Samira | Counsellor
Counselling Wokingham
Hello my name is Samira. I am a compassionate counsellor dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate challenges, set personal goals, and build self-confidence. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can openly explore their thoughts and emotions, and I am committed to helping each person feel heard, valued, and empowered.
With a flexible approach, I offer both short- and long-term therapy to adult individuals through face-to-face sessions, online, and telephone options, accommodating diverse needs and preferences. My practice is informed by a trauma-sensitive approach, particularly in working with individuals who have faced difficult experiences such as rape, sexual violence, and historical abuse. These types of trauma can often lead to complex and multifaceted mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
In my work, I prioritise building trust, encouraging self-compassion, and empowering clients to rediscover their strengths. I understand that trauma can create deep-seated emotional wounds and impact various areas of life, including relationships, self-esteem, and overall mental well-being. Together, we explore these experiences, working through the pain, building resilience, and fostering hope for a future free from the shadows of past trauma.
My goal is to support each client in reconnecting with themselves, rediscovering their worth, and developing the tools they need to navigate life with greater confidence and peace.
Online therapy
In my practice, online therapy is designed to offer the same level of care, connection, and confidentiality as in-person sessions, with the convenience of being accessible from any location. Sessions are conducted through a secure, video-based platform, allowing clients to speak freely in a comfortable, private setting. I mainly use Team's and Zoom.Qualifications and registrations
