Welcome to Point in Time Counselling
Therapy for when you know something needs to change
Welcome
Hello and a warm welcome. I’m Fareen, a BACP registered therapist working with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences.
Sometimes we reach a point in life where we know something isn’t quite right, but we’re not sure what needs to change or how to begin. We might feel stuck in familiar patterns, disconnected from ourselves, or unsure of what we really want.
Therapy can offer a space to pause, make sense of what’s happening and begin to find your way forward - at your pace.
You might be coming to therapy if:
You feel stuck in patterns that you understand intellectually but can’t seem to change
You’ve lost touch with yourself and aren’t sure what you really want anymore
You feel unheard, misunderstood, or unable to express what you need in your relationships
You’re constantly questioning whether you’re good enough, doing enough, or making the “right” choices
You’re navigating family, cultural or identity expectations that don’t always fit with who you feel yourself to be
You’re carrying a difficult or painful experience that still affects you
You’re going through a change. loss or period of uncertainty and are trying to make sense of what has happened, find a way through it, and understand what comes next
You know something needs to change, but aren’t sure what that change looks like
Whatever brings you here, we can take the time to understand it at your pace.
What does therapy with me look like?
Therapy with me is real. It is nurturing, kind and collaborative, but also honest, challenging and courageous. There is no ‘quick fix’ or ‘answer sheet’, but a commitment from me to guide and support you through the process - you do not have to do this alone.
I offer an unhurried space where you can feel heard, understood and able to explore what is happening for you. Together, we can begin to make sense of your experiences, the patterns you may find yourself caught in, and what you might need or want for yourself.
We can work at your pace, with space for whatever feels important to you. Sometimes therapy is about understanding the past; sometimes it is about making sense of what is happening now; and sometimes it is about finding courage to make a change and move towards something different.
Over time, my hope is that you can move from self-criticism towards greater curiosity and compassion, and feel more grounded and confident in who you are.
How I work
I take an integrative approach, which means that I draw on therapeutic approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you. Rather than fitting you into a particular model, we can shape our work around your experiences, needs and what you want from therapy.
I see the relationship between us as central to our work. Feeling comfortable, heard and understood can make it possible to explore things that may be difficult to put into words. We can work together to understand what is happening for you, what is supporting you and what may be missing, and what you might need to move forward.
