About me

I began counselling with the Samaritans (1999) whilst working for the NHS as I was drawn towards empowering individuals in helping themselves. Since then, I have worked for a number of organisations with adults and children providing both short term/ long-term therapy around many issues.

There are many ways in which counselling/psychotherapy can assist you with improving your quality of life or in dealing with difficult issues, by providing a space to be heard without feeling judged.

Through sharing and exploring your thoughts and feelings, it can open up new ways of coping with difficult situations. Overwhelming feelings of anxiety or depression can be addressed so life can be more manageable, such as through the practice of mindfulness.

I provide a comfortable and confidential setting to explore whatever is troubling you, at a pace that works for you. I value that we are individuals in how we see ourselves, our surroundings and our experiences, which is why I am qualified in various theoretical approaches of counselling.

Also, as a practising Muslim counsellor from an Asian background, I appreciate and will work alongside the values and beliefs you may hold around culture/religion, and their impact on you.

For therapy to work, the client should be acknowledged for their individuality.  As I am a practising muslim counsellor from an asian background, I am sensitive and work alongside the values and beliefs you may hold around culture/religion and its impact on you.
