Ruzina Hasan

Hello, my name is Ruzina, I’m glad you are considering me as your therapist, which is an important choice, as the quality of the relationship between the therapist and client is the essence of a good outcome of therapy.  I am here to go on a journey of self-discovery with you with any difficulties that may arise on the journey. Whether you’re seeking a simple improvement or healing from deep wounds, within yourself and/or with others, I am here to support you. I understand that at times your family and friends may be part of the problem, this is where I come with fresh eyes into your situation, an open heart, and much experience and strength to help you regain your sense of who you are. Sometimes people find it difficult or uncomfortable to put their feelings into words, make sense of what they are going through and need help & support from someone outside of their personal life. This is where we can explore things together to create a clearer picture.

Respect, honesty, safety and empathy are the pillars of my long established confidential psychotherapy counselling practice. I offer a warm safe non- judgmental therapeutic supportive environment in which we can work together.  Are you having trouble with what you are currently experiencing? Personal difficulties take many forms; anxiety, self-esteem, depression, lacking confidence, trauma, anger-management, stress, cultural and religious struggles, or relationship problems. Such difficulties can leave you feeling low, making it hard to get the best out of life and work. We all are vulnerable to stereotyping, as I have experienced stereotype in my own life, it is my intention and zeal to motivate and support your journey and growth in whatever identities and struggles you are experiencing.

I’m also seen as approachable, gentle, having a sense of humour and a balanced viewpoint.

I’ve worked with people all my life in the public sector, education and caring professions, where I have used my relational skills to build good relationships. In my career so far, I have worked and supported people of all ages, genders, races, religions, and cultural backgrounds. I have enjoyed this rich experience of diversity and uniqueness.I don’t come with a set of expectation about you and appreciate that coming to therapy can be daunting and take time to settle. I offer long and short term therapy and personal developmental work to individuals.

With my multi-lingual background, other than English, I provide therapy additionally in; Urdu, Bengali, Hindi, Mirpuri, and Punjabi, which gives you the flexibility to choose which language you feel expressing in. Therefore, I also offer culturally sensitive and culturally inclusive therapy if needed.
