About me

I’m Jamila, an integrative transpersonal psychotherapist and the founder of Remember Who We Are Therapy. I offer therapy in-person in London (W2) and online across the UK for adults struggling with anxiety, chronic pain, and difficult life experiences.

Many people come to me feeling “fine” on the outside. Capable, caring, high-functioning, while privately carrying anxiety, emotional fatigue, self-doubt, or a persistent sense of feeling disconnected. Therapy becomes a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and rebuild a steadier relationship with yourself, without having to perform, justify, or hold it all alone.

What I can support

Clients often reach out for support with:

  • Anxiety, low mood, burnout, overwhelm, and life transitions.
  • Boundaries, people-pleasing, over-functioning, and the fear of letting others down.
  • Repeating relationship patterns (shutdown, over-explaining, fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting yourself).
  • The impact of emotionally immature or narcissistic family dynamics (guilt, hypervigilance, shame, “never enough”).
  • Chronic stress, chronic illness, and chronic pain (including nervous-system strain and psychosomatic patterns).
  • Identity and belonging, including cultural/racialised stress where relevant to your story, without reducing you to any single theme.
  • Grief, meaning, and the quieter questions that can feel hard to name.

How I work

My approach is relational, trauma-aware, and integrative. We shape the work around your history, your nervous system, and what you’re ready to meet now. Alongside insight, we pay attention to the body (emotions, sensations, protective responses), so change becomes lived, not only understood. Where it supports your process, and always by consent, we may include creative and symbolic approaches such as imagery, visualisation, metaphor, or dreams, at a pace you can trust.

If you’re considering therapy, the next step is to book a free, no-obligation 15-minute consultation. You can book this directly via the 'Book intro call' button on my profile, or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an integrative, transpersonal psychotherapist working with adults online and in person in London, specialising in anxiety, chronic pain, and relational trauma.

I trained at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) at postgraduate level (Level 7), completing substantial clinically supervised practice. My work is grounded in relational, depth-oriented psychotherapy and is informed by trauma-aware, body-based understanding of how stress and attachment patterns shape our lives. Where it supports the work, and always by consent, I also draw on creative methods such as imagery, visualisation, symbolism, metaphor, and dream exploration.

I am a UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) Full Clinical Member and UKCP-registered psychotherapist. I maintain regular clinical supervision and ongoing continuing professional development (CPD), supporting safe, ethical, and reflective practice.

Alongside my private practice, I have experience working in low-cost placements with a wide range of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, and complex trauma, which strengthened my capacity to work thoughtfully with complexity, difference, and varying levels of support need.

Further information

Therapy with me is a collaborative, paced process. Most clients begin with a weekly rhythm, and we shape the work together depending on what you’re carrying, your capacity, and your hopes for therapy. Sessions are a steady, confidential space to explore patterns, strengthen boundaries, rebuild self-trust, and support greater integration across mind, body, and meaning.

Getting started

I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute consultation so you can share what brings you, ask questions, and get a felt sense of whether I’m the right therapist for you. If we decide to work together, we agree on a regular session time (online or in person) and take things one step at a time. You can book your free call using the 'Book intro call' button on this profile.
