Global Institute for CBT Reviews 42

Zainab is a great counsellor with a warming present personality. She listens and shares great insight and knowledge that has helped me on my therapy journey.  Very happy with her service and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of counselling.  Thank you Zainab for making it easy to open up. I am very grateful for all your help.

Zainab has been incredibly supportive throughout my sessions. She is a great listener and always putting solutions and techniques forward to help manage my anxiety. I could not have done it without her. I have learnt so much about my self and couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you for all that you do Zainab! You are amazing!

Really useful session. Great to share with other parents and hear from them

Zainab has been wonderful during my CBT therapy sessions. Although to some my problem seems small, she made me feel heard and helped me over massive obstacles in my day to day life. Thank you so much for everything Zainab!

Zainab has been life changing.
8 weeks ago I was referred to Dr Julian and had to pick a therapist over my 28 years of trauma through the armed forces.
I was very reluctant at first as I've asked many medical professionals for help and have nothing back.
Zainab showed empathy and her professional knowledge was outstanding.
She has changed my way of thinking and the people around me in a positive way.
She's made me understand how my brain works and how it affects my physical health and the manage both.
I would recommend Zainab

Zainab has been very kind and non judgemental throughout our sessions, which had made them feel safe and easy to go into. She has been very kind and attentive, and has been very helpful in giving advice and guidance throughout.

Having CBT for the first time with Zainab was a very helpful experience. She listened attentively to the problems I had and made me think more deeply about why I felt how I was and how I could use different techniques to solve them. I particularly liked the way I was pushed into exercises that would normally struggle with and saw that all was not as it seemed. Thank you for all your help Zainab!

This was my first time doing CBT and Zainab was so lovely and helped me feel safe and explained the process to me thoroughly. She made sure I understood the process and how the sessions would be laid out. She was very patient with me and gave me advice and helped me solve my issues, even if I was not willing to hear her out. Zainab was very lovely and I could not recommend her enough. I am happy with the outcome of our sessions and all she has taught me.

This is not my first time with CBT and through my experience it has always come down to who you are working with.
Zainba has shown dedication, understanding and compassion with me over the past few weeks. She is professional and has strong foundation of knowledge.
I would love to have the opportunity to work with her again.

Zainab and I worked closely together through my complex PTSD, due to childhood trauma.
For 9 weeks
The first 2 weeks she took time to explain how the brain works and how it processed all the trauma. It was a total game changer and helped me understand and use strategies in the future when mental health issues are challenged again.
I now believe in my and my inner child and starting to love myself for the first time in 40 years.
We laughed together she really “got”me and I got her
I really trust her and highly recommend her to anyone needing help with self esteem rejection and inner child work.
Thank zainab
Bless you for your guidance

I had the privilege of working with Zainab who worked effortlessly to help me restore confidence in myself. I felt listened to and validated throughout my experience and appreciate how down to earth she is. I have learned so much and I look forward to using the tools she taught me to continue striving! Cannot recommend her enough!

I felt comfortable and was made very welcome, the approach in using logic and science based information really enabled me to challenge my negative thoughts. I would highly recommend Zainab. Thank you so much.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into therapy (CBT) for the 2nd time in my life so far. Especially as my main problem was that I had no idea why I was struggling the way I was and so had no clue what I'd be able to say or talk about. I was really pleasantly surprised and relieved when that didn't seem to phase my therapist Zainab at all. She gently and inquisitively led me through what I was feeling, helped me articulate it and turn over the mental stones in my mind to help me understand myself more and establish/re-affirm tools to be able to better cope and navigate things going forward. I'm truly grateful for all her help. I was referred through my employer's healthcare provider, and it has been a breath of fresh air from start to finish, especially considering how apprehensive I was about it all at the start. Every interaction made me feel more and more like I had done the best thing by reaching out and getting help.

Zainab is truly amazing. Thanks to her compassionate approach, I've experienced significant positive changes. I now feel more in control of my emotions and feelings, something I struggled with for some time. From our very first session, Zainab created a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing my feelings and experiences. She listened attentively and with genuine empathy, making me feel heard and understood. Zainab equipped me with practical knowledge and tools to navigate through challenges and negative thoughts, helping me to overcome anxiety and negative thinking.Thanks to Zainab, I now feel more confident and in control. I'm incredibly grateful for her support.

Zainab has been great the last 8 weeks during my therapy. Super understanding, patient and is very happy to explain things further. As someone who suffers from social anxiety, Zainab made me feel super comfortable and within a session I was comfortable to open myself up. I am glad I had Zainab as my therapist and highly recommend.

Zainab has been superb during my sessions. Even when I was in a dark period she still was able to make me smile. Its a shame our sessions had to end as they had become very much an enjoyable part of my week. Thank you.

Zainab has been exceptional! During a difficult period in my life, she helped me with coping strategies and was patient, authentic and understanding.

Zainab was so kind, understanding and approachable. She listened to my problems without judgement and made me feel cared for at a time when I was really struggling and needed the support. I wish I had met her sooner.
Zainab told me to go forward with positivity and wonder which I will always remember and try to do going forward.
Thanks Zainab!
