I have helped clients with mild mental health issues such as general stress to higher needs such as schizophrenia and personality disorders. I would say my expertise lies mostly with anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues. I work with the clients goals in mind, at their own pace and ability. No two clients are the same and adjust my skills accordingly. Whether you’re looking for small changes in perspective, understanding or attitude, or you want a deeper more meaningful change in thinking, behaviour and habits I am willing to walk that journey with you.

I work with couples, adults and young people navigating anxiety, low mood, trauma, identity issues, cultural pressures, or disconnection from faith or self. I also work with couples wanting to reconnect and understand each other. You may feel stuck or overwhelmed, unsure of who you are or where to begin. My integrative approach (Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT) offers a calm, non-judgemental space to explore what’s beneath the surface. I also offer hypnotherapy for deeper healing. You don’t need to have the answers, we’ll make sense of it together.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Your mind may not switch off, your body may feel constantly on edge, or you may find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships. I specialise in working with Muslims navigating anxiety, trauma, and intimacy struggles, especially when mainstream therapy has not felt like the right fit.

My ideal client would be somebody who realises that their issues are negatively impacting their day-to-day life & disrupting their relationship with the important people in their lives. They would need an empathetic listener who would be non-judgmental and appreciate & understand their essential needs in order to function in a healthy manner. The client's goal would be to work with the therapist to help value themselves, raise their self-esteem & self-confidence in order to change their train of thought from negative to positive. The client would ideally want to feel safe and secure within their own thoughts, feelings & behaviours.

If you are searching for a Therapist then it is likely that you are feeling some kind of emotional distress, dissatisfaction, emptiness or a lack of purpose. From time to time virtually everyone will experience life events that cause significant distress. These events maybe recent or may have occurred many years ago. Counselling and Psychotherapy are not only helpful for big traumatic life events but can also be beneficial when you are feeling ‘stuck’ or at a ‘cross roads’ point in your life. I work with individuals and offer couples therapy.

I work with individuals who appear high functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck internally. Many struggle with overthinking, relationship patterns, or the lasting impact of childhood or generational trauma. You may be used to managing everything and supporting others, yet still feel unsettled within yourself. My approach helps you understand these patterns, process past experiences, and feel more secure, balanced, and in control, creating meaningful and lasting change.

You don’t need to be falling apart to talk. You just need to admit something doesn’t feel right. Maybe you’re stressed, stuck in your head, angry, or feeling low. I work with men and teenage boys who are done bottling it up. Whether it's break-ups, fatherhood, race, identity, or just feeling lost, we talk it through—no judgement, no fluff. Just real, straight-talking therapy that helps you understand what’s going on and gives you tools to deal with it. You don’t have to do it alone.

Muslim Counsellors
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist will be respectful of faith, race, sexual orientation, gender, age, disabilities, or anything that is relevant to an individual’s reasons for seeking therapy. This mental health practitioner will therefore be able to recognize the role of faith in a client’s life, and they can appreciate the cultural values and beliefs of others. Cultural sensitivity on the part of the therapist may enhance the possibility of a strong therapeutic bond, even if the clinician does not have an extensive understanding of a client’s background before therapy begins.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Muslim clients?
It is best to ask directly whether a therapist has worked with Muslim clients, and if so, the extent to which cultural or religious principles factored into their work together. You can also ask whether a therapist who is familiar with Islamic practices, values, and beliefs incorporates them into their professional work, and if so, how. If the therapist does not have a sufficient knowledge base, they may well know and can refer you to someone who has such experience.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
It is not necessary for a therapist to share one’s exact religious background for therapy to be successful. A qualified and culturally sensitive therapist will appreciate diversity within the Muslim community as well as diversity overall, and will have a sense of how religious and cultural issues can contribute to mental health. In addition, a good therapist would be willing to learn from their clients.

How do I recognise an effective Muslim therapist?
Like all therapists, a Muslim therapist who is effective will have the requisite training and expertise in evidence-based techniques, as well as the ability to connect with you on a personal level. An effective Muslim therapist may also demonstrate a clear understanding of your cultural background and faith. A therapist with such cultural sensitivity will set the stage for a strong therapeutic alliance.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of the Muslim faith?
The directory of Muslim therapists includes mental health providers who have shared their cultural background in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist with a similar background. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists identified as Muslim is limited, the directory will also show therapists with extensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
