The story behind Hearts & Doodles Therapy
For years, I supported young adults through coaching, but when deeper wounds surfaced: things like grief, abuse, heartbreak, addictions, cultural pressures, I realized I didn’t have the tools to hold those stories safely. I noticed something important was missing – mental health support that truly understood the whole person, including their culture, faith, and lived experiences.
So, I paused (sometimes in not so healthy ways) I did the deeper work, I trained in Psychotherapy and Islamic approaches to therapy hoping to offer something that truly meets people where they are. This realisation, coupled with my own journey of self-discovery, led me to create this practice.
I don't believe therapy should feel like another thing on your to-do list. It should feel like coming home to yourself. A space that’s warm, human, and welcomes all of you.
I hold a MA degree in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy as well as a Cert in Integrative Psychotherapy
I am also trained in Islamic approaches to psychology with IAIP.

Curious about the name Hearts & Doodles Therapy?
Let’s break it down, Bismillah...
Hearts:
Our core is our heart — not just the thing that keeps us alive, but the centre of our physical, emotional, ethical, and spiritual life.
It’s where we connect with others, and with the Divine.
You know those heart-to-heart conversations that go deep and leave you feeling truly seen?
That’s what therapy is to me: a gentle space for honesty, softness, and finding your way back to yourself.
Plus I’ve always just had a thing for doodling hearts.
Doodles:
Doodling, or any form of play has always been my go-to. Because healing doesn’t just happen through words and talk therapy.
Play is a language of its own. For some it’s drawing, journaling, or dancing. For others, it’s lifting at the gym, colour-coding spreadsheets, or making the perfect cup of chai. We all have our quirks and I believe they hold clues to how we feel, process, and heal.
Life is rough as it is, adding a lil’ play just makes it all feel a bit more worthwhile
