Farah Mehmood

Trainee Psychotherapist

Hi, my name is Farah and I am currently working towards a MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. As a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I adhere to their ethical framework and practice standard’s diligently.

During my undergraduate degree, in Children, Learning and Development, I have analysed psychological research to interpret human, cognitive and social behaviour in the context of educational settings.  I have also studied appropriate support methods for students with specific learning challenges. Throughout my time of working in a Primary and a SEMH Secondary School I have supported students with behavioural, social, emotional and special educational needs.

My personal interest in mental health extends to several key areas, with a passion for destigmatizing conversations surrounding anxiety and depression. Having experienced the impact of these conditions in my own life. I am dedicated to fostering awareness and understanding, making a positive difference in the lives of those who are struggling with matters surrounding mental health. 

In my practice I use an integrative approach, to tailor treatment to meet your individual needs.  I select techniques from a range of therapeutic theories. These include Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment Theory.

I currently work with client’s aged 16-25. I aim to work with you in a collaborative approach. I intend to provide a safe, none judgemental and confidential enviroment and I am committed to contributing to the well-being of yourself and the challenges you may be facing.

As an individual from South Asian heritage, I have good understanding of issues that affect cultural differences, and the stigma attached to mental health. 

Outside of therapy, I love all things beauty, fashion, and nature.
