Fadeela Abdelmawla , BACP, NCPS

Fadeela Abdelmawla is an integrative humanistic person-centred psychotherapist who creates a calm, reflective space for clients to explore change, growth, and healing. She supports people who feel stuck, helping them rebuild a more empowered sense of self or gently deconstruct patterns to reveal an authentic inner life. Whether the work involves finding a voice, closing a chapter with care, or pausing at a crossroads to choose the next step, she offers sensitive, steady support throughout the process.

Her practice often draws on creative methods such as metaphor, active imagination, and guided imagery to access feelings and experiences that words alone may not capture. She combines those creative tools with a range of evidence-based techniques - including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma-sensitive mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) - tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.

With eight years of clinical experience, she places equality and collaboration at the heart of the therapeutic relationship and emphasizes self-compassion, personal growth, and relief from harsh self-criticism. Fadeela holds BACP and NCPS credentials, representing professional training and recognised standards in counselling and psychotherapy. Her work invites gentle yet thorough exploration to uncover the roots of difficult feelings and to open space for healing and positive change.

Integrative approaches and online therapy

Fadeela blends person-centred principles with specific evidence-based techniques to support practical change and deeper self-understanding. Person-centred therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgemental relationship that helps clients feel heard and understood, making it useful for issues of self-esteem, life transitions, and attachment concerns.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, an approach that can help with anxiety, panic, and stress management. Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is another influence in her work, offering tools to reduce self-criticism and cultivate self-kindness when shame, guilt, or harsh self-judgment are present.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative - the therapist will work with each person to determine which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and may adapt methods as the work evolves. Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides practical flexibility, allowing clients to access therapeutic support from different locations and to choose the format that best matches their needs and schedule. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency and to integrate therapy into everyday life. Please note that Fadeela is not currently accepting new clients.
