Islamic Counselling

What is Islamic Counselling?
Islamic Counselling is a talking therapy which provides a safe and private space to reflect and work through issues and difficult feelings with guidance from the Quran and Sunnah.

We all experience difficulties and distress in our lives. Sometimes people can be isolated but at other times, even where an individual has the most supportive family and friends, they can find it difficult (if not impossible) to explain why. For example, they may be feeling anxious or depressed. Or it may be easier to talk about personal, family or relationship issues with a person who is impartial and professional. Other life issues and events which can be very difficult to deal with include bereavement, divorce, redundancy, health issues and so on. However, you do not have to be in crisis or on the verge of one, before choosing to have therapy. You may be experiencing underlying feelings of dissatisfaction with life in general or be seeking balance in your life and spirituality. All of these reasons and more will bring individuals to therapy.

Islam teaches us that by expressing ourselves and being heard we can often move through a process to find inner peace, which allows us to prosper and excel in both our daily lives and our faith.
