Dr Amirah Iqbal

Hi, I'm Amirah, a warm and friendly, HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with adults, young people, and couples, offering therapy and medico-legal assessments. Life can be challenging, and despite our best efforts, we might struggle to overcome past experiences or feel uncertain about how to move forward. With my extensive experience, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore and process these difficulties.

I assist with a wide range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges (both attachment and interpersonal), perfectionism, identity concerns, and feeling stuck. I also offer assessment work, notably supporting with trauma, immigration and parenting and family assessments. I draw on a broad range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including (Trauma-focused) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Narrative (Exposure) Therapy, Systemic Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Transpersonal Therapy, and Somatic-Based Approaches.

I recognise that our wider social context can significantly impact our emotional well-being, and I am committed to providing a non-judgmental, flexible and inclusive space where you can bring all parts of yourself into therapy. My background as a mixed-race Muslim female has shaped my practice as an anti-oppressive and intersectional psychologist.

Amirah also provides specialist assessments. See our assessments page for what is involved.
