Centre for Emotional Health & Healing

Profile

Registered Psychotherapist and trained Imam with over two decades of service in diverse, multicultural communities. I integrate the wisdom of Islamic teachings with evidence-based therapeutic modalities — offering a holistic approach that honours faith, culture, and emotional wellbeing.

I believe a person can be mentally sound while facing emotional or social challenges. Counselling helps address these challenges — offering support and strategies to improve emotional, relational, and social wellbeing.

My Approach

Imagine sitting in a cozy room, the faint scent of freshly brewed tea lingering in the air as you and your partner face challenges that seem insurmountable. The weight of grief or the strain of unspoken emotions hangs heavy between you. It's a scenario familiar to many — where the complexities of relationships, the trials of parenthood, or the echoes of past traumas cast shadows over the present.

In that moment, what you yearn for is a path forward — a way to reconnect, to heal, and to find solace together. You dream of rediscovering the joy and understanding that once defined your relationship; of building a future where communication flows freely and wounds begin to mend.

As your counsellor, I bring not only professional expertise but also a deep understanding of the intricate intersections of faith, culture, and human psychology. As a trained Imam and licensed counsellor, I integrate the wisdom of Islamic teachings with evidence-based therapeutic modalities — providing a holistic approach that resonates with your beliefs and values.

Let's embark on this journey together. I provide a completely confidential, non-judgmental, therapeutic, safe, and sacred space for every client. We begin with a phone or video call — to get to know each other, understand your goals, and answer any questions you may have.
