Are you struggling with low mood and anxiety? Do you have difficulties with your self-esteem, body image your relationship with food? Have you experienced a traumatic life event? Struggling in your relationships at home and at work? Or are you experiencing an overall lack of happiness and fulfilment in your life which makes you less hopeful for the future? Then you are not alone. Many of us experience these difficulties, at various points in our lives. The good thing is, you are here now, wanting to seek help. To get started, you can request an initial appointment with Dr Ishba Rehman (free of cost) to discuss your needs and goals.

In the current world of uncertainty and change, it has been a challenging time for ourselves, our loved ones and society’s mental health. Counselling explores difficulties you are having, distress you may be experiencing, dissatisfaction with life or loss of a sense of direction & purpose. I will listen attentively, in a non-judgemental way, provided in a professional and respectful manner, counselling will begin to bring awareness and help you to see things more clearly, possibly from a different perspective. I have worked with children & adults, giving equal respect and treatment, regardless of their background or beliefs.

My name is Abida and I am qualified Therapeutic counsellor. I believe in taking care of our mental health as well as taking care of our physical health. If you are experiencing difficulties in your life and strugging with issue such as stress, bereavement, anxiety ,domestic violence, relationship issues, I am here to provide a safe space for you to share your problems. I am a very calm and emphatic person and hold skills to provide professional help for you. Nobody needs to suffer in silence and to be alone in their difficult times.

Whatever may be troubling you, I can help. Our lives are impacted by our history, culture, social circumstances, friendships and a whole host of other factors. These aspects condition us to respond and interact with people and situations in our lives in very particular ways. My work with you would be to understand your life from your unique perspective and help you get in touch with a more resourced part of yourself, which is beyond the psychological and social conditioning, to help you overcome any difficulties or challenges you may be facing.

Every now and then life puts in front of us some obstacles that can be difficult to overcome without support. When left to our own accords these hurdles can often take us on a downward spiral, and lead us to feel insufficient, insecure, anxious, stressed or even depressed. It may be a familiar relationship that brings in the challenge or a social, behavioural, financial or work related issue. The worries that keep you up at night may be due to many reasons but if they are taking over and leave you feeling isolated in life, it might be time to seek support from someone who can help navigate through the difficult period.
