Set goals for therapy
I’ll help you set achievable, goals, something to work towards in therapy.
A lot of Muslims hesitate to seek help through counselling because of concerns about whether or not it will clash with their Deen. Perhaps they’ve heard of Sigmund Freud and thought, that’s not for a Muslim! Alhamdulillah, the field of therapy has moved beyond Freudian principles and there are mainstream counselling techniques that are congruent with Islam.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT, has been around since the 1950s. It’s a type of short-term, evidence-based therapy that deals with how our thoughts, feelings and behaviours affect each other.
What does that mean? We can identify and change our ways of thinking. And we can change some of our behaviour. To change how we feel.
On average, I’ll meet clients once a week for around 6 weeks. Together, Insha’Allah, we’ll identify the ways of thinking and behaving that are holding you back from living your best life. And we’ll find the best way to move forward instead Insha’Allah.
