I founded Ibn Sina Sanctuary because I wanted people to have a place where they could speak honestly about their mental health without feeling they had to leave their faith or culture at the door.
As an integrative counsellor, I offer a space to slow down and make sense of what you're carrying. You might be living with anxiety, recovering from an abusive relationship, struggling with addiction or trying to understand the impact of earlier experiences. You do not need to have the right words for it before you come to therapy. We can begin with where you are.
My approach is grounded in person-centred and psychodynamic counselling, and informed by my background in psychology and Islamic psychology. I pay attention to both what you're experiencing now and the patterns that may have developed over time: how you learned to cope, what you came to believe about yourself and what happens when those ways of coping no longer serve you.
I work with adults and young people, with a particular focus on supporting women. Faith can be part of our conversations if it matters to you. There is room to explore it openly, including difficult questions, without judgement or pressure. We'll work at a pace that feels manageable, with curiosity and care for the whole of your story.
