About Nosheen
About me
My path into counselling wasn’t a straight one — my first degree was in Economics, and I started my career in the financial sector. But after becoming a parent and reflecting on my own experiences, I retrained as a therapist and completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Leeds Beckett University.
From the start, I was drawn to relationship work. I didn’t want to add it on as an extra — I wanted to specialise. So I went on to complete a rigorous three-year Master’s in Relationship Therapy. That depth of training reflects how seriously I take this work. I now focus solely on couples and relationship issues, offering dedicated, specialist support for when things feel stuck or uncertain.
Counselling Training
During my Master’s, I was fortunate enough to conduct research into racism, internalised racism, and white supremacy. That work became a passion. Throughout my counselling training, I became increasingly aware of how whiteness shows up — both in the counselling room and within counselling education itself.
Now, I run training sessions designed to help counsellors and professionals think more openly and talk more honestly about racism. I also write articles exploring these themes, and I hope to write my own book one day.
Workshops
In my counselling practice, I predominantly work with South Asian clients. Being South Asian myself, I understand how culture, religion, and family dynamics can shape — and sometimes strain — relationships.
When I have the opportunity, I run workshops for people who want to learn more about building healthy, meaningful relationships. These spaces aren’t just about information — they’re also about reflection, community, and shared experience.
