“Person-centred, culturally sensitive counselling, a space to feel seen and heard”

Verified by Kyan

About Eslam

I offer a warm, accepting and collaborative space to explore whatever you are going through, together. My approach is person-centred and culturally sensitive. I am particularly interested in supporting people exploring identity, life transitions, neurodivergence and spirituality. I also work with anxiety, stress, anger, depression, shame, loneliness, grief and childhood trauma.

I hold a Masters in Psychology from University College London, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Liverpool John Moores University and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Counselling from Salford University. I trained in person-centred and experiential counselling. I have worked across the charity sector, NHS mental health services and private organisations.

I currently offer sessions online for anyone aged 16 and over within the UK. There are not many spaces for people to feel seen and heard, and I hope to offer such a space with my counselling work.

How Eslam works

My approach to therapy is person-centred and culturally sensitive, drawing on experiential and humanistic ways of working. You will be encouraged to bring your own issues to the session. The counselling is often led by you and not directed by me. I support clients to understand and explore their inner world, past traumatic experiences and personal conflicts. Every few sessions we discuss how your progress is going, to make sure your needs are being met.

Approaches

General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Eslam works.

Person-centred therapy

Person-centred therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, starts from the idea that you are the expert on your own life. The therapist offers warmth, empathy and genuine attention without steering the conversation, so you can explore what matters to you at your own pace. Many people find it helps them feel heard and grow in confidence and self-understanding.

Humanistic therapy

Humanistic therapies see every person as capable of growth and focus on the whole person rather than a diagnosis. They value the relationship between client and therapist, your own experience and your right to make your own choices. Person-centred, gestalt and existential therapy are among the best-known humanistic approaches.

Questions and answers

Where are the appointments held?

Appointments are held online by video. I will send you the link before the session.

Who do you work with?

I offer sessions online for anyone aged 16 and over.

How many sessions will we have?

The number of sessions depends on you. Some people prefer fewer, others prefer more. We will discuss how your progress is going every few sessions to make sure your needs are being met.

How do we end therapy together?

Just talk to me about it. The conversation about ending can sometimes feel awkward or strange, but I would never want anyone to continue working with me if they feel ready to move on.

Which languages do you speak?

I am fluent in English and can comfortably converse in Arabic.
