Welcome to Salamah
A space for emotional wellbeing, grounded in compassion,
cultural understanding and faith-aware support.
At Salamah we believe mental wellbeing involves the whole person. It is not only about addressing challenges but nurturing the emotional, spiritual and cultural parts of who you are.
The word Salamah reflects peace, safety and wholeness. It captures our aim of creating a space where you feel secure, valued and understood.
Salamah offers integrative counselling for young people, adults and families, with specialist support for youth mental health including self-harm, suicidal ideation, anxiety, trauma and low self-esteem. Our counsellors are trained in Islamic counselling and psychology and have extensive experience supporting teenagers within Muslim communities. We provide culturally informed therapy for individuals from BAME and ethnic minority backgrounds, recognising how faith, race and culture shape mental health and family experiences. While we offer Islamic integrative counselling, we also work with clients from Hindu, Sikh and Black communities, and have therapists trained in neurodivergent counselling, including support for young people and adults on the autism spectrum. Our community-based experience allows us to understand the realities young people face and deliver trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate support both in and beyond the therapy room.
