"I had counselling sessions with Zaynab and it really helped me understand what I was going through and most importantly improved my mental health. She was very understanding and patient as well as implemented Islamic perspective into our sessions. So grateful for the impact it's had on my mental health. Thank you."

"I was in a terrible state emotinally and felt like I just couldn't go on. I felt stuck and unable to shake off the self blaming voices in my head.

Alhamdulillah I contacted sister zaynab for a single session therapy. By the permission of Allah, She listened, she understood, she empathised, she helped me combat those voices within, she gently guided me and helped me organize my thoughts.

She equipped me with the tools I needed to face another day. I felt like I could do this. The burden in my head which was debilitating didn't feel like a mountain anymore. I felt like it wasn't the end of the world. I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel."

I reached out to Zaynab after attending her free mental heath session, Sisters' Space, on Trauma & Abuse. I found Zaynab's Islamic counselling beneficial, as it's deeper and deals with not only our mental health but our spiritual health. I have been struggling with life threatening illness for many years as well as dealing with abuse and trauma from my past, and found Zaynabs compassionate approach gave me a space to look at my difficulties in a spiritual light aswel as in a human way too. Counselling with Zaynab helped me to understand my relationship with God and, by extension, relationship with myself and others. Because you can easily lose sight of your purpose of life when you have so many trials and illnesses to deal with daily.

"I found my sessions beneficial and effective in addressing my OCD and anxiety. I always felt comfortable to talk openly and honestly about things and always given helpful and achievable targets. Through my therapy sessions I have learnt techniques to help me through tough times and my OCD has become more manageable."

I reached out to Zaynab to help me understand my childhood trauma. Although I've had trauma informed counselling before, I found Zaynab's faith-based trauma informed counselling hit differently. I never felt accepted or worthy, felt rejected, and abandoned. This affected not only my adult relationships but also my relationship with God. I felt I was never good enough for Allah and had to be a perfect Muslim until I started counselling with Zaynab. Her compassion, kindness, and a non judgmental approach, as well as her knowledge of how trauma affects us mentally and physically, helped me to understand and process my struggles. She gave me the space to open up and talk about things that I was never able to speak about before. I really feel counselling with Zaynab has changed my life. Zaynab helped me to look inwards and find acceptance within, and that's when the true healing began. May Allah reward Zaynab for the work she does ameen.
