About me
Hi, I’m Nadeem — a qualified Humanistic and Integrative Counsellor. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, grief and bereavement, trauma, low self-worth, health challenges, and times when life feels overwhelming or difficult to navigate.
You might be:
• Feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or burned out
• Struggling with grief, loss or trauma, whether recent or from the past
• Living with chronic pain, long-term illness, disability or health anxiety
• Experiencing panic, stress or difficult emotions
• Finding it hard to feel connected, confident or motivated
• Feeling stuck or unsure how to move forward
If any of this resonates, you don’t have to work through it alone.
I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and make sense of what you’re experiencing. Some people want to explore how past experiences continue to affect them, while others are looking for support with what is happening now. We can work with both, at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach is Humanistic and Integrative, with the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work. My way of working is trauma-informed, compassionate and down-to-earth, drawing on different approaches according to your individual needs.
I bring experience from my work with Samaritans, hospices, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) and the charity sector. I have a particular interest in supporting people living with chronic pain, long-term health conditions, disability and health-related anxiety, as well as grief and loss.
I am also a member of the Expert Patient and Carer Committee (EPCC) at the British Pain Society. I have lived experience of disability and chronic pain myself, giving me an additional understanding of how changes in health can affect identity, relationships, independence and emotional wellbeing.
I am based in East London and offer online and telephone counselling to adults across the UK.
I also welcome counselling and psychotherapy trainees, with a limited number of reduced-fee spaces available at £30 per session.
✨ If you’re wondering whether counselling with me might be right for you, I offer a free 15-minute introductory call by video or telephone. This gives us a chance to briefly talk about what is bringing you to counselling and whether working together feels like a good fit.
You’re very welcome to get in touch.

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.
