, I work in a school supporting boys aged 11–16 as they deal with the challenges of growing up, whether that’s managing emotions, friendships or difficulties at home. This experience continually reminds me of the importance of creating safe, non-judgemental spaces where people of all ages feel understood.
As a practicing British Muslim, I understand that seeking therapy can feel daunting, especially when you’re unsure if your values or experiences will be understood. I offer a culturally sensitive, faith-aware space and welcome people from all backgrounds, beliefs and life experiences.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental. You won’t be told what to do. Instead, I’ll listen with empathy and curiosity, and together we’ll work towards your growth and healing.
When you’re ready, I’m here.
Practice description
As an integrative counsellor, I understand that no single approach works for everyone. That’s why I draw from a range of counselling theories and techniques, allowing me to tailor sessions to meet your unique needs and circumstances.
I offer therapy sessions face-to-face or online via Teams depending on what feels most comfortable and accessible for you.
If you’d like more information or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via text, email or phone. I aim to respond as soon as possible.
My first session
I understand that counselling might feel unfamiliar and you may not know exactly what to expect. Our first session is an opportunity for you to get a sense of the space, ask any questions you may have and begin to explore what has brought you to therapy.
There’s no pressure to commit straight away. After our initial session, I invite you to take some time to reflect on whether you feel comfortable and ready to continue. If and when you’re ready to book another session, you can reach out in your own time.
For face-to-face sessions, we’ll also go through some initial paperwork during our first meeting. For online sessions, this will be sent to you beforehand to complete at your convenience.
