Uzma Mukhtar

I am Uzma, an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor, offering a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where individuals and families can explore their experiences, understand their emotions and work towards meaningful change at their own pace.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults, adults and families, supporting people experiencing trauma, anxiety, low mood, emotional difficulties, relationship challenges and significant life transitions. My clinical experience includes working with individuals affected by childhood adversity, domestic abuse, bereavement, family difficulties and challenges with emotional regulation and self-esteem.

I hold an MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy for Children, Adolescents and Families from the University of Roehampton. My integrative approach draws on a range of therapeutic perspectives, allowing me to tailor therapy to each person's individual needs, developmental stage and circumstances. I am safeguarding trained and DBS checked.

Alongside my therapeutic work, I have an interest in supporting parents and carers through workshops focused on recognising emotional distress, understanding children's needs and developing resilience and coping skills.

I founded Firefly Therapeutics as a compassionate and inclusive practice, built around the belief that every individual deserves to feel heard, understood and valued. I recognise that our cultural backgrounds, family relationships, identities and lived experiences shape how we understand ourselves and relate to others. I therefore place particular importance on offering culturally sensitive therapy that respects each person's unique experiences and values.

I offer sessions in English, Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi, and provide online therapy.
