Availability

I currently have limited availability for new clients. I can usually offer a small number of appointments each week and, where possible, I can arrange sessions at short notice or offer alternative times if your schedule changes.

Sessions

Online sessions available UK-wide.

In-person sessions available in Birmingham and in central London. My London practice is based in the heart of London, with a calm, welcoming office setting.

Out of office

If I am away or fully booked, I will reply within 2 working days. If you need urgent support, please contact your GP, NHS 111, or call 999 in an emergency.

 I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but I’m here to meet you where you are with compassion and care. With years of experience working closely with individuals, couples, and families, I’ve supported clients through anxiety, trauma, loss, addiction, relationship struggles, and the impacts of abuse.

I am an OBE-awarded psychotherapist, recognised for my work supporting survivors of trauma and abuse, and for championing systemic change through therapy and advocacy. I feel deeply honoured to walk alongside my clients, to witness their courage, hold space for their pain, and support their growth. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where healing becomes possible. I work integratively in both English and Arabic, specialising in trauma, domestic abuse, grief, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Therapy with me is a collaborative journey, rooted in trust, empathy, and a shared belief in your capacity to heal and thrive.

As an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I adapt my approach to suit your needs, blending techniques like CBT, person-centred, and Gestalt therapy. I offer a safe, understanding space where you can explore your emotions and build resilience. Therapy is more than a process; it’s a journey we take together toward healing and growth.

My London practice and clinic is for people who have been carrying too much for too long and want therapy that is both human and effective.

I specialise in trauma and complex presentations, including PTSD, complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, panic, grief and loss, and the lasting impact of high-stress or harmful experiences. Many of the patients I support are functioning on the outside while privately struggling with hypervigilance, intrusive memories, sleep disruption, emotional overwhelm, dissociation, or a constant sense of threat. Therapy here is designed to help you feel safe again in your body, steady in your mind, and confident in your choices.

My work is shaped not only by clinical training, but by lived exposure to the realities of systems, crisis, and what it takes to keep going when life has been unfair. I am a fighter by nature, and I bring that same strength into the therapy room: calm, grounded, and focused on progress. You will be met with warmth and clarity, not judgment. We will work with structure and purpose, at a pace that feels safe, and with methods that are trauma-informed and evidence-based.

Patients often tell me they feel understood quickly, and that the work helps them make sense of what they are carrying, reduce symptoms, and rebuild trust in themselves and in life. Over the years, I have supported hundreds of people to move from survival mode into a more settled, connected way of living.

Sessions are available in my calm, private, welcoming central London clinic, with online appointments also available UK-wide.

First session (Assessment)

Your first session is an initial assessment. This is a focused, supportive space for me to understand what has brought you to therapy, what you have been coping with, and what you would like to change. We will explore your current symptoms, relevant history, triggers and stressors, and what support has or has not helped in the past.

You will leave the session with more clarity and an initial plan. If it feels right to continue, we will agree on the best way of working together, including the main goals for therapy and a direction for treatment.

Therapy length

Depending on your needs and what you are bringing, we can work either short-term (targeted work over a set number of sessions) or longer-term (deeper, paced work for complex or longstanding difficulties). We will review progress regularly and adjust the plan as needed.

My practice is located in a peaceful and welcoming centre in the heart of Birmingham city centre. The therapy room is thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable and confidential space to feel safe and supported during sessions.

The centre is conveniently situated close to major transport links, including Birmingham Moor Street Station and central bus routes, making it easily accessible by public transport or car.

I take great care to ensure that my clients feel at ease from the moment they arrive, offering a calming and supportive environment to help you on your journey toward healing and growth.  

Each therapy session lasts 50 minutes for individual clients and 90 minutes for couples therapy. I offer both short-term therapies for focused goals and long-term, open-ended therapy for deeper exploration. My practice is inclusive and tailored to support individuals dealing with a wide range of issues, including:

Trauma and loss

depression/ Anxiety

Addiction

Domestic abuse

Neurodiversity-related challenges

Severe mental health conditions such as psychosis and schizophrenia

I offer an initial 15-minute phone consultation free of charge. This allows us to discuss your needs and determine if we are a good fit to work together.

If we decide to proceed, the first session will be an assessment. During this session, I will get to know you, gather some essential information, and work with you to outline the goals for your therapy journey. This initial session sets the foundation for our work together, ensuring that your sessions are tailored to your specific needs and aspirations.

Please note that all sessions must be paid in advance to confirm your appointment.
