About me
I qualified as a Counsellor in 2001 and have worked within the private, public and voluntary sectors. I trained as an integrative therapist in 2000 at St John's University in York and completed my Masters at the University of Manchester in Counselling Studies thereafter progressing on to the Professional Doctoral Program in Counselling Studies.
I work with clients experiencing a range of emotional and mental health difficulties. I adopt an integrative approach, which is very holistic, encompassing the psychological, emotional, behavioural, religious and spiritual elements of the human being. I specialise in working with clients with depression, anxiety, addictions and trauma related issues.
A particular focus for my clinical research and practice work relates to the Muslim community in the UK. As well as my numerous counselling qualifications, I am a trained family mediator, domestic abuse perpetrator program facilitator, parenting specialist and child protection consultant.
With this broad range of experience I hope to benefit my clients more extensively in their life struggles.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
