Siddique Counselling and Psychotherapy - The stepping stone to finding your strength.

BA (Hons) PG Dip, MSc

MBACP, UPCA, UKCP

I warmly welcome you to my profile. I appreciate taking the step to access psychotherapy and counselling is a big one and can bring up a lot of feelings in itself. I want you to know that I see you and I am here to support in the best way I can to contribute to your wellbeing and be a part of your mental health journey. I invite you to connect with me so we can work through these feelings together. I would like to provide you with the support of making sense of these emotions within a therapeutic safe space.

 I am a licensed Psychotherapist n the UK. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with depression.

Therapy can feel like a scary place especially when it is a new experience, but I assure you that we would work through your difficulties at a pace chosen by you.  Remember, YOU are the expert of your lived experience and we can work through it together with you leading me on your journey.

I also support people with cultural and religious difficulties, especially those coming from a South Asian Muslim background, like myself. This is an area that people seem to have the least support in, especially when adapting in today's modern society.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

At this current time, I am offering weekly remote sessions. I am able to offer video, telephone and chat sessions (Email/Text). I will in the near future resume face to face work. I am based in Birmingham, so will be offering face to face work within this area.

My practice is constructed of an integrative model. I have an assimilative way of working, with person centred at the core, whilst combining existential and attachment when required. My main focus is to support you and so I mostly work through person centred and compassion focussed therapy.

My client is always at the centre of my focus so you can lead me on your journey to allow me to understand your needs and experiences within therapy. I offer a safe therapeutic space to support you in being able to do this.

Within the first session, my aim is to understand your difficulties and what has brought you to therapy. I would need to conduct an assessment to further understand your needs and expectations from me. Within this assessment we would think about therapeutic goals, time frames, support network outside of therapy and if you are on any medication alongside accessing therapy. This would provide me with a scope of what is happening for you and whether we would be the best fit for working together in a therapeutic alliance.
