Hello,
Welcome to my page.
My name is Salma, and I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I would like to take a moment to share a bit about my academic background and professional experiences.
I hold a degree in Psychology and Criminology, which has provided me with a strong foundation to understand the complexities of human behaviour.
My journey in mental health began with various charitable organisations, where I dedicated myself to supporting individuals navigating mental health challenges.
Motivated by my passion for helping others, I pursued my masters where I completed my professional training in counselling and psychotherapy.
During my clinical training, I gained valuable experience working with the NHS in a general practice setting, supporting clients dealing with issues such as depression, grief, domestic violence, and anxiety.
Additionally, I spent three years working with a charity focused on assisting victims of human trafficking and modern slavery.
I firmly believe that each of us is on a unique journey, and at some point, we may experience feelings of emptiness, disconnection, loss, or numbness.
It is my heartfelt conviction that no one should have to face these challenges alone.
My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can explore these feelings and gain deeper insights into yourself.
My therapeutic approach is primarily person-centred approach, placing your unique experiences and emotions at the forefront of our sessions. In my practice, I am committed to creating a supportive environment where you can express yourself freely, fostering both personal growth and healing.
If you're ready to embark on this journey together, I invite you to reach out. I am here to help you navigate your path

In the short time Salma and I have been chatting, I feel she’s provided me with invaluable feedback, insight and allowed me to feel validated.
I look forward to our sessions and the support that’s provided

Salma listened me very carefully and remember all the words I say. She gave me great advice and let me think as well.
I felt lighter after all the sessions.
She is a great therapist.

I have never done therapy before so I was a bit apprehensive about how it would go and what my therapist would be like. I feel so comfortable talking with Salma, she makes me look at a glass half full rather than half empty. She is a great listener and gives great advice and directions for when I may need them. I would highly recommend her and Betterhelp.
Thank you

I started this with an open mind. I wasn’t sure what to expect or if I would click with my first suggested therapist. But Salma is a beam of light and her calmness/calm voice guides me through each session. She leaves it completely up to me what we talk about. This is the first time I’ve felt this listened to. She has helped me make sense of a lot of things and is so approachable and respectful about everything. She really knows what she is talking about, specifically she has helped me to combat times of overthinking. I can really feel the duty of care she feels, I can’t recommend her enough!!
