Dr Nadia Rehman Sadiq is a counselling psychologist working in private practice, predominantly with Muslim and ethnic minority females. Throughout her training and work she has developed a keen interest in making therapy accessible and providing online psychoeducation. You can find her empowering women through creating safe spaces for emotional processing and growth.
“In my private practice, I’ve actually seen more ethnic minority individuals within the first 5-6 weeks of starting my private practice than I did in my whole 3-4 years in the NHS. For me, that says a lot.”
