Hi, I'm Zainab, a clinical psychologist passionate about nurturing mental health and fostering resilience. I provide psychological services to children, adolescents and adults presenting with a range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. This includes supporting people who are experiencing distress that feels overwhelming, disruptive, or difficult to understand, and working with them to develop healthier ways of coping, improved insight into themselves and their relationships, and pathways forward. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centred. I work with a range of psychological concerns, including:
• Complex Trauma • Grief and loss • Crisis intervention • Anxiety, stress, depression and bipolar • Emotional regulation and behavioural difficulties • Relationship, attachment, and family dynamics • Identity, self-esteem, intimacy and adjustment challenges • Support for postgraduate students and high-functioning adults • Parenting support • ADHD
Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially when difficulties have persisted or it's unclear where to begin. Therapy offers a calm, supportive space to slow down, feel heard, and make sense of your experiences at a manageable pace. This foundation grounds my work, creating room for exploration, understanding, and growth tailored to your needs.

Therapy is guided by your needs, experiences, and goals so that it is meaningful and relevant to you. I draw on play therapy, CBT to support practical coping and understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact, psychodynamic therapy to explore relational patterns, and a person-centred approach to create a supportive space that prioritises understanding, acceptance, and growth.
