Frequently asked questions

At Nosheen's Counselling, we believe in transparency and creating a safe space for everyone. Our approach is grounded in empathy and respect, ensuring you feel heard and understood from the very first interaction. We are committed to supporting you through your journey to well-being.

What should I expect in my first session?
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We will discuss what brings you to counselling, what you hope to achieve, and answer any questions you might have about the process. It's a gentle introduction to therapy in a safe and confidential space.

How long do counselling sessions last?
Typically, each counselling session lasts for 50 minutes. This allows sufficient time to explore your concerns in depth without feeling rushed.

How does confidentiality work in counselling?
Everything shared in sessions remains confidential unless there is a safeguarding concern. This means that if there is a risk of serious harm to yourself or others, I would be legally and ethically obliged to break confidentiality to ensure safety. We would discuss this in more detail during our initial session.

What is faith-sensitive counselling?
Faith-sensitive counselling offers a space where you can integrate your spiritual or Islamic perspectives into therapy. If you wish to explore your challenges through the lens of your faith, this approach allows for a holistic understanding and a culturally informed path to healing.

How can I be sure I won't be judged?
I am naturally empathetic and non-judgemental. My primary goal is to create a safe and accepting environment where you can freely express yourself without fear of criticism. I believe in meeting you where you are, with understanding and compassion, to support you on your journey.

What types of issues do you support clients with?
I support clients with a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotional wellbeing, relationship difficulties, and various life challenges. My person-centred approach is adaptable to your unique needs.

Do you offer online or in-person sessions?
I offer both online and in-person counselling sessions to accommodate your preferences and schedule. Based in Bradford, United Kingdom, I can provide a comfortable setting for face-to-face meetings or accessible online support.

How do I book an appointment?
