Begum | Integrative Counsellor and Coach

Online therapy

In our sessions, I prioritise creating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. I only conduct sessions online, allowing for a personal connection even from a distance.

Each session typically begins with a brief check-in, allowing you to share any updates or feelings you wish to discuss. From there, we’ll explore the topics that matter most to you. I use various therapeutic techniques tailored to your individual needs, ensuring you feel heard and understood.

I encourage you to actively engage in the process, bringing in any resources or exercises we’ve discussed. Your comfort and privacy are paramount, and we’ll work together to establish boundaries that make you feel secure.

As your counselor, my role is to support you in exploring your thoughts and feelings, helping you gain clarity and insight into your experiences. Together, we’ll identify your goals and discover the best path forward, empowering you to make choices that resonate with your values.

I look forward to partnering with you on this journey toward personal growth and healing.
