Female Counselling in Ilford, ENG

Hello , and thank you for visiting my profile. As a second-generation Muslim psychotherapist with a deep understanding of intercultural dynamics, I specialise in working with Muslim and South Asian clients. While our backgrounds vary, there's often a shared journey shaped by family, religion, and community expectations. Anxiety, depression, low mood and life's challenges affect us all, yet cultural nuances can influence how we perceive and address them. In cross-cultural psychotherapy, I honor the significance of race, ethnicity, religion, and culture, fostering a safe space for healing.

I work with anyone who is interested in exploring or changing their situation, thoughts or feelings. We can discuss your issues on a deep level and resolve them using simple, intelligent ways forward. These ways forward will include CBT techniques, analytic understanding, and relaxation tools.

I graduated in 2018 and was accredited by Dr Paul in 2019. I also trained and qualified in India as a yoga instructor in 2019. By that point, having graduated in Business studies, Acting and languages, as well as yoga/meditation, and my Doctorate in 2023.

Hi, my name is Sultana Begum. I am of Bengali origin. Having been raised and lived for over forty years in London, I am a Londoner.

Hi I am Nicole Henry. I counsel children & young people between the ages of 5- 18 years old. Since working with children and young people supporting their needs brings me such delight to see them grow to become the person they are. Children and young people establish a rapport, build trust and receive an empathetic ear throughout the time spent. Seeing an impact and change within the community of children and young people keeps me going for our society. Along side working privately I work in a primary and secondary school as a school counsellor.

I have dedicated the last 10 years of my career to working within the mental health and wellbeing services, and this has left me with the skills and expertise to support those in a variety of situations and from a range of different backgrounds. I offer brief (6-12 sessions) and longer term (open ended) counselling and psychotherapy. Being an Integrative Psychotherapist means that I am able to adapt therapy around you and use different approaches based on what is most appropriate for you and your needs. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, relational, interactive and creative.

Are you struggling with feelings such as shock, guilt, regret, or anger? Stuck in emotional pain and it is affecting what you do or can't do? Not coping well with changes that are making your life unmanageable? Loss and grief is such a personal, unique experience that needs to be processed to mine the meaning of the relationship for you. Working with me, a highly experienced bereavement specialist, can give you the confidence in making the pathway to healing smoother. With support and guidance, it is possible to respond in different ways to our wounding experiences. And maybe even learn to cope well with future losses, too.

Have you been feeling depressed, discouraged perhaps stuck? Do you feel guilty, have regret, anger or low self-esteem? I have good practical experience to support and give you proper guidelines to cope with these issues in your present life. I work with children, adults as well as couples and families who are having relationship struggles and want to enhance the quality of their relationships.

Do you find yourself struggling with feelings of disconnection and anxiety, uncertain about the reasons behind your emotions? Are you exhausted with overthinking, constant self-criticism, difficulty relaxing, and never feeling good enough. Are you a new mum, a seasoned mum, or an empty nest mum? Life's transitions can leave us questioning our identity, purpose, and feeling lost in the whirlwind of emotions. Or you are experiencing the loss of a loved one? One of the most life-changing events. I provide a confidential and safe place for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.

I love working with people and I enjoy helping them. I believe that each human being is capable of making changes in his/her life if he/she wants to. I am willing to help people to increase their self-awareness, to find their skills, motivation and willpower to set their goals and fulfil their dreams. I am an Accredited BACP counsellor (MBACP).

I am a passionate and experienced integrative counsellor/psychotherapist which means I draw on different therapies to tailor to each unique client I work with.

Hello, I'm Ashlyn. I am a warm and approachable counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work collaboratively with clients to help them understand their problems. Using an integrative approach, I combine various methods to cater to each person's unique needs. I believe a one-size-fits-all method isn't effective, so I tailor my approach to each individual. As your therapist, my role is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, rather than provide answers.
