About Me
I am Safiya Faris Mohamed. I have completed two years of Islamic Sharia, and this has been an amazing advantage for me as a Muslim psychologist. I have completed my BSs in Psychology and my MSc in Clinical Child Psychology. I am also a member as a psychologist with BPS.
I started my career as a teacher then moved to a senior teacher while I was counseling as a general counselor at a clinic in Sri Lanka. Currently, I am working as a Mental health recovery worker for a reputed and large Mental health service provider in the UK.
I make sure to maintain cultural sensitivity when it comes to everything and anything I do.
Many individuals prefer therapy that aligns with their religious beliefs. By incorporating Islamic principles into my practice, I am able to provide a framework that resonates with clients seeking guidance in accordance with their faith.
In terms of dealing with young adults, I have been a senior teacher for 5 years and I have seen how these young adults open up to me and come to me for their problems which makes me believe that I am definitely suitable to deal with them and my Msc in clinical child psychology says the same.
