With extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and sexual orientations, Basel brings a compassionate and inclusive perspective to their counselling practice.

"My philosophy as a therapist is grounded in the belief that every individual holds an innate capacity for strength and resilience, even in the face of life’s greatest challenges. I see counselling as a collaborative partnership where we work together to uncover your strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop practical strategies that foster positive and meaningful change. Creating a non-judgmental and supportive environment is central to my practice, encouraging open dialogue and self-discovery. I am deeply committed to working with individuals of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and sexual orientations, ensuring that our work together honours and respects your unique identity and lived experience. I tailor my approach to suit your unique needs, drawing from a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, psychodynamic therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. This integrative approach allows us to create a personalized journey aligned with your goals, helping you build insights, strengthen coping skills, and achieve lasting transformation. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, compassionate, and empathetic space where your voice is heard and respected. I will listen actively, ask insightful questions, and provide thoughtful guidance without judgment. Together, we will delve into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours to identify patterns that may be holding you back. Our work will empower you to set purposeful goals and move forward with clarity and confidence. Your privacy and confidentiality are paramount in our counselling relationship. I adhere to strict ethical standards and legal guidelines to ensure that your personal information is always secure. It is my privilege to walk alongside you on this journey, supporting you every step of the way as you uncover your potential for growth, healing, and authentic self-expression."
