About me and my practice
About me
Hi, I’m Farah and I'm a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, registered with the BACP, offering individual therapy and counselling sessions for adults, both face-to-face in London and online.
I provide a space for you to be seen and heard. One where you can explore, be curious, learn more about yourself and importantly, a space for you to just be.
My background includes publishing, mental health research and communications. Alongside practicing as an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist I also work in communications for a young people's mental health charity.
The mental health and wellbeing of marginalised and minoritised individuals and communities is an area of my practice which I am especially passionate about. As well as being registered with the BACP and adhering to their ethics code, I am also a member of the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network which seeks to: 'address the inequality of access to appropriate psychological services'.
My approach to counselling and psychotherapy
My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is culturally-attuned and I strive to root the way I work in anti-oppressive practice, aware of power and systems both within and outside of therapy.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on and blend together a number of approaches, responding to what you need and your preferences as an individual. This includes approaches such as person-centered, thinking about the here and now; psychodynamic, exploring the past to understand your present; as well as mindfulness-based behavioural exercises.
It can be difficult, at times, to find the words to express or begin exploring what's happening for us. I also use creativity, art-making and mindfulness-based activities in our counselling sessions as a way to get in touch with your inner world.
Ultimately, I believe in working collaboratively with you, finding the right blend of approaches which provide the space you need to speak your truth, discover the resources you have within yourself which enable change and empower you to live authentically.
