Welcome, I'm Tahreen, I am qualified counsellor. I'm truly aware that the first step on this journey can be overwhelming please be reassured I will always work at a pace that you feel comfortable with as we are working towards your desired goals. I work with a non-hierarchical framework focusing on the principles of safety, trust, choice, collaboration, empowerment and cultural consideration. I am caring, compassionate and genuinely interested in listening to each of my client’s personal experiences with the understanding that each individual is unique.

​

Since the start of my career, I’ve had a passion for working towards helping clients achieve their goals and stepping forward in their lives. I am passionate about the work I do, my aim is to help you become the best version of yourself as I believe everyone has the ability to grow and I would appreciate being part of your journey in doing so.

If you are stuck experiencing feelings such as anger, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, low self-esteem and feel like we could work together get in touch. We can work together to help you to understand that your feelings matter, that you are worthy and that you can prioritise yourself by having the opportunity to feel heard and understood.
