Asian Counselling in North Elmham

You may already know what you want from therapy or you may feel that something is not quite right but you’re not sure what. Perhaps you’re looking for help to make sense of your current feelings. Maybe you are feeling painful emotions or want to improve relationships or get a better understanding of yourself. Perhaps you're feeling unsettled due to bereavement, separation, or health issues. Maybe you're feeling anxiety or stress. Well done for admitting that things aren't quite right and for starting your journey to bring back control. Counselling can provide a confidential space to bring clarity and order to your thoughts. ​

We all need help from time to time, and you shouldn't be embarrassed for asking for it. I am a down to earth and compassionate person, who understands what it is like to need a boost. In my years I have truly heard it all, and my biggest goal is to empower rather than judge my clients. One of my favourite quotes comes from Marisa Peer who explains that “to be happy you have to make peace with your past, love the present and feel so excited about the future”. No problem is too big to solve and I have witnessed counselling change the lives of so many people and I know I can help change yours too.

As a therapist, I believe our personal experiences have a profound impact on how we perceive and interact with the world around us. We receive messages on how we should live our lives, and we learn to accommodate those messages in hopes to "fit in" with society. As an Asian gay man and being sent to boarding school, I understand the challenges of living authentically while also trying to honour the norms, values, and expectations of the community you come from.

Are you feeling trapped or uncertain about your next steps? Are you navigating transitions and feeling overwhelmed? You may be feeling torn between honouring family traditions and staying true to your personal values. If you're seeking to break free from unhealthy attachment patterns and committed to breaking the cycle of generational trauma - I see you! If you consider yourself a 'cycle-breaker' - we'd be a great fit! Reach out to book a FREE 15-minute intro video call.

I provide a space for you to be seen and heard. One where you can explore, be curious, learn more about yourself and importantly, a space for you to just be. Sometimes we all need a warm and safe space to connect with what’s going on, who we are and our hopes and dreams for the future. I hope we can do this together, in a way that feels right to you.

As a second-generation Muslim psychotherapist with a deep understanding of intercultural dynamics, I specialise in working with Muslim and South Asian clients. While our backgrounds vary, there's often a shared journey shaped by family, religion, and community expectations. Anxiety, depression, low mood and life's challenges affect us all, yet cultural nuances can influence how we perceive and address them. In cross-cultural psychotherapy, I honor the significance of race, ethnicity, religion, and culture, fostering a safe space for healing.

I have worked in addictions for over 20 years, typically I have supported clients to reduce alcohol use. I have supported clients with mild to moderate depression and or anxiety, All clients are individual and come with different goals in therapy, this can be to reduce substances and learn how to cope with emotions that come up. I have also worked with clients who have suffered bereavement or any type of loss.

I understand that reaching out for support can evoke much anxiety. I am here to work at your pace and with your agenda in a non judgemental space. I have learned that our reaction to challenges in our adult lives can often be related to our childhood experiences. Within our partnership we will be able to work through childhood trauma, attachment and how they may impact on your current mental health.

My name is Sadia and I live in London. I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor working in this field since 2015. I am very compassionate about my work, despite the colour, beliefs, values or culture that people belong to. I believe we are all human with the same emotions and no one is superior or inferior. I work with clients from many different cultures/countries, such as, English, European, Asian, Africans and many others. I am honoured to work with diversity.

Are you feeling bogged down by the world? Are things are getting worse and you know you need help? Maybe you’re trying to find an outlet for the things you’re experiencing. Either way, something is bringing you toward counselling, which has led you here to me. I use the psychodynamic approach in therapy to make sense of your world. I help you connect unconscious behaviours that are unpleasantly shaping or sabotaging your life. By bringing awareness to it, you can make sense of it to create real changes. Some of these unpleasant things can show up in the form of explosive anger, panic attacks, or even avoidant behaviours.

I can help you to access your creative potential by overcoming psychological challenges. Often our ability to live a fuller life is blocked by issues, such as physical and emotional difficulties, anxieties, phobias and relationship issues. Working together in therapy I will guide you to explore the source of your issue and help you to find solutions to your problems. Everyone arrives to the therapy process at different stages. I am committed to meeting you where you are at as an individual, and can provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, providing empathy and respect for you, your values and belief systems.

You want to grow and thrive, but somehow you feel thwarted and the journey is frustrating and lonely. I respect your subjective experience, attempt to understand you in context and explore with you your various unconscious dynamics that are shaped by biological, social and psychological forces that impact your development and your experience about yourself and the others, as well as your coping skills that are known and unknown to you, so as for you to re-orient your direction and efforts towards more fruitful ends.

Coming to therapy, wanting to understand yourself, is a deeply vulnerable and brave thing to do. Life can be demanding and fast-paced and I think therapy can be a place that offers the opportunity to slow it down, connect with what our bodies are telling us and process difficult emotions or experiences. People come to therapy for a myriad of reasons and I have worked with a broad range of concerns and issues. Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, I offer a warm and compassionate space to explore. Therapy can offer a space to untangle and understand who we are and the opportunity to live more peacefully.
