A Private Space to Heal, Grow, and Reconnect.
Sometimes, the weight of the world makes it hard to hear your own heart. Our individual counseling sessions provide a sacred, confidential space designed specifically for the unique experiences of the Nigerian and African Muslimah.
In these one-on-one sessions, we move beyond the surface. We integrate psychological expertise with an understanding of your Deen, ensuring you never have to leave your faith at the door. Whether you are untangling years of trauma or seeking clarity in a moment of overwhelm, we walk with you toward a life of Sakinah (tranquility) and strength.
You also automatically gain free access to the tadabbur membership which takes place twice in a month during your period of support.
Adolescent Counselling/ Therapy
Have you noticed certain changes in your teenager’s mood and or behavior?Is there is a sudden decline in her academic performance?
At adolescence, your teenager is in a phase where her mental and emotional well-being could be affecting social and academic performance. Through adolescent counselling and therapy, In Shaa Allah, your teen will have the opportunity to receive support and begin developing healthy coping tools.
Tadabbur Membership Subscription
Our Tadabbur workshops are interactive, heart-centered sessions designed to help you reconnect with the Quran on a personal level. These workshops are not just about academic study; they are about finding “Shifa” (healing) and guidance for your specific life circumstances.
What it entails: Guided group reflections on specific Surahs or Ayat. We use reflective journaling, linguistic insights, and open discussion to explore how Allah’s words speak to our current trials, joys, and mental well-being.

Which Path is Right? Counselling, Therapy or Coaching?
Choosing the right support is a brave first step. While all three services offer a safe, confidential space to grow, they differ in their focus and goals.
Therapy is often deep, introspective work. It focuses on identifying and healing the root causes of emotional pain, trauma, or long-standing mental health challenges.
Best for: Processing childhood wounds, managing clinical anxiety or depression, healing from trauma (PTSD), or breaking deep-seated generational patterns.
The Focus: Understanding “Why do I feel this way?” and finding long-term healing.
The Outcome: Emotional regulation, psychological resilience, and a healthier internal world.
Counselling is usually more “here and now.” It provides a supportive space to navigate specific life transitions, relationship issues, or periods of intense stress.
Best for: Marital difficulties, grief and loss, workplace stress, or coping with a sudden life change.
The Focus: Managing “How do I get through this?” and developing healthy coping mechanisms.
The Outcome: Practical tools for problem-solving, improved communication, and emotional clarity during tough times.
Coaching is action-oriented and forward-facing. It assumes a baseline of emotional stability and focuses on unlocking your potential, achieving specific goals, and aligning your life with your values.
Best for: Career transitions, building self-confidence, improving spiritual discipline (Ihsan), or finding “work-life-Deen” balance.
The Focus: Asking “Where do I go from here?” and “How do I achieve my best self?”
The Outcome: Accountability, a clear roadmap for your goals, and a shift from surviving to thriving.

Feedback from Sisters We've Supported
Once upon a time, I couldn’t even recognize myself.
My self-esteem? Down the hill.
Courage and confidence? Zero.
I started slipping into a victim mentality—something I’ve always hated.
It was hard. Journaling helped… but it wasn’t enough.
There was so much to unpack.
Because truly, the outer world reflects the inner self.
The fruit is what it is… because of the seed.
Then came therapy, and it turned out to be the most amazing part of my year.
Oooh, I cried.
I cried severally.
Because the body truly keeps the score.
But slowly… we began to laugh through it.
To breathe through it.
To grow through it.
Some of my assignments during therapy led me back to the lives of the Prophets and the Sahabas, and I was reminded of strength, struggle, and surrender.
I remember telling my friend I was in therapy, and she laughed so hard.
But one day, she came around and said:
“It’s good to have you back in your full element.”
She’s even waiting for more of me to unfold.
(Same person wey laugh me oh 😅)
My therapy sessions may be over now…
But every Sunday, I still long for that space.
Things I fought myself to forget became easy to let go.
Relationships I thought I was over with, I now embrace again—
but from a place of awareness and boundaries.
Because the clarity that comes from healing remains unmatched.
She spoke to me about low, moderate, and high-maintenance relationships.
How the best shade of blue can never be the cup of tea of someone whose favorite color is green.
Our sessions were more like Seerah classes and Tadabbur sessions.
She spoke about my unique intelligence…
Awwwnnn ❤️
Then again, she reminded me that life is a journey, and if I ever find myself overwhelmed again, I shouldn’t forget to nurture my soul.
Therapy might be expensive, but healing isn’t.
The Qur’an is free to air.
Low-key missing therapy.
It was hard to say goodbye as she showered me with so much du‘ā’.
When I decided to book a session, I was scared and skeptical initially.
I mean, I had tried talking to people before then, but nobody really understood me.
Deep down, I felt this was probably going to be the same experience again,
but I still decided to try one more time.
And by the will of Allah, the counselor was an answered prayer.
She was more than a counselor.
She was a sister, a confidant, and one of the few people who didn’t think I was crazy.
From the very first day, she made me feel safe with her.
She didn’t judge me.
Instead, she carved out a pathway for me.
And she didn’t just carve it—she walked with me.
She was a great listener and knew how to gently get me to speak out and express myself,
even when I didn’t want to.
She supported me emotionally and also provided necessary materials along the way.
By the end of our sessions, I gained clarity,
felt a strange but calming sense of peace within me,
and knew how to navigate the challenge I was facing.
I am deeply grateful to Allah for allowing me to have an encounter with her.
I truly appreciate her support and expertise.
It was exactly what I needed.
I pray that Allah never leaves her to her own affairs as well.
