Bareha Ahmed

My availability consists of weekday mornings, afternoons and evenings as well as weekends upon request.

Welcome! My name is Bareha. I am a woman, a wife, a dedicated psychotherapist, lover of books and coffee, pet owner, reality tv enthusiast, amateur true crime detective and so much more. Fun fact about me is I almost always have a podcast playing in the background, all day long!

I have a Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a minor in Sociology and a Masters of Science in Counselling with a focus on Clinical Mental Health. I was born and bred in Oklahoma, USA and moved to the UK in 2022 after marrying my husband.

I became a therapist because wanted to help others (cliche, I know!) I struggled with my own mental health throughout my teenage years and into early adulthood, specifically anxiety, depression, disordered eating and religious trauma. I found myself wanting to be a helper to others like me, going through the same things that I did. I took the leap and changed my degree plan halfway through my original program and never looked back. Being a human is hard. And we all can benefit from support along the way.

Every individual has their own identity, story and experiences that shape them. As your therapist, my role is to walk alongside you, providing guidance and support as together we navigate life's challenges. I believe therapy is a collaborative process and that you are the expert of your life. But, together, we will explore the complexities of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, helping you gain insight and clarity.

I have experience in many areas but the ones I have expended my knowledge on include anxiety, depression, trauma, miscarriage/infertility, family dynamics within religion/culture, and religious trauma. I am a Pakistani Muslim woman and understand the complexities of being a woman of colour in a challenging world where different cultures and religions are not readily accepted. I hope to support you on your road to clarity in whichever way possible.

I offer a free clarity phone call before booking the initial session in order to answer any questions or concerns you may have about the process. I offer remote sessions only.
