Hi, I’m Nadia RaAfat, Psychosynthesis Counsellor and women’s therapist

Psychosynthesis Counselling offers a pathway to healing, awakening and finding meaning in life’s key experiences

Life can feel overwhelming, fragmented, or quietly unfulfilling - even when everything looks “fine” on the surface. You may be navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, identity questions, or a sense that you’ve lost touch with yourself.

I am a trained BACP accredited psychosynthesis counsellor with a deep interest in the complexity of human experience—how our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of purpose intertwine. I have a particular interest in supporting women as they navigate their heroine’s journey and young people fulfil their potential.

Whatever your gender, I offer a compassionate, reflective space where you can explore your inner world safely and at your own pace. My approach is rooted in Psychosynthesis counselling, somatic experiencing and mindfulness—supporting you not only to understand your struggles, but to integrate them into a full bodied deeper sense of meaning, purpose and wholeness.

“One of the best things each of us can do, not only for ourselves but also for our children and grandchildren, is to metabolise our pain and heal our trauma”

Healing happens in the body, the mind and the spirit

I work with you to explore three dimensions: where you've been, where you are now, and where you're moving towards. But unlike traditional talking therapies, I also work with your body and the spiritual dimensions of your experience. Healing happens when your mind, body and spirit come into alignment.

Through bodily awareness practices, we tune into what your body is telling you. This isn't just thinking your way through things; it's integrating your whole self.

Whether you're navigating relationship difficulties, trauma recovery, anxiety, life transitions, family conflict, loss, self-discovery or questions of meaning and purpose, this approach helps you move beyond coping and towards genuine wholeness.

Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you understand yourself more deeply, resourcing you and supporting you to move from reaction to response and from surviving to thriving and to live with greater clarity, authenticity, and connection to Self and others.

PSYCHOSYNTHESIS COUNSELLING

A unique approach that goes beyond traditional talking therapy. At the heart of this transpersonal psychology lies the belief that each person possesses profound potential and an inherent ability to integrate the many facets of the self, allowing for ongoing growth, development, and expansion.

"My time working with Nadia was an eye-opening chapter that I will continue to cherish. Nadia created a space in which I was able to tap into myself with a heightened awareness and compassion. She paid attention to my evolving context, whilst nurturing my own ability to reflect on and steer my trajectory. Our sessions together were a warm environment of mutual respect and trust. I'm deeply grateful for the tools that she has offered me, which continue to be useful and rewarding. "
