I attended therapy as I had suffered from depression and anxiety for many years and I was finding it particularly debilitating at this time. I had extremely low self esteem and also felt a lot of anger, guilt and fear. I saw Azeem on a weekly basis over 16 months. Therapy can be an unnerving and in some case clinical experience but Azeem had a very calm and welcoming demeanour that always made me feel at ease. He also made me feel that he was genuinely empathetic and cared about my wellbeing and happiness.
Azeem enabled me to come to terms with numerous things from my past and the present. Most importantly he helped me to recognise that I was entitled to my thoughts and feelings and that my opinions were just as valid as the next person. This self worth has remained with me 5 years after having finished therapy and it is incredibly liberating. I cannot recommend Azeem enough.

I began weekly therapy sessions with Azeem in my late twenties, following a series of mental breakdowns. Azeem provided a supportive environment that gave me space to explore the experiences that had contributed to my breakdowns; the sessions were straightforward and involved very little jargon. Over a period of eighteen months I was able to begin piecing myself back together. Ten months on from my last session I am enjoying a very full life, and preparing to start a PhD. The therapy sessions I had with Azeem help me every day, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I worked with Azeem, for six years, through some major transitions and changes. I always felt accepted and supported by Azeem, and never judged. I felt able to talk about anything, no matter how difficult and painful. Azeem has a very warm gentle presence and I always felt very safe and contained with him.
Working with Azeem played a major part in helping me to make radical changes in my life, moving from a very dark emotional landscape to a place I felt at times would be impossible for me to dream of... finding my place in the world, at peace with my past, anticipating a joyful future I now feel I deserve. I came from a place of darkness and avoidance to a place of full commitment to life, with Azeem’s patient support and empathy. I always felt he was on my side and believed in me when I could not believe in myself.
