I’m a qualified Counsellor/Psychotherapist. Have you reached a turning point wanting to move forward, but find yourself unable to? I aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental, compassionate space for Clients to explore their issues and challenges. Sometimes the first step is the hardest step! I have a special interest in working with individuals who have experienced trauma,  or struggle with cultural heritage and identity. I  also have an interest in Couples therapy.  Applying an empathetic approach, my goal is to create an environment where we can explore issues together, and work towards greater clarity and emotional freedom.

I’m Laiba, an MBACP integrative counsellor working with adults and young people. Many people come to therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because they’re exhausted from coping alone: overthinking, self-doubting, people-pleasing, or quietly struggling while appearing fine to everyone else. I provide a supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and explore your experiences at your own pace I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and experiences. If you’d like to explore whether working together feels right for you, you can arrange a free 15-minute introductory call or contact me via email or WhatsApp

Life often presents us with stress, moments of feeling stuck, under the weight of depression and anxiety. If you're grappling with present-day troubles or seeking healing from past experiences, you're not alone.

Hi there and welcome to my profile, I know how difficult the process of finding a right therapist can be, I'll keep things brief. Do you find yourself constantly masking and adapting to others or putting their needs ahead of your own to feel accepted? Do you find it difficult to speak up about what you may want from or how to feel confident in relationships? Do you may feel stuck between wanting connection and fearing rejection? If so, you are not alone, I find that when people may report feeling unseen, misunderstood, there may be feelings of awkwardness and disconnection with others and you may struggle to ask for what you want.

Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, I will sit with you in a safe space, listen to you and together we will get to know your inner world, however messy, complex and conflicted it may seem to begin with. As a result as eg. childhood trauma, toxic family dynamics, discrimination or the experience of being neurodivergent (self or externally diagnosed) in a neurotypical world you might feel not good enough or even ashamed. The world might feel like it is too much or you might not feel much at all. Together we will work to re-built a way to relearn to relate with yourself based on agency, authenticity and wholeness.

I am a CBT psychotherapist with over 10 years experience working in mental health services in the NHS. I have experience working with a range of difficulties from anxiety disorders to depression. I adopt a trauma informed practice focus, recognising that often our difficulties stem from our experiences. In addition to CBT I have experience using techniques drawn from DBT, ACT and MBCT as well as sensory integration. I work idiosyncratically as I believe we are all unique individuals and all need a person centred approach.

Sometimes it feels like everyone says that men have it easy. If that’s so, then why are three quarters of all suicides men? We've been taught to tough it out and to go it alone, and that it’s weak to ask for help when things get on top of us – even if there is someone we can turn to. I work with the issues around the difficulty of being male in a society that creates unrealistic and often contradictory ideals of masculinity that are impossible to live up to, and stops men connecting meaningfully with themselves and others.

I support adults, parents and teenagers who may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or stuck, or navigating trauma, grief, relationships, parenting pressure, teenage stress, family expectations, cultural identity, migration, life or career transitions. Many people come to therapy after carrying things quietly for a long time. I offer a warm, confidential space where we can slow things down, make sense of what is happening and find a way forward that feels gentle, grounded and meaningful.

Are you struggling with feeling anxious, low or depressed, uncertain or disconnected? All around us people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. You are not alone. Talking about it can really help but perhaps the people you usually talk to are struggling with their own problems or don’t know how to help. I’ve spent 30 years as a therapist listening and helping people find more peace, clarity and joy in life.
