Sabbir Ahmed
Clinical Psychotherapist
Do you suffer from counterproductive, intrusive thoughts? Are you critical of yourself, ignoring your achievements and strengths? Do you struggle with self-confidence and believing in yourself? Perhaps, you strive to make changes to your life, but no matter how hard you strive, you find that the same thinking patterns and responses occur to you repeatedly.
You may find yourself stuck in lacklustre, even toxic relationships; worse, returning to them often. You may find that you struggle with your self-image, whether physical, financial, interpersonal, spiritual or social. No matter what specific challenges you face with self-esteem or relationships, Sabbir is here to help. As an experienced psychotherapist in the NHS and private practice, Sabbir often works with clients who report these issues.
Sabbir Ahmed is a clinical psychotherapist, having worked in the NHS and in education for many years. Sabbir’s practice is founded upon an evidence-based integrative approach, drawing upon CBT, DBT, systemic and psychoanalytic modalities, in addition to mindfulness. Sabbir is here to guide you through your current challenges, and explore the reasons you may face them, working together towards a plan of action.
