Held to a standard

Every counsellor is either BACP registered/accredited, or a trainee working toward registration under supervision. All hold formal therapeutic training and active professional indemnity insurance.

Trained in the framework, not just the faith

Our counsellors are trained or in training in Islamic psychology, integrating it into practice rather than treating faith as a complication or an afterthought.

Culturally fluent

Our counsellors understand what it means to live between two identities in the UK, and speak the languages that matter to you, including English, Urdu and Bengali.
