Welcome to Tamkeen Counselling Services

At Tamkeen we believe that everyone deserves a safe space to heal, grow and find strength within.

In Arabic, “Tamkeen” (تمكين) is a direct translation of the concept of “enablement” and “empowerment“.

It’s used to describe initiatives or actions that aim to provide resources, opportunities, or support to people or groups, enabling

them to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

Testimonials

"Working with Nisa has made a huge difference in my life. When I first started, I was struggling through some major life changes and anxiety was taking over my thoughts, emotions, and daily routines. But through our sessions, I learned to understand and manage it in a healthier way. Nisa offered a safe, supportive space where I felt truly heard. She is warm and compassionate and her guidance helped me develop tools to calm my mind, challenge negative thoughts, and feel more in control. I'm now living with more confidence and peace than I thought possible. I'm so grateful for her support."

"Working with Rena has truly been life-changing. She supported me through some of my darkest moments. Not just by listening but by really seeing me. She validated my experiences while also gently guiding me to reflect on my patterns and thoughts, always with compassion and honesty. What made our sessions especially meaningful was her ability to blend Islamic wisdom with psychological insight. She helped me understand how my brain works, gave me practical tools to challenge the negative thoughts that looped endlessly in my mind, and taught me how to slowly rewire those patterns. No matter how many times I came back to the same issue, she never rushed me. She listened, again and again, until I’d worked through it in my own time. Even when my thoughts felt chaotic and scattered, she helped me filter them and focus in a way that felt safe and manageable. She met me exactly where I was, every single time and because of that, I’ve been able to overcome some of the hardest battles I’ve ever faced. I’m deeply grateful for her care, patience, and the way she always held space for both my faith and my healing."
