Karima El Ghaouti Hajjoubi

I currently have availability for new clients and my working hours are flexible, including some daytime and evening appointments.

Session times are agreed collaboratively and I do my best to accommodate individual needs where possible. Availability may change depending on demand, but I will always be clear and transparent about this.

If I am due to take time off or will be unavailable for a period, I will inform clients in advance and discuss any necessary arrangements to ensure continuity and support.

My name is Karima, and I am a 麻豆原创-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor. I work with people who feel emotionally overwhelmed, deeply lonely, or who have spent much of their lives holding everything together on their own. Many of the clients who come to me feel they do not quite fit in, have had to grow up too quickly, or carry the emotional impact of complex family or relational experiences into adulthood.

My approach to therapy is warm, relational, and deeply human. I believe therapy is not a place to be judged or 鈥渇ixed鈥�, but a safe space where you can finally be yourself, including the parts of you that feel painful, confusing, or difficult to put into words. I place great importance on building a genuine therapeutic relationship where you feel seen, heard,d and respected, at your own pace.

I have experience working with grief and loss, loneliness, difficult relationships, emotional wounds from childhood, low self-esteem, anxiety, and major life transitions. I also support clients who feel disconnected from themselves or who notice repeating relational patterns they wish to understand and change.

I offer sessions in a confidential, respectful, and supportive space where you will be met with empathy and understanding.

In our sessions, you can expect a space that is confidential, compassionate, and collaborative. I will not tell you what to do or offer quick fixes; instead, I will support you in developing deeper self-awareness, emotional understanding, and self-compassion. Together, we may explore patterns, emotions, and meanings that feel difficult to hold alone, always at a pace that feels safe for you.

I am especially mindful when working with clients who feel alone, unheard, or emotionally burdened, and I value creating a therapeutic relationship where trust can grow gradually. Therapy with me is not about 鈥渂eing fixed,鈥� but about being met as you are and supported in finding your own way forward.

Sessions are offered in a respectful and professional setting, with regular supervision to ensure ethical and reflective practice.

Before we begin therapy, I offer a free initial assessment call, which takes place via phone or video call. This usually lasts around 15鈥�20 minutes and is offered at no cost.

This initial conversation gives us both the opportunity to see whether working together feels right. It is a space for you to briefly share what has brought you to counselling, ask any questions you may have, and get a sense of how I work. I will also explain practical aspects such as confidentiality, boundaries, and what therapy with me may look like.

The assessment is not a therapy session, and there is no obligation to continue afterwards. Its purpose is to help ensure that counselling feels safe, appropriate, and supportive for you before committing to ongoing sessions.

If we both feel comfortable proceeding, we will then agree on a regular time to begin therapy.
