Islam and Counselling Training in Thailand

Islam and Counselling Training in Thailand

Islam and counselling Training in Thailand.

A great opportunity where I delivered training to a large organisation on how they would work with their clients. The organisation worked  with a cross section of the community and were particularly interested in utilising counselling skill as well as how to work with Muslim clients, across diverse cultures.

It was surprising that English being their second language the learners were able to easily grasp the key concepts and apply it into their role.  We had lots of fun during the training and I enjoyed seeing the transformation from beginning to end.

I was humbled by the learners who were hard working, committed and showed a huge amount of respect to the Tutor (myself) with great positivity, enthusiasm and eagerness to learn more.

Alhumdulilah at the end of the course, I received positive praise from the Learners as well as managers and the Observers who all gave me 5 stars.

Social Environment

After a long day at work, I would venture out, visit heritage and taste the local Cuisine. Before going to Thailand, I was informed by many not to venture out as it was not seen as a safe place. However, I found the people to be friendly, polite, and considerate. They went out of their way to find me halal food. As a Muslim who wears the headscarf I found Thailand to be more safe than London.

As some of you may be aware that I love my food and it was  great to see that they have their priorities in  place where you would order you lunch in the morning before you start the day. I think I may have put on weight and I have no idea how the women in that country stay slim with all the delicious food.

Even though it was a long journey, I will not forget my Learners who made my stay extra special

Religion, the brain and connection to Mental Health

Although religion is mostly detached from modern psychology and science, there is no doubt that religion plays an important role in how a persons brain can be wired. Islamic doctrines are embedded in the lifestyles of Muslims.

At this event you will see the connection between Neuroscience and Islam, where Muslims were the pioneers in the field of psychology, a better understanding of the brain and how faith can increase our plasticity.

Much more will be delivered at the talk and Ayesha hopes to see you there inshallah.

Islamic Counselling Chaplain Training with Ayesha Aslam

It’s an honour to be invited at this years Muslim Chaplains / Imams conference, where Ayesha Aslam  will be talking about Neuroscience and Mental Health

From what we have learnt on delivering our accredited Islamic counselling courses people have a poor image of Imams, sheikhs and Muslim chaplains, we have worked hard to change perceptions and changing Minds where we invite a sheikh to attend the course and deliver a speech. This has convinced learners that educated Imams should be seen as a Helper in a helping role. A person you should be able to approach who will support you by providing a safe confidential space where you can talk without the fear of being judged by the community.

Quotes from the course

I found it not only increased my Islamic knowledge  but also my perception of Sheikhs and Imams

I was a bit dubious at first, wondering  what the Sheikh came in for, by the end of it i had changed my perception, the sheikh was excellent and helped me to understand in applying Islamic knowledge in the counselling process

We continue to support the community and offer training to Imams, sheikhs and Chaplains so that they are aware of Mental Health. They can become the pillar of our community once more, inshallah.
