My approach
If you are feeling anxious or low, or simply want to get more out of your relationships and your life, then you’ve come to the right place.
We’re all unique, yet we share some challenges in life. Stress, trauma, loss and fear are just a few that can knock us off course. I see therapy as a way not only of getting you back on track, fast, but helping you to fulfil your potential. When the difficulties of life leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope, I can help you to find the first steps to recovery.
No one therapy can work for all, so my approach is to build on what works for you, drawing on therapeutic disciplines that best fit your presentation and personality.
I have worked as a therapist since 2002 in a variety of settings including NHS trusts, GP practices, Higher Education and mental health charities. I am accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the EMDR Association UK. As such I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework. I am an Accredited Cognitive Analytical Therapist and clinical supervisor.
What clients say about working with me…
“I was diagnosed by my GP as suffering from PTSD following COVID. A friend recommended EMDR therapy and so I contacted Omar who I found very easy to talk to - kind, gentle and non-judgemental. He worked with me in weekly sessions to understand the roots of my trauma and gave me tools and the confidence to make changes.
The EMDR therapy worked incredibly well and I was surprised and delighted with how quickly it worked. It was a very positive experience and I would absolutely recommend Omar and EMDR to anyone suffering trauma or anxiety.”

“Omar has taught me how to cope with daily anxiety and stress; something I couldn’t achieve with any other therapist. He is a real professional and knows how to help. I would always recommend him to my family and friends.”

“I found my sessions with Omar provided me with the psychological, emotional, relational and spiritual depth I was looking for. This meant that in a very (surprisingly!) short amount of time (only four sessions!!) I was able to release some old patterns from my brain/nervous system so that I could make some fresh here-now choices from a centred ‘adult’ place.
