Who am I?

I'm a private counsellor who practices in Carlisle, a small city in the north of England.

Rehma
Rehma, in Arabic, signifies compassion, mercy, and grace.
At Rehma Therapies, our primary mission is to cultivate a nurturing and non-judgmental space where clients are embraced with empathy and understanding.
In this supportive environment, individuals not only receive compassion from us but also embark on a journey of self-discovery, learning to extend that same compassion towards themselves.

Integrative Counselling
I offer integrative counselling, with a broadly humanistic stance, catering to my client's individual needs.

My passion is to help others find meaning and purpose in life, deal with their daily stressors, and become a better version of themselves.

It is their journey, and I am there to assist and guide them, offering tools and resources for them to keep under their belt and to use when needed.
