Meet Nailah ...

 
I have always been a talker. A teacher once wrote that I was “clever, but needs to talk less.” But I wasn’t just talking, I was creating, connecting, translating something inside me into something others could feel. As a child, I read aloud to myself, Nancy Drew a favourite, imagining myself, solving mysteries with her.  I danced in my bedroom, and staged entire performances for an imaginary audience.   I was often alone, but rarely lonely. I built stories as a way of making sense of things. That instinct, to narrate, to daydream,  to feel deeply, to understand, still shapes everything I do as a therapist.

 

I didn’t plan to become one. Therapy found me. And once I began holding space for others, something clicked. I trained, I studied, I stayed. Not because I had all the answers, but because I felt deeply at home in the questions. Each client taught me something about presence, about resilience, about the ways we become ourselves.

​

I am a BACP-accredited psychotherapist with a background in psychoanalytic and psychosocial studies. I support individuals, couples, and groups in exploring the complexity of their inner world, their relationships, and the stories they’ve inherited. I work relationally, drawing from frameworks like Intersubjectivity (Thirdness), Attachment Theory, and Transactional Analysis. But more than theory, my work is shaped by a commitment to listening, really listening, to what goes unsaid.  â€‹Much of my work focuses on relationships, both with others - whether it is a family member, a work colleague, or an intimate partner and with the self.

 

As a relationship therapist, I help people navigate conflict, intimacy, rupture, and repair. I’m interested in the language beneath the argument. In the pauses. In the unspoken loyalty to old narratives. I support people in unravelling inherited scripts—about love, safety, worth—and help them write something more spacious in their place.  What I’ve come to understand is that therapy is not simply about healing. It’s about reclaiming agency. About discovering the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to silence. The process is not always elegant, but it is transformative.

​

I also write—about therapy, emotion, memory, and identity. My work explores the language of healing: how people make sense of their lives, reshape inherited beliefs, and find clarity in complexity. Whether in essays, workshops, or quiet conversations, I aim to make difficult ideas feel human and usable. For me, writing and therapy are twin practices. Both are about listening closely, creating space, and helping others speak more truly in their own voice.

 

I believe therapy is both an art and an act of resistance. It challenges us to pause. To feel. To ask: “What else is possible?” I want my work to be a place where people feel brave enough to explore that question. A space where clarity is possible, where growth is honest, and where transformation feels deeply lived.

​

This is the work I do. And this is the space I hold.

There is something life-affirming about watching people turn toward their pain and begin to speak....
