Ms Fatima Zarah Bashir

Therapist / Counselor (Qualifying)

“A registered member of the British Psychological Society practising under supervision to become a clinical psychologist.”

About Me

I help individuals navigate life's complexities, offering a confidential and supportive space for exploration. As a registered member of the British Psychological Society, my practice is consistently supervised by an experienced clinical psychologist. This commitment ensures you receive ethical, up-to-date support, and a dedicated approach to your well-being. Clients seeking a thoughtful, growth-focused environment will find a secure setting to process emotions and develop new coping skills.

Approach

Working with clinical supervision shapes how I structure sessions: steady, reflective and accountable, with room to explore difficult feelings at a careful pace. In my Abuja practice I offer sessions in English, Arabic or Hausa, keeping each meeting focused and collaborative—short check-ins, gentle psychoeducation and clear goals we revisit together. I use assessment-informed questions alongside supportive exploration so adolescents and adults can make sense of trauma, anxiety or relationship pain and try new coping steps between meetings. Those seeking a thoughtful, ethically grounded space often find this pace helpful.
