About

Islamic Counselling

Islamic counselling was set up to increase public understanding and the benefits of counselling and psychotherapy and how Islamic counselling can help in marriage conflicts, bereavement, depression, abuse, OCD and Mental Health.

We aim to raise awareness of culturally sensitive services to Muslims in the UK and what can be expected from Islamic counselling.

We hope to break down the barriers, stereotypes and taboos which prevent Muslims from accessing support through their community or through mainstream services.

What is Counselling

There can be times when we experience difficulties in our lives that are hard to sort out on our own. It may then be helpful to see a trained and experienced counsellor in a private and confidential setting where it is possible to talk freely. The counsellor will provide an opportunity to explore feelings, make sense of what is happening, gain greater self-awareness, look at the options available and decide on the best course of action.

Islamic Counselling

Allah says the Quran is a guide and a healing to those who believe (S.41: V.44). Religion plays a significant role in satisfying our physical as well as spiritual needs: Islam teaches us a code of behaviour and gives us a meaning for our existence. It helps in toleration and developing adaptive capacities for stressful events of life. It gives us a sense of self-respect and teaches us about the virtues for family life and a cohesive society.
