“Transform Your Mind: Discover Empowering Psychological Therapies Today!”
I am Iram Siddiqui, a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in mental health. I’ve worked across a range of NHS roles, developing a broad and nuanced understanding of psychological therapies and how they can support lasting change.
As a qualified Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) therapist and EMDR practitioner, I offer tailored therapeutic approaches for individuals facing emotional and psychological challenges. My aim is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings — and build the resilience to move forward.
If you’re looking for compassionate, professional support on your path to mental wellness, I’d love to hear from you.
Let’s embark on this adventure together.
