Hello, I am Ayesha Powell, a qualified Islamic Counsellor with nearly 10 years of experience in the field. I am fully insured, advanced DBS checked, and a registered BACP member.Let me invite you into a collaborative, intentional, way of supporting yourself.

My work is embodied, in that it acknowledges the physical body and its environment, and the impacts these can have on your wellbeing and feelings of safety, while fully acknowledging that we all live in hostile and unsafe spaces and times. I draw on breathwork and the use of the Divine Names to help ground the therapeutic process. I honour the restorative offerings nature provides and share elements of this abundant gift with you during our time together, if you wish.
 
I work in a neurodivergent affirmative way. 

My approach is decolonial, and culturally and politically aware, in that it witnesses you within your religious, generational, and cultural context, so you do not feel you have to bring only a part of yourself to therapy. 

And, last but not least, the space I offer you is one of love, acceptance and respect. My intention is that it provides a confidential time and place to explore and unpack patterns that have led to challenges within your life. 

I walk beside you through this process to the best of my ability.
