Hello, I’m Nabeelah and I’m a counsellor and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist. I work with women from all backgrounds, with a special focus on supporting South Asian women. My goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges and work towards a healthier, happier you.
I offer compassionate, culturally sensitive therapy through online video and telephone sessions, making it easier for you to access support from anywhere in the UK.
Please have a look at my short introductory video.
How I Can Help You?

Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Through our work together, I can help you:
Manage Anxiety and Stress: Learn effective strategies to reduce anxiety and cope with daily stress, empowering you to regain control and find peace.
Navigate Depression: Work through feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and fatigue with a supportive approach that helps you rediscover joy and purpose.
Improve Relationships: Gain insight into your relationship patterns and develop healthier communication skills to build stronger, more fulfilling connections.
Boost Self-Esteem: Uncover and challenge negative beliefs about yourself, and cultivate a more positive, confident self-image.
Support During Menopause: Navigate the physical and emotional changes of menopause with understanding and compassion, helping you feel balanced and supported.
Heal After Miscarriage: Process your grief and find comfort in a safe, non-judgmental space as you work through the emotional impact of miscarriage.
Explore Cultural Identity: Address the unique challenges of balancing cultural values and expectations, with personal growth and well-being.
Every woman’s journey is unique, and I’m here to provide a personalised approach that meets you where you are. Together, we can work towards making changes to improve your emotional wellbeing.
