Fatima Adam

Are you considering therapy but feeling intimidated about choosing the right therapist? Let me introduce myself. I'm a qualified Psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I've worked therapeutically with adults and young people in various settings, including the NHS and universities, for a number of years.

I am trained in a range of modalities, but I believe a strong therapist-client relationship is the foundation for a positive therapeutic experience.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or "Tapping"

In addition to traditional therapy approaches, I am an EFT Practitioner. EFT (sometimes known as 'Tapping') involves gently tapping on specific meridian points while focusing on intense thoughts, emotions, or memories. Tapping helps bring these into consciousness, enabling you to process and replace negative patterns with positive reinforcement. Combining EFT with traditional talking therapies can be more effective in overcoming emotional and physical barriers to wellbeing. 

EFT is particularly beneficial for stress, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, chronic pain, weight management, phobias, and addictions. Visit EFT International for more information and research on its efficacy.

I provide a confidential and safe space for you to explore the issues causing you difficulty, so you can begin creating change. I genuinely want to understand you and create an environment where you can be yourself without fear of criticism or judgment. I'm committed to understanding your perspective and the challenges you face. I'll support you in working through these, developing self-understanding, and exploring different ways of thinking and being to create lasting change in your life.

I offer both short and long-term therapy, depending on your individual needs. We'll discuss and regularly review your requirements to ensure we're working toward your goals.

I offer a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation. During this call, we can discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and schedule an initial assessment session. This assessment lasts approximately 50 minutes. A discounted rate applies for the initial assessment.

The assessment process itself is informal. It allows me to begin getting to know you and to gain a better understanding of what is bringing you to therapy. Most importantly, it is an opportunity for us both to assess whether we feel we could work well together. We would then go ahead and book our first session.
