Rahim Nas MBACP

Hello I'm Rahim, I am a qualified person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

The Person-Centred modality fits into my philosophy of life; that the individual knows what is best for them and is capable of coming to their own conclusions based on their own value system. 

Sometimes, we could all use a safe, non-judgemental space to help us get there. 

A part of my therapy journey and training has been around working with the difficulties of confronting cultural and identity conflicts. 

From early on my reality became that of navigating two worlds, one within the family home and one outside the front door; where 'belonging' was a big question for me. 

Pursuing this question led to major life changing decisions. Exploring this in my therapy led to discovering that my answer to belonging was an internal safe and secure place of self acceptance.

The personal sense of liberation and empowerment I gained through therapy inspired me to train as a person centred therapist; to be able to offer that liberating non judgemental space to others. 

Practice description

My role as a person-centred counsellor is to walk beside you in your therapeutic journey, where you lead the direction of the session.

To actively listen as you explore your experience which may provide a deeper clarity regarding the issues that brought you to counselling. 

No expectations, no deadlines, no judgement. Only complete acceptance of who and where you are.

First Session

The first session can be that time to settle in and become accustomed to the atmosphere.

To step towards building the therapeutic relationship that is based in trust.  

This is where we could have a conversation about your background and reasons for seeking counselling, how you are feeling about it in general and if there are any particular areas you would like to focus on.

We will go over the contract and privacy policy that I would have emailed you a few days prior.

Based on your needs we can make amendments to the contract where applicable.
