Hisham Hijazi

Daytime and Evening sessions are available.

My name is Hisham. I am an independent Psychodynamic Counsellor.

I offer sessions with adult individuals dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, low confidence, low self-esteem, anger management, shame, guilt, uncertainty, and relationship challenges.

I firmly believe in the liberating power of conversation, although I acknowledge that it can be challenging. During our initial sessions, I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment to ease anxieties. I approach each patient with genuine curiosity, with sensitivity, respect, confidentiality. I endeavour to provide a calm sanctuary amidst emotional storms and guide with helpful self reflection.

Adhering to the Ethical Framework of Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, I engage in weekly clinical supervision, regular professional training and all other professional requirements.

In my therapy practice, I offer Psychodynamic Counselling with a focus on building strong, trusting relationships. Building on my experience, my approach is centred around taking the time to truly understand an individual's unique world and challenges. My interest in Psychotherapy and Counselling stems from my exposure to acute and chronic mental health issues during my time in the public sector.

Moreover, as a Doctoral Candidate on a Psychoanalytical/Psychodynamic Psychotherapy clinical programme, I embrace diverse perspectives and philosophies. My goal is to establish trust with my patients, allowing them to share their struggles including unconscious ones. I hold a space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, actions, desires and relationships at your own pace. I work with my patients to achieve the best outcomes possible for them.

The first session with me will be a fifty minute consultation. It will give you the chance to meet me, give us both an opportunity to explore ways of working together and ask any questions you may have.
