Islamic counselling
I integrate Islamic values and principles in therapy rather than offering Islamic counselling.
Islamic teachings and guidance empower Muslims in all aspects of their lives. There is no challenge or difficulty where we can not benefit from Islamic teachings, values and our connection with Allah s.w.t.
We can get inspiration and guidance during every challenge and on every aspect of our life from the Holy Quran, ahadith, our rich collection of supplications and the lives of our role models.
Many Muslims feel that their faith is important to them and therefore at Zamzam Muslim Counselling and CBT, I aim to integrate Islamic values and goals in therapy.
To sum it up, I do not offer Islamic counselling in the literal sense of the word. My emphasis is on integration of Islamic values to make therapy more effective and meaningful for Muslims. Women I work with often express that they find this approach very relevant and useful when working through their challenges.
Please note, when clients have specific Islamic queries, I either discuss this with an Islamic scholar, support the client to speak to a scholar they trust or sign post them to a scholar from their particular school of thought.
