Fadeela Abdelmawla

Fadeela Abdelmawla offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people who feel stuck and want to explore what they are going through. She supports clients who wish to rebuild into a more empowered version of themselves or to deconstruct patterns in order to uncover their authentic inner self.

Sometimes the work focuses on finding a voice to hear oneself and be heard. Other times it is about carefully closing a chapter in a way that honors past versions of self while opening a new chapter full of hope and curiosity. When clients find themselves at a crossroads, Fadeela helps them step back, consider options, and choose the next step forward.

Therapy with Fadeela provides quiet, sensitive support for processing both the highs and the lows of life. Her style is creative and often uses metaphor, active imagination and guided imagery to access experience when words alone may not suffice. She describes herself as an Integrative Humanistic Person-Centred Psychotherapist and blends diverse approaches to tailor therapy to each person’s needs.

She uses a range of therapeutic tools including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma-sensitive mindfulness, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT).

With 8 years of experience and a practice in the United Kingdom, Fadeela places equality at the heart of the therapeutic collaboration. Her work emphasises self-compassion and personal growth, supporting clients to free themselves from unrealistic expectations and the harshness of self-criticism.

Her approach to exploration can be both gentle and in-depth, aiming to reveal the roots of difficult feelings and create space for healing and positive change. She works as a therapist of colour, and is female, older, non-religious and identifies as conservative.
