Welcome
As human beings we hold a great deal inside — emotionally, psychologically, socially. Sometimes the things we’ve been through are hard to think about, and harder still to say out loud. You might feel you’d be burdening others, or that it’s too private to share. But what we keep in tends to stay with us, and everyday stress builds on top of it.
Counselling offers something different: a confidential, unhurried space with someone you can trust, to examine your thoughts and feelings and make sense of where you are. Could it be the right step for you?
How I can help
Ongoing worry, low mood, isolation, low self-esteem, difficulty sleeping, or feeling unable to cope.
Bereavement, divorce, fleeing conflict, displacement, or losses that were never given a chance to be grieved.
Difficulty forming or sustaining relationships, separation from children, abuse, or growing up in a difficult home.
Questions of sexual identity, or the strain of adjusting to a new country, culture, language and way of life.
Moving for work or study, cultural shock, expatriate and diplomatic transitions, and adjustment disorder.
Long-held anger, guilt or shame, addiction, and the patterns that quietly shape everyday life.
Why it matters
Some things are almost impossible to put into a second language. I’m fluent in Arabic, Somali and English, and offer therapy in all three equally — so you can speak about what matters in the words that come naturally, without translating your own feelings first.
Get in touchHow sessions work
We meet regularly — usually weekly — for around 50 minutes, either for a fixed period or open-ended, whatever suits you. Everything we discuss is completely confidential.
Sessions take place online by video call (Zoom or Microsoft Teams) or by telephone, so we can work together wherever you are in the UK. In-person sessions are available in Ealing by arrangement.

“Fadumo has been kind, compassionate, and supportive throughout my sessions. She always created a space where I felt heard without judgment. What stood out to me most was that she took the time to check in on me, which made me feel genuinely cared for as a person, not just as a client.”
