Sallam! I’m Hassan, a registered therapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I currently work as a counsellor with Relationships Scotland, the largest provider of counselling and family mediation in the country, and I’m also proud to be a co-founder of Healers Muslim Counselling. Healers is a service close to my heart, where we blend faith-sensitive and culturally aware support with professional counselling to help our Muslim communities feel understood and empowered.
Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from all over the world, each bringing their own unique stories and challenges. It’s incredibly touching to know that I can make a difference in people’s lives, helping them find clarity, healing, and hope.
Part of what keeps me grounded and effective in my work is my commitment to continuous professional development. I regularly attend CPD training to stay up-to-date with the latest approaches in counselling and mental health. I also participate in peer supervision and have a dedicated supervisor to ensure that I’m always growing, reflecting, and providing the best possible care for my clients. I truly believe that taking care of myself is essential to being fully present for the people I support.
My journey into counselling began with my studies in Islamic Theology at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, followed by advanced degrees in Theology and Philosophy. Alongside this, I completed the COSCA qualification and earned a Diploma in Counselling from Napier University. This blend of Islamic principles and modern therapeutic approaches allows me to offer a unique, holistic perspective in my work.
Whether you’re dealing with personal struggles, relationship challenges, or just need a safe space to talk, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll take steps toward a brighter, more fulfilling future. Let’s start this journey together!
