The story behind Hearts & Doodles Therapy

After years of coaching and mentoring women and girls, I noticed something important was missing – mental health support that truly understood the whole person, including their culture, faith, and lived experiences. I felt frustrated and heartbroken by the lack of accessible mental health services tailored to their needs. 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. Using an integrative approach that includes culturally sensitive and Islamic therapeutic techniques, I create a warm, judgment-free space where healing happens naturally.

Curious about the name Hearts & Doodles Therapy?

Let’s break it down, Bismillah...

Hearts:

Our core is our heart, its central to our physical, emotional, ethical, and spiritual life – it is where we connect with others and our Creator.

You may have heard the phrase “heart to heart” used to describe a deep, meaningful conversation between two or more people.

That’s exactly what therapy is: a little space where conversations and healing begins. Connection back to yourself.

Doodles:

Doodling, or art, has always been my form of play. Play is essential for healing, it's how both children and adults communicate when words simply fall short — whether it’s getting lost in a book, lifting at the gym, perfecting a spreadsheet, gardening, acting, singing, dancing the list goes on. We each have unique quirks and ways to play. It is a personal means of expressing emotion.
