The service was great. I found professional British counselling with a religious focus and understanding to be very helpful in discussing and finding solutions to problems. Having more male and female therapists with Arabic backgrounds would benefit mixed marriage families like mine.\n\nIt\u2019s great to have this in Oldham, as I usually found such services only in London, Birmingham, and Manchester.\n\nJazakaallah <\/div>\r\n

Salaam.\nI\u2019m so grateful alhamdulilah for the guidance you offered during our marriage counselling. Your ability to stay impartial, listen deeply, and reflect thoughts back with such clarity made me feel genuinely understood, which I was yearning for for so long. I can\u2019t express how much that actually impacted me. \n\nI would strongly recommend to anyone seeking support along their journey of marriage.<\/div>\r\n

During the most difficult time of my life I decided to reach out to Mohammed with the hope that he will be able to provide me with advice regarding my problem. Coming from a south Asian background, being female in my mid 30s, it is often difficult to find a male community member with both cultural, religious and societal understanding of common problems we are faced with everyday. Mohammed was by far one of the most well rounded, professional, and informed individual who provided me with support and advice without prejudice and judgement.<\/div>\r\n

Talking to Mohammed, has helped me a lot. It has always been productive, helpful and has brought a lot of peace to my heart, especially when I have needed it the most.\n\nI feel he is willing to listen very attentively (even though I may have repeated myself over and over again).\n\nAnd he has also given a positive outlook on things, which, otherwise would have been difficult for me to think about. \n\nI also feel comfortable when I speak to him, and I am able to speak what is on my mind, with confidence that I will not be judged.\n<\/div>\r\n
