I am Zahra, a dedicated therapist and coach passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges. With a background in psychotherapeutic counselling, I support clients dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and anger management issues. My approach is compassionate, holistic, and rooted in evidence-based practices. I believe in fostering a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings, set goals, and create meaningful life changes. My mission is to help you regain control, build resilience, and live a more fulfilled, balanced life.
As a British Muslim immigrant who fulfills the roles of mother and spouse, I often struggle to balance my responsibilities as a caretaker and homemaker amid life's demands. Despite the challenges, I've built a new life for my family from scratch. This journey has been difficult, but my determination to create a home and community motivates me. I've faced various obstacles and emotional ups and downs in parenting, cultural adjustments, job difficulties, childcare, education, and social isolation—issues that have affected both my children and me in our new country. I understand how overwhelming life can be, and if you're facing similar struggles, I'm here to provide emotional support. Let's work together for a better tomorrow—starting today, including navigating anger management and trauma counseling as needed.
Despite numerous blessings, I grappled with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. Nevertheless, I resolutely pursued self-improvement through therapy, seminars, and volunteering, focusing on areas like anger management and emotional support. Overcoming these challenges enabled me to discover my vocation as a certified counsellor specializing in trauma counseling. I acquired the ability to transform anger into constructive progress and established clear boundaries, thus empowering myself to decline engagements that proved draining. Today, I am motivated to share my journey to assist others who are confronting similar emotional struggles, including self-doubt, anger, and challenges in personal growth.
My passion is to help individuals rediscover their sense of purpose and fulfillment. Through extensive counseling and coaching training, I have understood that healing and growth are possible for everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs. Whether you seek anger management, emotional support, or trauma counseling, I honor and respect where you are on your journey and will never judge what you follow or choose not to follow. I focus on providing supportive, ethical care personalized to your unique needs. Together, we will work towards lasting, positive change—step by step—with empathy, respect, and understanding at the heart of our work. I believe in the power of self-discovery and resilience, and I am here to guide you through the process at your own pace. We will move together towards a brighter future no matter where you start.
As an integrative pluralistic therapist, I offer a flexible, informed approach to therapy, combining techniques like CBT, ACT, DBT, and Gestalt Therapy to help you manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

Whether you're processing grief, navigating neurodivergent challenges, or managing anxiety, stress, and other emotional difficulties, including anger management, I provide compassionate emotional support and practical strategies to build resilience, improve focus, and find inner calm. Additionally, I offer trauma counseling to empower you with the tools needed to create meaningful change and progress in your life.
I hold professional counselling qualifications and have been trained to provide emotional support during your times of distress. With my expertise in trauma counseling and a compassionate approach, I am dedicated to helping you navigate your feelings, including anger management, and find the path to well-being.
Your circumstances are unique, and so is your path to transformation. But you are not alone on this journey; I am here to provide emotional support as we navigate through anger management and trauma counseling together, listening attentively and creating a customized roadmap for your healing.

I believe every individual has the innate ability to heal, grow, and transform, regardless of their past experiences. As a counsellor specializing in trauma counseling, I provide a secure, compassionate environment where you can express your emotions and thoughts without fear of judgment. My approach centres on building a trusting, supportive therapeutic relationship tailored to your unique needs. I integrate proven techniques such as person-centred, psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), including tapping, to ensure that each session is practical and personally meaningful. Additionally, I offer anger management strategies to help you navigate intense emotions effectively. I utilise timeline-focusing and visualisation, which helps you gain clarity by visualising your past, present, and future. This process allows you to identify recurring patterns and themes, providing insights into your struggles. It also helps you connect with your inner resources, visualise positive change, and cultivate hope and motivation for a brighter future, all while receiving emotional support throughout your journey.
