About me
Welcome to Nadia AL-Alrawi and my Gentle Minds Counselling.
I understand that life can present its fair share of challenges and seeking support is a courageous step towards a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
I am a dedicated and compassionate person-centred counsellor, who is passionate about helping individuals like you to overcome obstacles, manage stress and anxiety, and achieve a greater sense of well-being.
My mission is to provide a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I believe in the power of counselling to foster self-discovery, personal growth, and resilience.
I work for MacMillan Cancer Support and have a diverse background and specialties in working with cancer patients, survivors, and their family members. I can help you to process your journey, find a way to live in the here and now and reach peace and acceptance, to enjoy and appreciate the presence.
I work with bereavement and loss. If you have lost a loved one, and are grieving, I can offer and provide a safe space to talk about your beloved one, acknowledge your pain and feeling, and try finding a way to move forward, rather than moving on.
I have worked with clients who had low self esteem, lost themselves, their identity and their passion in life because of, for example, being in a long-term abusive relationship, or the stress and lack of support following the arrival of a new baby and trying to adjust to the new situation. I can help you navigate your inner self and needs, rediscover your identity and passion in life.
Training, qualifications & experience
Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
In addition to an M.B.Ch.B degree in medicine.
My Approach: I believe that effective counselling is built on trust, empathy, and collaboration. I take a person-centred approach to counselling, tailoring my methods to fit your specific goals and circumstances. Whether you're dealing with cancer, bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, ante/post-natal depression, relationship issues, trauma, domestic violence or simply seeking personal growth and development, I am here to support you every step of the way.
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.

Thank you for considering my practice as your partner in this transformative journey. I look forward to accompanying you on the path to emotional well-being and a more balanced life.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any inquiries. When you email or leave a message, I will get back to you as soon as possible, to arrange a free 15 minutes phone call to talk about yourself, your concerns, goals and expectations from counselling and how I might be able to help you. You can then decide if you would like to work with me.
