Billal Ahmed

I work from a psychodynamic perspective, exploring how past experiences and unconscious patterns may shape your current thoughts, feelings, and relationships. My approach is grounded in offering a reflective, non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and at your own pace.

Through my experience in both private practice and university settings, I have worked extensively with neurodiverse clients, and I am attentive to different ways of thinking, processing, and communicating. I aim to adapt the pace and focus of the work in a way that feels accessible and responsive to you.

Alongside this, my background in philosophy informs an openness to exploring broader questions around meaning, identity, and purpose, where these arise within the work.

While my foundation is psychodynamic, I work flexibly and may draw on other approaches where this supports your individual needs. Together, we may also pay attention to patterns that emerge within the therapeutic relationship, as a way of deepening understanding and supporting lasting change.

I offer 50-minute sessions on a weekly basis, at a regular time. This consistency provides a stable and reliable space for the therapeutic work to develop over time.

At the beginning of our work, we will have an initial consultation to explore what brings you to therapy and whether we feel able to work together. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions about the process.

I offer both short-term and longer-term, open-ended therapy depending on your needs. Sessions are confidential, and I adhere to professional and ethical guidelines as set out by the Â鶹ԭ´´.

I work with both in-person and online sessions. I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations; sessions missed without sufficient notice are usually charged in full.

I offer an initial 30-minute consultation at a cost of £30. This provides an opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy, discuss your expectations, and ask any questions, both practical and about my therapeutic approach.

If we decide to continue working together, we will agree on a regular weekly time for sessions. The cost of the initial consultation will be deducted from the fee for your first full session.
