About Me
Nadir is a Muslim family & systemic psychotherapist in private practice and an Islamic psychotherapist in training. He is co facilitator of the DWP religion and spirituality group and also co-founder of the Communities of Practice initiative at the Institute of Family therapy where he conducted his MSc research on the systemic training of Muslim community leaders in London published in the JFT and Context. He is currently a doctoral student at the University of Bedfordshire where he is contrasting the Islamic intellectual and mystical tradition with systemic theory and practice.
Systemic & Family therapy is useful for individuals, couples, youth, children and families from all walks of life who are facing a variety of difficulties and experiences, such as:
Families facing challenges such as mental illness, physical illness, bereavement, ageing, family conflicts, cultural adjustments, trauma, etc.
Families worried about their childrens behaviour.
Families and couples who want to build closer and happier relationships.
Parents who wish to divorce or separate in a way that focuses on their childrens happiness and needs.
Any family who would like someone to help them talk openly and about difficult things in a safe and useful way.
In addition to addressing a range of problems and health conditions, family therapy is sensitive to diverse family forms, respecting the importance of each persons beliefs, culture, and life experiences.
It is also considerate of each individuals needs and problems within a family unit and considers all other vital relationships in peoples lives, making it a useful approach for people of all ages and backgrounds.
I have experience in dealing with Gender Dysphoria.
Focus Area
I provide couples experiencing difficulties in their relationships with a safe and confidential space to explore their issues. Whether it’s helping new couples navigate their relationship dynamic or supporting established couples looking for ways to salvage their relationship
- Individual Work I work on a one-to-one basis with you in a safe and confidential space to explore your goals and any changes you want to make and sustain
- Couple Work (Deeper Intimacy & Connection)
This area is one that is very personal to me, having gone through a divorce myself. I can appreciate the pain caused by separations, particularly when children are involved, and the challenges that can occur when dealing with this alone. If you are dealing with a divorce and need help or guidance, I will happily support you through the process of recovery and healing.
- I support couples looking for assistance in ending their relationship amicably.
- Surviving Divorce
- Family Systemic Psychotherapy Once you have contacted me, we will arrange an appointment for an initial assessment followed by a discussion and contract/agreement that will determine the number of tailor-made sessions you will require, including reviews built-in for any long-term therapy. This is dependent on each individual’s or organisation’s circumstances and needs.
