I am emailing following my first couples counselling session with Rania Ahmed. This was also the first time I have had counselling altogether. I felt safe, heard and really valued her insight. She gave very relevant examples from the Quran and I felt moved by her analysis of our issues. I will be continuing counselling with Rania and look forward to speaking with her again- I felt as though I could speak to her for hours, her words of advice/reassurance were very comforting to me as a woman. She really validated the experience I have lived through.

Review for Sakoon Islamic Counselling Services (Therapist: Anika Munshi) ⭐☆☆☆☆ My experience with this therapist was extremely disappointing and concerning. Instead of providing neutral, faith-based support, she made judgmental statements about me, my wife, and even my wife’s family. She repeatedly pushed for separation and “harassment” claims rather than helping us work through issues or offering reconciliation strategies. When we tried to discuss serious matters such as ongoing harassment patterns and our safety concerns, she dismissed them and defended external parties instead of listening with empathy or offering solutions. Her approach left us feeling blamed, manipulated, and emotionally worse off after months of sessions. If you’re seeking genuine Islamic counselling, transparency, and accountability, I recommend exercising extreme caution. We left the experience feeling that our trust was violated rather than supported.

Enrolling in Sakoon’s Counselling courses has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made. From the very beginning, the course stood out for its depth and supportive environment. The tutors are not only highly knowledgeable but genuinely invested in each student’s personal and professional growth. Rehan has been supportive throughout the entire process - from my initial application, all the way to complete my final assessment. The curriculum is both challenging and enriching, blending theory with real-world application in a way that builds true confidence and competence. What I appreciated most was the holistic approach—Sakoon doesn’t just train counsellors; they nurture compassionate, self-aware practitioners ready to make a real difference. If you're looking for a place that values integrity, personal development, and high-quality training, I couldn’t recommend Sakoon more highly. The Level 4 Diploma isn’t just a course—it’s a transformational journey.

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Level 2 and 3 courses offered by Sakoon Counselling, and I can confidently say it was an incredibly positive experience. Each session was hosted by a dedicated professional who brought both passion and expertise to the table. The environment they created was supportive and encouraging, allowing me to fully engage with the material and my fellow participants. The courses were well-structured, and the content was relevant, insightful, and practical. I highly recommend Sakoon Counselling to anyone looking to expand their knowledge, enhance their skills, or simply seek personal growth through well-curated courses. I hope to stay connected with Sakoon in any way I can and look forward to future opportunities to learn and grow with.

I would like to extend my thanks to Rehan and the team for doing an excellent job to help improve people's lives. I came to Sakoon looking for help to improve my marriage as we have been at a low point for some time. After two couple sessions, we started to unravel some of the complexities of our marriage and are continuing our sessions with our therapist. Our sessions are being carried out via Skype video.

I reached out to Sakoon Counselling as part of my work’s (Kainos) seminar which was hosting a session on Men’s Mental Health (as part of Movember). From day 1, they have been extremely help and professional. Ayesha Aslam volunteered to attend the session and answer questions about men’s mental health and to go over some tips. My whole company (which is a global company) found Ayesha’s tips extremely helpful. She was able to answer the questions with clear examples, solutions and reasonings as to why men suffer from mental health differently. She dived into looking at men of colour how they may suffer mental health differently. This was hugely beneficial as it explained why men of colour would act differently in certain situations and how we all can help to reduce those anxiety feelings. I would never consider going to counselling sessions, but after listening to how Ayesha spoke I realised that they are not daunting and in fact really helpful. Thanks again Ayesha and Sakoon counselling for being part of Kainos Men’s Mental Health webinar.

I have really enjoyed the compassionate approach that Sakoon Islamic Counselling takes. Both Brother Rehan and Sister Michelle have been thoughtful, considerate and helpful during my time with Sakoon and I have benefitted a lot with sessions. My specific situation was to do with Dyspraxia and related issues to do with confidence, self-belief and self-growth. I particularly like that the Service and Counselling takes into account my belief as a Muslim and that the Service is geared towards a faithful and faith-serving approach. May Allah swt bless your work and may you continue to assist and help many people, ameen.

Ayesha has provided me with much needed support and guidance. She is an excellent therapist and always makes me feel heard and validated. Speaking to her made me feel more grounded and also provided insight into the potential root causes of issues. There were many times where I felt she was the only one I could truly be open and honest with because she would listen with patience and without judgement. Often in our sessions I would feel very emotional and burst into tears when telling her things or when she asked me questions because it felt like a safe space to do so. Within a few months I really felt a noticeable change within myself, and so did she. She provided me with the tools and confidence to communicate better and hold boundaries. While I still deal with similar internal battles, I do feel like I know how to deal with them better than I did before. Ultimately it is a journey and I wouldn’t expected to be free of issues overnight. However, I didn’t expect to see change in a few months, I thought it would take years. I also appreciated that Ayesha suggested herself that I could increase the time between sessions because she felt I was improving. It made me feel that she genuinely cares and isn’t encouraging more sessions to benefit her. She has made me confident that she would be there for me if I contacted her later down the line in need of support.
