Sabah | CBT Counsellor/Therapist
CBT Therapy Wishaw
I offer fertility support, perinatal counselling, and counselling for anxiety after pregnancy, in Wishaw & Motherwell and throughout the UK.
If you’re navigating fertility challenges, baby loss, pregnancy or new motherhood while wondering how you’re still standing, I'm here with the box of tissues and a comfy couch.
Do you carry so much in your body: the tight chest, the shallow breaths, the constant heaviness, that you feel you’re just holding it together on the outside? Masks sometimes slip; are you ready to look at what lies behind yours?
Together we’ll calm the mental noise, introduce tools to bring relief from spiraling thoughts, and give space for those dark thoughts you don't speak out loud.
I support women navigating:
• Fertility & treatment stress
• Pregnancy anxiety, loss or birth trauma
• Postpartum depression, adjusting to motherhood
• Burn-out, overthinking, persistent low mood
• Relationship strain, identity shifts
• Grief, trauma, emotional overwhelm
I support women who feel the weight of cultural or family expectations to conceive. If you're carrying pressure around fertility, whether spoken or unspoken, together we can work to help you find calm, clarity, and emotional grounding, so you're no longer defined or shaken by other people’s opinions.
What to expect
Sessions at your pace: practical coping techniques some days, simply making space for what’s hard on others. We move beyond just talking - you’ll leave each session with real-life changes you can act on.
Get in touch for my availability online (UK-wide) and in person in Wishaw & Motherwell.

Most common issues I support people with:
I have experience of working with clients with a wide range of issues.General anxiety
What’s driving your anxiety-constant worry, racing thoughts, panic in your body, second-guessing everything, or avoiding what matters? I can work with you to slow the cycle, challenge fear-based patterns, and build tools that help you feel more in control so your mind stops running the show and you can actually live.
Relationship issues
What’s getting in the way of you feeling close and understood-arguments that spiral, shutting down, jealousy, assumptions, or trust slipping? I can help you spot patterns that keep you stuck, shift how you respond, and rebuild steadiness and connection so the relationship becomes a place where you both feel chosen and respected.
Low mood and depression
What’s weighing you down-low energy, losing interest in things you used to care about, feeling disconnected, or stuck in harsh self-talk? I can help you notice the patterns pulling you under, shift the beliefs that keep you frozen, and build momentum toward small wins so life feels worth showing up for again.
Post partum depression and / or anxiety
Are fear and worry stealing moments you wanted to savor? Maybe getting out of the house feels overwhelming, or you hesitate to leave your baby with anyone else. Maybe caring for yourself and showing up how you hoped feels out of reach.
I can help you untangle the thoughts driving that fear, calm your nervous system, and build confidence step by step so you feel safer in your world, more connected to yourself, and able to enjoy what matters instead of bracing for what might go wrong.
Self esteem issues
Do you notice the mistakes more than the wins? Does confidence feel thin, even when you’re trying your hardest? Maybe that inner critic is loud: pushing, judging, never satisfied, and it’s getting in the way of actually liking who you are.
I can help you get curious about where that voice comes from, challenge the beliefs that keep you feeling “not enough,” and build a kinder, steadier internal dialogue. Over time, you’ll learn to acknowledge your strengths without shrinking, stand in your value, and move through life from a place of self-respect rather than self-attack.
