After 40 years of working in the NHS, I focus on supporting individuals experiencing stress, burnout and trauma, particularly those in high responsibility roles. I combine coaching with EFT (tapping), EMDR and a whole-person Occupational Therapy approach, meaning we use a mix of practical strategies alongside theory and psychotherapeutic models. You may be feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or close to burnout after years of putting others first. Perhaps you struggle to make decisions or set boundaries without guilt, and fall into people pleasing, stuck between what you need and what others expect.

Welcome. I'm Haajira, and I specialise in Trauma-informed intercultural therapy. Together, we can explore concerns such as trauma, identity, anxiety, and the impacts of marginalization, with deep respect for your cultural, historical, and social background. We'll move beyond merely treating symptoms and create a safe, trustworthy, and empowering environment that actively avoids re-traumatization while embracing your unique cultural identity. I’m here to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges with sensitivity and respect for who you are and what you have experienced.

I hope to offer a safe space for you to explore yourself (if that is what is needed) and to cope with your struggles.

One of my clients has been feeling down, depressed and demotivated. If irritated and short-tempered with people, especially with his wife. He could not find any reason for his feelings. Following the discussion with the client, he said he was a very motivated and active member of his family, but over the past couple of years, he had noticed some changes in his thinking and behaviour. He said that he also daydreams and ruminates a lot. As a result, he had been feeling frustrated and often angry with himself.

Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Counsellors
How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviours. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.

What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualisation or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.

How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.

Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
