“Psychodynamic counselling that welcomes your whole self”

Verified by Kyan

About Zainab

Hello, I'm Zainab and I work as a Psychodynamic Counsellor. I feel strongly about welcoming every person I meet with curiosity and acceptance of their values and beliefs, no matter what their background. I am open to exploring difference and diversity and how this has shaped your story. I work with adults, from young adults to older adults, whether you are seeking short-term support or long-term therapy.

I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Practice at Oxford University. I am a member of the BACP and UPCA.

I see clients in a private therapy room in Mountsorrel, Loughborough, and by telephone and online across the UK. I work on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, with evening sessions on request. Alongside English, I also speak Gujarati and Urdu.

How Zainab works

Working psychodynamically means that we build a relationship that allows us to look at the root of your problems, within a space that welcomes your authentic self. I aim to offer an environment in which you feel contained and accepted. I look forward to hearing your story from your perspective, so that we may explore and seek to understand what has made you, you. From this we can work out a way of being that feels true and real. I invite you to bring your whole self, so that you feel able to hold the pen that writes your story.

Approaches

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

Psychodynamic therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores how earlier experiences, and feelings you may not be fully aware of, shape your life today. Patterns that show up in your relationships, and sometimes in the relationship with the therapist, become something to understand together. It is often used for recurring difficulties with mood, relationships and self-esteem.
