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.

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, outside of our immediate circle, who will listen without judgement. There are so many reasons why we seek counselling and for each person these reasons may change over time. Whilst counselling for one person may be about releasing and being heard, for someone else it may be to work on the past or for another to work on current challenges or towards a future goal. Driven by the nature of our work together, I employ creative and/or practical methods, depending on your preferences and what you feel you need from your sessions. As each client’s needs vary, so does the therapy that I provide.

I believe that in everyone, there is a part that thrives, that’s dynamic, strong and so very wonderful.

Hello. If you're reading this, you're probably asking yourself some tricky questions. Perhaps you've noticed something about your relationships, your friendships, your family, your career, your lifestyle, that no longer sits right. You'd love to know who you really are, and how you can get there without tripping yourself up (again). Maybe there is something you've already tried to change over and over again, in many different ways. But whatever you do, stuff keeps on coming straight back. That doesn't sound like fun.

Infertility Counsellors

How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?

Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.

How does therapy for infertility issues work?

The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.

What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?

Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.

How long does therapy for infertility issues take?

There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
