Nasrin Rashid

Nasrin Rashid is a trainee counsellor working with adults, offering a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where clients can feel heard, understood and accepted. She understands that taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting and believes that having a safe and trusting space to talk can make a real difference. Nasrin is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and is working towards an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling at The Awareness Centre. Her integrative approach draws on different therapeutic perspectives, allowing her to adapt her work to each individual and their unique experiences, needs and goals.

Nasrin works collaboratively with clients, taking time to understand what has brought them to therapy and what they hope to gain from it. She offers space to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences, and to develop a greater understanding of patterns in how we think, feel and respond to life’s challenges. She does not believe there is a “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy and respects each person’s individual pace and way of making sense of their experiences. She places great importance on the therapeutic relationship and believes that feeling genuinely listened to, respected and accepted can create the foundation for meaningful change. Her approach is compassionate and supportive, while encouraging clients to recognise their own strengths, develop self-awareness and explore new ways of understanding themselves and their experiences.

Alongside her counselling training, Nasrin has professional experience within the NHS and the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, supporting people through periods of challenge, change and uncertainty. This experience has deepened her understanding of the different circumstances that can affect emotional wellbeing and strengthened her commitment to meeting each person with empathy, respect and without judgement. Nasrin is committed to creating a welcoming space where clients can be themselves and explore whatever they may be experiencing. Whether they are facing a particular difficulty, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or simply wanting to understand themselves more deeply, she offers a space to pause, reflect and make sense of what is happening. Her aim is to support clients in developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, while working together towards greater emotional wellbeing and personal growth, at a pace that feels right for them.
