My Approach

Combination of Somatic and Cognitive Therapy

As an integrative therapist, I work with each person as a unique individual, using a tailored combination of therapeutic approaches. 

I avoid labels and rigid models, instead drawing from a variety of modalities, including:

• Trauma-informed therapy
• Psychosomatic therapy
• Psychodynamic therapy
• Internal Family Systems (IFS, Dr. Richard Schwartz)
• Compassionate Inquiry (CI, Dr. Gabor Maté)
• CBT- and PCT-informed therapy

While cognitive therapy focuses on thoughts and emotions, a psychosomatic approach also works with the body’s responses to stress, recognising the deep connection between mental and physical well-being.

Rather than focusing on advice or immediate solutions, my role is to facilitate a thoughtful therapeutic process that supports self-understanding, emotional resilience, and sustainable personal growth.

Client Reviews

“From our first session, my therapy with Fatima has been life-changing. She was able to introduce me to hidden parts of myself. I understand why I do what I do and am much more in touch with body. I’m forever grateful for Fatima’s acute observations, her knowledge and her professional support.”

- A.H. (former client)

Who I Work With

I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional, psychological, and relational challenges, including:

  • Anxiety and chronic stress
  • Depression and low mood
  • Loneliness and emotional disconnection
  • Relationship and interpersonal difficulties
  • Obsessive-compulsive difficulties (OCD)
  • Low self-esteem and challenges with self-worth
  • Attention difficulties, including ADD/ADHD
  • Sexual and intimacy-related concerns
  • Anger and emotional regulation difficulties

Can Therapy Help You?

Therapy offers a supportive space for reflection, exploration, and personal growth. It can:

  • Explore the underlying factors influencing thoughts, behaviours, and emotions
  • Work with patterns that may no longer be serving you
  • Strengthen awareness of emotions and inner experiences
  • Support confidence, healthier relationships, and a more fulfilling life

Therapy isn’t a quick fix, and it won’t remove all of life’s challenges. Instead, it provides tools and perspectives to navigate difficulties more effectively, build resilience, and create a life aligned with your values.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect in the first session?

Every discovery session is personalised to the individual. We’ll discuss your experiences, history, and perspectives, and outline your goals for the process. The session is also an opportunity to learn about the approach I use and see how it aligns with what you’re looking for.

What languages do you offer therapy in?

I offer sessions in English, Urdu, Hindi and Farsi (Persian).

How long are your sessions?

I offer individual therapy sessions in both 60-minute and 90-minute durations. Couples therapy sessions are 90 minutes long.

How many sessions do I need to take?

There’s no set number of sessions, it varies from person to person. Therapy is a process of exploration and growth, and each individual’s journey unfolds in its own way. Sessions can be tailored to your goals and interests, whether you’re looking for short-term support or ongoing personal development. A discovery session can help you decide the approach and timeframe that feel right for you.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

I only offer online sessions.

Is confidentiality guaranteed?

Confidentiality is essential to our work together, and everything shared in sessions remains private, except in exceptional circumstances, such as when there is a serious intent to harm yourself or others (e.g., plans for suicide or violence). In some cases, I may seek supervision or consultation with other professionals, but your identity and personal details will never be shared.
