Mrs Ruji Rahman

Psychotherapist

Cognitive Behavioural & Islamic Psychotherapist, Harley Street Specialist, Consultant. Specialist in CBT, Islamic Psychology/Psychotherapy, anxiety disorders, depression and addictions. 20+ years experience of Psychology and mental health. Private Practice.

About Me

Navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, or addiction can feel overwhelming. I offer a deeply experienced, integrated approach, blending Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Islamic Psychology principles. With over 20 years in psychology and mental health, I provide a clear, supportive space. This unique blend helps clients understand their difficulties and develop practical strategies for lasting change. My aim is to help you find clarity and build resilience.

Approach

The work unfolds through a steady, structured pace that blends practical skill-building with attention to meaning and values. In London or online I keep sessions focused and collaborative—short, clear agendas, behavioural experiments and gentle reflection that link thought, feeling and action. Between sessions you’ll be given brief, concrete tasks and simple psychoeducation to practise skills in daily life, with regular review of what helps. This way suits people who want evidence-based, values-attuned change that fits real life.
