I can support you in a range of presenting problems including anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, sight loss/disability and especially marital/relationship/ family issues.
I have worked in the health and social care sector, particularly withvisually impaired individuals for a number of years which has enabled me to provide an approach that is nurturing and person-centric at it's core. I provide a non judgemental, empathetic approach, taking into consideration the cultural and religious backgrounds of the clients as well as any other factors that might impact the client or therapeutic relationship. I have held a position as an Imam, teacher and Youth worker in my local community for almost 2 decades which has enabled me to comfortably work with individuals from diverse backgrounds.

I have since completed additional training in Internal Family Systems Therapy.
Things are probably feeling quite tough right now. You might struggle to get out of bed in the morning or find it hard to quiet your racing mind. Maybe you replay conversations over and over again, or endlessly scroll on your phone, trying to distract yourself. Sometimes it feels like you're being pushed around by strong emotions, and other times it's like living in a slow-motion black-and-white movie. Wouldn't it be great to live in full colour again? To feel in charge of your own life, decisions, and emotions? Imagine being able to show up as your favourite self and live life to the fullest.

I work with clients experiencing a range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and low self-esteem.
With the mounting number of tasks life demands, it's easy for self-care to fall to the bottom of the list. But a distorted, ashamed, or unhappy sense of self will only prevent you from living a full life. I will help you to identify the root of your issues, better weather life's inevitable storms, and develop a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

Does it feel that family problems and work are overwhelmingly hard to handle?
Tailoring therapy to your needs is very important to me, so that when exploring troubling thoughts and emotions, you can gain insight into what may be causing your difficulties and build on resilience. Becoming aware of the behaviours/patterns that cause tensions in your life, will allow you to stand a better chance to process this and move on.

My attention to client skills and resources, and to existing support systems (e.g. family and friends), encourages positivity and optimism, albeit in the face of difficulties.
My focus in therapy is on a person's life and relationships, past and present. I regard symptoms or behaviour patterns as expressions of distress connected to life circumstances. My style is fairly active, but I'm careful to listen and check what I have heard. I pay attention to a person's narrative, including successes as well as difficulties. I am happy to share knowledge that might help my client or point to resources. Most of my work is relatively short term (12 sessions or less). Typically I start off with a questionnaire which includes client ideas about the goals of our work together.

After completion of my MA in Transpersonal /Integrative Child, Adolescents and Family Therapy in 2018, I now also take on children and adolescents, using play and art therapy as well as sand tray therapy to help to resolve trauma, stress, anxiety, depression and self harm.
My main approach is to encourage you to explore your feelings and take responsibility for your thoughts and actions. As I work in a way that empowers the client, I always work with what you present. Bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief, jealousy, sadness, shame and pain can become very overwhelming.The opportunity to express them can make it much easier to understand yourself and others. As I acknowledge your feelings and respect you as a person in your own right, you gain self-respect and a sense of being valued. This leads to building trust between counsellor and client, which is an essential part of the process.

Having a background in mental health charities, I have worked within the diverse group of people with wide ranging issues some of which include anxiety, depression, family problems, attachment, trauma, abuse, anger, struggles with sexuality/identity, carrying an immigrant identity, bereavement&grief
You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps you’re carrying wounds from past trauma—whether from childhood or adult experiences—or struggling to find security in your relationships. You may feel disconnected from your sense of self, unsure of how to express your needs or navigate life’s challenges. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and didn’t quite find what you were looking for. Still, something within you is seeking healing, clarity, and connection. You want to feel more confident, more grounded, and more in tune with who you truly are.

The range I use includes attachment theory, Internal family systems, transactional analysis, gestalt and mentalization.
I work with a wide range of presenting issues, and aim to tailor your therapeutic journey accordingly. I incorporate the use of the arts in therapy, though you do not have to be a ‘creative person’ or ‘good at art’ in order to benefit from art psychotherapy. The use of creativity is broad and non-prescriptive- by this, I mean that your favourite song, an existing image or everyday object can all be used, they can help process a memory or become a metaphor that helps aid exploration. Insight can be gained in the most unlikely places. Art is a powerful connective tool and can help process a multitude of emotions.

My integrative approach has helped clients deal with • Low self-esteem/insecurities • Anxiety/stress & depression • Mid-life crisis/life transitions • Relationship difficulties • Identity crisis • Family problems • Attachment issues, avoidant, anxious attachment • Issues from the past impacting the here and now • Addictions • Sexuality
Relationships play a crucial role in our lives, especially romantic ones. But do you find yourself repeating the same behaviour patterns? Are you drawn to partners who aren’t right for you or even toxic? Perhaps you experience anxiety in relationships, always worrying, "Why haven’t they called?" Or maybe you feel suffocated by a partner’s neediness, leaving you yearning for space. Or do you find it difficult to set boundaries, letting your partners take advantage of you? You're not alone if you feel vulnerable in relationships and struggle to assert yourself. I can help.

Other clients are looking to explore specific consistent thoughts or behaviours. These are a few examples of how the therapy can be personalised to you.

Perhaps you've noticed something about your relationships, family, career or lifestyle, that no longer sits right.
I'm an attachment-based psychotherapist. I'm interested in early relationships and the influence they had on your present day. That doesn't mean raking over past pain or blaming. It's more about discovering whether your idea of the way your world works needs re-drafting. I'm also a teacher/lecturer used to working with counselling & psychotherapy students.
