Fadeela Abdelmawla, BACP, NCPS

Fadeela Abdelmawla is an integrative humanistic, person-centred psychotherapist who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. With eight years of practice, she blends creative, expressive techniques with structured therapeutic methods to help clients gain clarity, resilience, and a greater sense of self. Her approach often uses metaphor, active imagination, and guided imagery to access material that can be hard to name with words alone, while also drawing on evidence-based tools to address patterns in thinking and behaviour.

Fadeela places self-compassion and equality at the heart of the therapeutic relationship, helping clients soften harsh self-criticism and explore the roots of difficult feelings with both gentle and in-depth inquiry. She works collaboratively to help people find their voice, make meaningful endings when needed, or map out new beginnings that honour past versions of themselves. Her practice integrates techniques such as cognitive behavioural strategies, trauma-sensitive mindfulness, acceptance and commitment work, and compassion-focused methods to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Registered with professional bodies (BACP and NCPS), Fadeela offers a warm, creative space for clients seeking to understand and transform anxiety, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image struggles, caregiver stress, communication problems, and related issues. She aims to help clients move from feeling stuck toward practical, compassionate change and renewed possibility.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online support

Fadeela commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns - an approach that can be especially helpful for anxiety, panic and stress. She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on accepting difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and committed action to build a meaningful life. Compassion-Focused Therapy is another central strand in her work, aimed at reducing self-criticism and cultivating self-kindness when shame or guilt are prominent.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Fadeela works collaboratively with clients to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods as understanding deepens and progress unfolds. The emphasis is on partnership and practical steps that feel manageable and relevant.

Online therapy with Fadeela is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and energy levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, travel, or work commitments, and they allow registered professionals to deliver consistent, accessible care across locations.
