About me
Hi, I am Uzma Mukhtar, and I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. As a compassionate psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Integrative Psychotherapy, I offer a warm, understanding, and non-judgmental space where children, adolescents, and adults can feel safe to explore their emotions. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, Complex PTSD, childhood trauma, or life’s everyday stresses, I am dedicated to helping you find relief and clarity.
I also provide support for those facing more specific challenges like domestic violence, relationship struggles, burnout, or loss. Together, we can work through life transitions, empowering you to feel more grounded and in control. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and practical tools, so you can move forward with greater resilience and peace.
Understanding that every individual's journey is unique, I integrate creative methods such as play therapy for younger clients and employ specialised strategies to address diverse needs effectively. My culturally sensitive practice ensures a safe and inclusive environment, accommodating clients from various backgrounds, including those fluent in Urdu/Hindi.
My commitment to maintaining rigorous safeguarding standards and staying updated with the latest evidence-based practices underscores my dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes for those I serve. If you're seeking support in a nurturing and respectful environment, I invite you to reach out and explore how we can work together to achieve your goals.
Training, qualifications & experience
Masters in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I hold a master's in Integrative Psychotherapy and use CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and person-centred therapies to address issues like anxiety, depression, and family conflict. Fluent in Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi, I offer culturally sensitive, creative, and tailored therapy for diverse needs.
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.
