About Me

Rifat J Qureshi 

MA, Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy
Integrative Counsellor and registered member of the BACP

As a counsellor I am committed to providing professional support from the moment you reach out to me. I want to assist you in dealing with the challenges in your life, particularly the dislike of looking inwards, in order to better equip yourself to face what may be difficult.

The most neglected relationship we have is with ourselves – we have unlimited access to it and have to live with it each and every day. We develop many ways to avoid our feelings or silence the thoughts and beliefs within us. Keeping all this up is exhausting work.

Demanding and overwhelming life events add to this burden and can leave us feeling extremely lost. You may find that you respond by repeating the same patterns, leaving you feeling stuck and frustrated. You may not be coping with all the things that need to get done. Your sleep, general wellbeing and quality of life can be severely impacted.

I work by creating a dedicated safe space for you to delve into your issues and further your self-awareness. My approach respects your autonomy and expertise on yourself and I believe in working collaboratively with you on a journey to improved mental health. I also work faith sensitively and welcome everyone who craves to have the world seen from their perspective. Whatever difficulty you are going through, I can offer a professional and confidential service that you can trust.

My aim is to support you on your journey to better mental health and wellbeing.
