About me
If you're going through a tough time dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, or relationship issues, remember that you don't have to face it alone. I provide a secure and supportive environment where you can explore and address your emotions and concerns. My purpose is to assist you in discovering new aspects of yourself and gaining a deeper understanding. This is accomplished by uncovering and addressing unconscious processes, resistances, defences, conflicts, and emotions. Through our collaboration, we can focus on establishing goals and making progress towards them, or explore into your personal history to uncover hidden patterns that may be influencing your overall sense of unhappy feelings.
As a psychodynamic counsellor, I provide a safe space where you can freely explore into your true identity. I strongly value the uniqueness of every client I have the privilege of working with. We are all born as our authentic selves. However, the perception of oneself can be shaped by the expectations set by primary carers. Consequently, we may develop the belief that we must conform to certain behaviours in order receive love, acceptance, and validation. This results in a life that is shaped by external factors rather than staying true to your authentic self.
Training, qualifications & experience
As a psychodynamic counsellor, I have plenty of experience working with clients in various settings, including in-person, online, and over the phone. I have helped individuals dealing with generalised anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, ADHD, obesity, and low self-esteem.
I also prioritise cultural sensitivity and respect for all clients' backgrounds and belief systems, taking into account factors such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender.
I am proud to be a registered member of the BACP, which guarantees that I uphold the highest professional standards.
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).

Pre-paying for counselling sessions can significantly enhance your therapy experience. This approach ensures your commitment to the process, leading to more consistent attendance and meaningful progress. It simplifies financial planning by allowing you to budget for therapy costs ahead of time, reducing the stress associated with frequent payments.
By handling the financial aspect upfront, you can focus entirely on your personal growth and well-being, leading to a more effective and accessible counselling journey. Invest in yourself today and ensure a smoother, more dedicated path to healing and personal development.

Further information
If you are facing health-related issues, I offer an environment of safety where you can freely explore and process into your emotions and thoughts. We can also explore the underlying causes of any physical tension or pain you may be experiencing, aiming to address and resolve them.
I offer counselling services in both English and Somali languages. In addition to my practice, I also provide support to families whose loved ones are going through health-related challenges.
