If you're struggling with anxiety or with the effects of painful past experiences that continue to affect your life, I offer a therapeutic space where we can work together to create a way forward for you through understanding, exploration, processing and reconnecting with your self and with life.

About me

Hello — I'm Farah.

I was drawn to psychology through my interests in humanities, social sciences and pop culture. This allows me to bring a broad perspective on human experiencing to my work with clients.

I endeavour to offer a warm, non judgmental therapy space, where we'll look at your difficulties as well as your strengths, recognising your resilience and the ways in which you've adapted to survive challenges and adversities.

Symptoms of distress will be understood as having a meaning unique to you, rather than just as criteria for a diagnostic label.

Continuing my professional development in psychology and working clinically for over a decade now, I utilise a framework that:

1. Acknowledges the role of wider, external systems on individual mental health (the power threat meaning framework & other anti oppressive approaches)

2. Aims to empower the client to respond to their circumstances and nurture their wellbeing in ways that are possible within their social and cultural contexts

3. Places therapists and clients as collaborators working together towards agreed upon goals

I specialise in working with anxiety based mental health concerns, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), and with adults wishing to address the impact of childhood parentification, emotional trauma, neglect or sexual abuse.
