Life can throw us off course, from time to time we can all feel overwhelmed, confused, stuck, frightened or alone. Counselling gives the opportunity to talk through feelings, thoughts and worries in a safe, non-judgmental space. It is not always easy to talk to our
family
and friends, the therapeutic relationship offers a confidential and consistent space to share and work through the problems we can find difficult to bring up with others.

I work with a variety of issues, among them identity issues, anger, anxiety, stress, self-esteem and confidence, body image, loss & bereavement, religious abuse, homesickness and displacement, pregnancy and postnatal issues, and
family
conflict.
I set up my practice to reach out to individuals who struggle to feel at home within themselves, or in their communities. I specialise in working with individuals who struggle with identity issues due to factors of race, religion, politics, culture or language; individuals who feel like they don’t belong, and individuals who have complicated relationships with their bodies. I offer therapy in Arabic and English, and also therapy with children and adolescents.

I have experience working with adults who have experienced trauma specifically childhood sexual abuse and challenges around
family
, identity, self-esteem, boundaries, culture and faith.
Starting therapy can often feel like a big step and rather daunting at times. There may be various reasons why you are currently considering counselling. You may be experiencing emotions associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post a traumatic event. I offer a safe confidential space where you can work through these traumatic experiences. If you've experienced childhood trauma or sexual abuse, do get in touch. I offer face-to-face sessions based in Central London and online sessions.

Whether you are looking at this website for you, a
family
member or friend, I believe my humanistic approach to therapy, where the focus is on the uniqueness of the individual and their ability to heal, can really provide a compassionate space to be able to unlock your inner resources and help resolve anxieties, leading to healthier future relationships.
As a relational humanistic psychotherapist, I specialise in creating a warm and safe, non-judgmental and empathic space where clients are able to explore any difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are getting in the way of healthy living, gaining insight into how to go forward. Oftentimes having suffered a significant life event such as a loss or bereavement, perhaps a divorce or other confusing relationship issues in the distant past, we become blocked, needing effective strategies and techniques to continue. I work online (during Covid lockdowns) by telephone or face to face, in both short and long term settings.

You feel stuck and unsure about the way ahead. You experience overwhelming feelings when you need to take a decision. Your sleep is disturbed or you fall asleep when awake. You burst into tears too quickly or too slowly. You experience relational challenges with your
family
/friends or at work. You desire to talk about yourself to better understand who you want /don’t want to be. This list is endless as varied are the reasons leading people to therapy. My priority is to listen to clients, to meet them in their life journey. We define together the steps ahead so that I can support them in finding what they want from therapy.

I have worked within the NHS, UK charities,

Are you feeling lost, anxious or lonely. Or you may feel deep sadness due to the loss of a loved one? These feelings can be overwhelming and cause you to become stuck. As we navigate through unprecedented times your feelings may be heightened and cause you to feel triggered, isolated, or scared. These feelings are perfectly normal and often having a safe confidential space to explore these emotions can provide much needed relief for you as the carrier. I understand your experience of the world is unique as an individual, and I will build my relationship with you based on your individual needs

I am a Couple and
Family
Psychotherapist with more than 15 years experience of working with individuals, couples and families who have seen their emotional stability and relationships being impacted by life experiences, like physical or mental health struggles, trauma, loss, challenging transitions between life cycle stages, separation, relationship conflict or adverse childhood experiences. I facilitate work that gives the opportunity to develop a better understanding of what is going on for you, a clearer idea of how you would like things to be, exploring and experimenting with ways to achieve this.

You may be feeling uncertain about relationships with others or about how to cope with life events or a bereavement. You may be fearful about the future in today's uncertain world. Stress, depression and anxiety are commonly experienced by most people facing
family
conflict, work/life balance issues, loss of a job, illness or disability. It may feel impossible to manage these new or difficult issues and to find a way forward. You may be thinking about starting counselling for the first time and may naturally worry about what the first session will be like. I will always listen and support you with whatever you are going through.

This allows me to tailor an approach to the individual or
family
.
The 'everyday experiences of life' can present many challenges. It can be valuable to take time to talk about feelings of anxiety, low mood, anger, worry or relational issues, or habits or behaviours that you would like to move on from. I am committed to helping people develop and achieve what is important to them, in accordance with their values and beliefs. Talking can help us to climb up above an issue and look down on it, like viewing the terrain of our lives from a high vantage point. This new perspective can suggest new ways round obstacles and new ways forwards.

Reaching out for help can be hard but it is an important step in the right direction towards living your life fully. Sometimes trying to navigate through life alone can be confusing and speaking to friends or
family
can often be too difficult, this is why talking to a neutral professional counsellor can provide you with the support you need. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore the areas of your life that you are struggling with. By exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours of the past and present I can help you gain better self-awareness and overcome the obstacles weighing you down.

Life can be challenging sometimes and you may feel overwhelmed by difficult feelings or behaviours. Sometimes you may simply want to understand yourself better, realise your potential or improve your relationships. I am a professionally qualified and registered Psychotherapist. Psychotherapy aims to help you overcome obstacles to make sense of your internal world and feel understood and supported. It could help you to achieve lasting and fulfilling change in relationships with others but also your most important relationship, the one you have with yourself.

Speaking to someone outside of your circle of friends and
family
can be of tremendous help in getting support and being able to speak freely.
Hello, Do you feel anxious or low? Maybe you are dealing with relationship issues or struggle to say no? Whatever you are dealing with - you don't have to cope alone. I offer a supportive, confidential and quiet space for you to speak about what is getting in the way of you leading a happy and fulfilled life. I work with 18+ clients on a short to long-term basis either online or face to face. I have two comfortable and private offices I work from - one is at Saunders House, W5 and the other is in Hanwell, W7. We work as a team and at your pace for as long as you feel is helpful to you.

I can imagine, given that you are here, there may be something in your life that is causing you discomfort. Welcome, and well done for taking the first step towards getting some support. Some people seek out therapy because they have felt depressed, anxious or angry for a long time; others may want help for relationship difficulties, self-destructive habits or a chronic illness that is interfering with their emotional or physical well-being. Sometimes, unexpected changes or circumstances also bring people into therapy - for example, going through a divorce, feeling overwhelmed by a new job, or grieving the loss of a
family
member.
