My experience with Habib Counselling…

My experience with Habib Counselling was very helpful and it was an eye opener for me. I was already aware with some of my ‘issues’ however I didn’t know how to implement that in life in a positive way. Instead I saw it as a negative thing & that was very draining, he made me realised a lot of things I didn’t; some of my characteristics, my defence mechanisms & how my thought process affects my moods/motivation. Whoever is reading this I hope you know that you’re not alone with whatever you’re going through. It is okay to talk to someone, it doesn’t make you weak. Putting your mental health first is the best thing you can do for yourself, I know it’s easier said than done & it’s frowned upon within ethnic minority cultures. But when you make that first step you will not regret. Wish you all the best In Sha Allah & thank you Habib for being there to listen to me and helping me with my depression/anxiety.

A gamechanger

A gamechanger. I truly cannot put into words the impact therapy has had on my life as a man. Counsellor Habib has the ability to break your emotions and thoughts, all whilst making the most difficult trials possibilities that one can overcome.

Therapy is a long winded journey which entails an incredible amount of patience & pain but having him has resulted in having a different outlook on the way I deal with trials. I am proud to say that I have also increased in self worth, value and confidence in my approach to life.

I highly recommend Counsellor H if one is looking to improve and come with honesty and a level of integrity. I would also recommend his services to somali men who feel a sense of shame and shyness in releasing bottled up emotions and unresolved feelings that they cannot muster in doing so with family/friends.

Great counsellor :)

My experience with counsellor Mohamed was very insightful and I feel like I have grown in the time frame I was seeing him.
He helped me see things in a new perspective and have better understanding of myself and the people around me.I would highly recommend his services to anyone that is in need of insight and growth within themselves.

My session with Mohammed have been life changing

My sessions with Mohammed have been life changing. He has helped me to look at challenges in life from a different perspective and has given me many practical tools to help me deal with my anxiety. We were able to dig to the roots of what was causing my anxiety, and over the months, we worked on developing and improving in different areas.
Through having the sessions, I feel more confident and am able to approach situations and challenges with more confidence than before, and also my relationship with my family and friends has also improved.

habib councelling

habib counselling has honestly changed my life for the better. even as a teenage girl i don't think i'd have become as strong as i have learnt to be through my mental health and even religious faith. although it has been quite some time since i last saw him, i always turn back and think of the advice hes given me. hes extremely understanding and definatley doesnt just tell you what you want to hear. he says things how they are for you to truly see the light of the situation and really change it rather than let you live in a false reality. 100% reccommend

The council I have received has been insightful and meaningful in ways I didn’t know possible until someone listen and heard my point of view and how I have been hiding all these emotions under fake pretence and excuses.

The counselling actually helped me better understand and control my anger in different/new ways.

Very insightful and intuitive Counsellor

Habib has helped our family (adults and teens) through a very difficult time while we were all going through numerous complex issues, including things that I went through in my childhood which has had an impact on our lives decades later.

Habib is a very intuitive and insightful Counsellor and has the ability to buid a rapport with adults and kids alike. Our sessions with him (individual ones and group sessions) have been positively challenging and helped us address issues we either failed to address previously or were completely oblivious to prior to counselling.

Your future self will thank you for it!

I would highly recommended seeing Mahamed Habib! Finding someone who would understand the culture and background I was coming from was extremely important and Mahamed has been that and more. I didn’t know what to expect from counselling but I can truly say it’s helped me better my life! Thank you Mahamed again I can’t thank you enough!

Very much Needed!

Best decision I've ever made! My weekly counselling sessions with Mohamed is so important to make me understand my feelings and thoughts for that week. As the months have gone by, Mohamed has helped me to identify and understand my key deep-rooted issues that results in my unwished-for feelings I regularly feel, and consequently my actions!

He is a great listener. He is also non-judgmental, so he makes me feel that my thoughts/feelings and actions are absolutely OK and normal given my circumstances and past events, and has already helped me overcome some of it. He acknowledges that my feelings are true and understands that they've come from somewhere, even when I can't explain it! This is definitely a life-long thing for me, even on my good weeks as I can reflect on why those weeks have been better. He, overall, has the key characteristics that makes him the great therapist that he is!

I was given a safe and comfortable space…

I was given a safe and comfortable space to freely express my feelings and what I was going through without being judged. Since I started these counselling sessions, I've been able to understand myself more and think more positively when facing hardships. I've also been able to slowly improve myself and work towards something whereas previously my life was stagnant.

I definitely recommend Habib Counselling if you feel like overwhelmed or just need a space to talk freely. It doesn't matter how inconsequential you feel it is, you'll be surprised about how much you can take from the counselling.

Patient centered and a role model

I have struggled with finding the solutions to my mental health and spiritual problems for the past 9 years. Throughout this time, I have searched for help through the NHS, private therapists and a host of books and scholars, yet none of these sources could understand the route of my issues and dedicate the necessary time to work through them.

Mr Mohamoud in this regard works at a higher caliber. His approach to treating clients is totally patient-centered, and to his credit he is not in the business of telling you what you want to here. He brings to light the root causes of what creates my anxiety and depression in a timely manner, and through a host of tailor made strategies and practices he guides you toward working through my neurotic reaction patterns in a steady, progressive manner.

His approach to healing has been inspirational and unprecedented in its effectiveness, and I hope to be able to embody the lessons I have received as to show what is possible with hard work and having the humility to seek help when necessary.

In the short time that we have been together. I feel like for the first time in my life someone understand me and is able to get around the walls i threw. The honesty that shines a light on my childhood scars have been more than instrumental in helping heal the divisions in my life.

I wasn’t expecting to be understood

Habib counselling was surprisingly good. I used to think I was okay and could overcome things on my own and didn’t understand the benefits of talking to someone about my issues. After just one session it was apparent many of my coping mechanisms was just dealing with the symptoms and not actually the disease.

Mohammed is a really good listener and has the unique ability to sift through all my ramblings and actually highlight my problematic thought patterns.

I would highly recommend him as a therapist whether you are facing serious mental health issues or even just struggling with ‘life’. Through this I have come to understand that therapy is for everyone, regardless of how strong you think they are.

Best counsellor!

Therapy sessions with Habib has been an invaluable experience. When starting, I was emotionally numb, depressed, anxious, had lack of self belief and always putting others before myself when first starting therapy. Habib is an authentic, empathetic, patient and trustworthy counsellor who always went the extra mile to ensure that I knew and felt that I was in a safe space to be vulnerable. Habib taught me both indirectly and directly how to set healthy boundaries, put myself first without feeling guilty and how to recognise when I need to slow down.
The best part of it all was that I was able to open up to a counsellor who I shared the same culture and religion with and understood the difficulties I faced in being the eldest Somali daughter bearing majority of the responsibilities of the house, whilst trying to study and work and the fear of being disobedient.
I don’t think I would have ever gained as much I did with my sessions with Habib with another counsellor who had differing cultural/religious views.
I strongly recommend starting therapy with Habib!!

Habib Counselling

Habib Counselling
Coming to therapy in the beginning was so difficult but Mohamed’s empathetic, understanding and relatable nature made it so easy for me to be comfortable enough to share my thoughts and feelings honestly without fear of judgment. Mohamed has taught me a lot about how feelings can affect thoughts and actions and how having positive affirmations can really bring about positive actions. In such a short period of time I’ve made more progress than I have in years. I’m really grateful for his services. I can’t wait to continue this healing journey together. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can’t thank you enough for being there for me through difficult times when I was at my lowest. Thank you for validating my feelings and accepting me. I would 100% recommend your services to those struggling with mental health issues.

This incredible counsellor helped me change my life

Habib counselling has been instrumental in turning my life around and working on my self, he is empathetic and really goes out of his way to help because he genuinely cares. After seeing him give a speech about mental health I could see his approach was both empathetic and constructive, this combined with his experience made going to him an easy decision - and from my first session I immediately knew it was the right one. I have been attending for over a year now and I have made so much progress, and it couldn’t have been made without the help of Mohammed.

Habibcounselling was timely in my life, where I was battling within. It made a huge difference to experience therapy with a counsellor from the same background. Mohamed has demonstrated professionalism and made me feel comfortable to work through my struggles.
