Pioneering Islamic counselling since 2006
Sakoon Counselling was founded by psychotherapist Ayesha Aslam in 2006 after recognising a need for professional counselling that also understood the importance of faith, culture, family and identity.
Since then, Sakoon has developed into a professional counselling and training organisation supporting individuals, couples and families through culturally sensitive and faith-informed approaches, including Islamic Counselling, while contributing to the development of future counselling practitioners.
Our work brings together therapeutic theory, clinical experience, professional training and culturally sensitive practice.
