Finally, therapy that gets you
You've been there – sitting across from someone who just doesn't get it.
Who doesn't understand your culture, your faith, your struggles. It's exhausting.
This is different.
A space where you can breathe, laugh, cry, and just be. No judgment. No awkward formality. Just real connection and genuine understanding. Whether you're looking for deep emotional healing or practical steps forward, we'll find your path together.

How I can help
Counselling
Sometimes, you just need a space to talk things through—without judgment, without pressure. That’s exactly what I offer. Using psychodynamic and person-centered approaches, I’ll meet you where you are, supporting you as you explore your thoughts and emotions. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to make sense of things, let’s figure this out together!
Islamic Therapy
I know what it’s like to sit in therapy and feel like your faith or culture isn’t fully understood. That’s why I offer a space where all of you—your experiences, your struggles, and your beliefs—are acknowledged. When it’s helpful, I may draw upon Islamic therapeutic approaches to support you in aligning your heart and mind. But most importantly, I’ll listen.
Coaching
You’ve got goals, ideas, maybe even big dreams—but sometimes, figuring out the next step can feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in.
As your coach, I’ll help you stay focused, clear on your direction, and actually move forward. Think of it as having someone in your corner—not to push, but to guide and support.
Imagine this being your new reality...
✅ You'll finally understand why you are the way you are and heal
✅ Take back control of your life
✅ Self-awareness transforms how you move through the world
✅ Clarity replaces confusion
✅ Your culture and identity are celebrated, not just accepted
Meet your Therapist
Hi, Assalamu ‘alaikum, I’m Sumeya.
I strive to create a warm, safe space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and past experiences.
I specialise in supporting women through anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, cultural identity , trauma recovery, and relationship dynamics. I also work with survivors of childhood and adult sexual abuse, offering a compassionate and culturally sensitive approach.
What makes my work unique is my integrative approach, blending Psychodynamic and Islamic therapy to honor the whole person—mind, heart, and identity. I understand firsthand how culture, faith, and personal experiences shape our mental health journeys, and I meet you exactly where you are.
I offer in-person sessions and occasionally online. Let’s navigate this journey together.
Wondering How This All Works?
Let’s clear up the question marks.
What if I'm new to therapy?
We'll take it step by step, and I'll explain everything along the way.
Online or in-person?
I offer sessions in-person in West Hampstead, London and occasionally online.
I've tried therapy before and it didn't work...
I hear you. Sometimes it takes a few tries. Let's chat about what didn't work before and how we can make this time different.
How much does it cost?
Sessions cost £50 per session
Do you offer Art Therapy?
No not yet, but if you do want do get creative in whichever way you want, we can always do that.
How do I know if you're the right fit?
That's what the free consultation is for. We'll chat, you'll get a feel for my style, and we'll both know if it's right. No pressure, just honest conversation.
What happens in our first session?
A chill start: This might not be what you want to hear, but the first session is however you want it to be, you can talk about anything, go at your own pace. Share what you’re ready to. No pressure.
It might feel awkward: That’s normal. It often gets easier as you go. Therapy is all about you. Just showing up is a huge step!
A little Q&A: During the first sessions we'll probably run through a contract, I may ask you why you’ve chosen to come to therapy? your life, and what you want to work on, and yes, it's okay if you don’t know what you want to work on.
