Do you offer sessions in person or remotely?
At the moment, all sessions are conducted online via Zoom.
-
When can I have sessions?
Sessions are typically booked within 3 weeks of your initial consultation. I tend to book sessions according to available appointments - this is usually mid morning or mid afternoon/late evening.
-
How often will I need to come to therapy?
I recommend CBT on a weekly basis. Sessions tend to go up to 12 or even 20 sessions. I always ask clients to commit to an initial 6 and then see if they require further treatment. For more deep rooted mental health issues, extended time in therapy is an option but always with a view to treating your condition and alleviating the problem.
-
Can I bring someone with me?
Unfortunately, I do not offer sessions for couples or families. Sessions must be booked by and attended by the individual receiving the therapy alone. I tend not to book appointments via family members and kindly request that the client themselves reach out if they require an appointment.

How do you ensure that the therapy is faith-sensitive and respects Islamic values while helping with anxiety or depression?
The therapy space is an open environment where you can share and discuss your beliefs in a safe and non judgmental environment without fear of dismissal. For Muslim clients, we may explore your understanding of Islamic principles and concepts such as Tawakkul (trust in God), Sabr (steadfastness), and your understanding of waswasa (satanic whispers), ibtila (trials) and the nafs (lower self). This should support and encourage your growth and healing journey.
