Her approach is rooted in curiosity and compassion, with a focus on helping clients better understand themselves and their emotional world. She is also able to take a more goal-oriented approach when needed, working collaboratively to meet each individual’s needs. Clients have said they feel lighter and more at ease after sessions with her.

Raheela has a particular interest in supporting individuals who have experienced forced displacement or who identify as refugees. She also draws on her own professional background to support clients facing stress and anxiety, especially those in high-pressure work environments.

Before training as a therapist, Raheela was a Finance Director in the TV industry. Her experience working in high-stress environments, combined with her role as a Mental Health Ambassador in film and television, has given her deep insight into the emotional and psychological toll such careers can take.

Raheela chose to become a therapist to do something meaningful and purposeful with her life. She is passionate about supporting others to move through their mental health challenges and build more fulfilling lives.
