About Fadeela
Fadeela Abdelmawla is a counsellor with eight years' experience working with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of their next step. She supports clients dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. Her approach aims to help people rediscover their voice and begin practical steps towards change.
Fadeela uses a person-centred, humanistic way of working that is tailored to each person. She brings creativity into sessions, using metaphor, guided imagery and active imagination when words do not fully capture what someone is feeling.
Background and approach
This helps people access deeper understanding of painful or confusing experiences. She also blends a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit the person in front of her. Tools from cognitive behavioural ideas, trauma-sensitive mindfulness, acceptance and commitment approaches, compassion-focused work, solution-focused strategies and emotion-focused ideas may be used as appropriate.
The choice of tools is guided by the client’s needs and goals. Fadeela places a strong emphasis on self-compassion and reducing harsh self-criticism. She helps people uncover the roots of negative thoughts and feelings, and then work towards manageable changes that feel respectful and realistic.
Sessions aim to be collaborative, equal and paced to what the person can manage. Whether someone wants to process painful memories, manage panic and anxiety, or plan a new chapter in life, Fadeela offers steady support and practical ways forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Fadeela draws on a small set of evidence-based approaches and adapts them to each person. Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on noticing and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce anxiety and panic. Trauma-sensitive mindfulness helps people learn grounding and breathing strategies to manage overwhelming feelings and intrusive memories. Compassion-focused techniques encourage gentler self-talk and building self-compassion to counteract shame and harsh self-criticism.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Fadeela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the approach can change if something isn’t helpful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face connection and visual cues, phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or suit lower bandwidth, and text or chat options work well for shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
