About Fadeela

Fadeela Abdelmawla is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers a calm, creative space for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. She listens for what matters to each person and supports them to find clearer direction and hope.

Fadeela uses a humanistic, person-centred framework. She blends different approaches to suit each person rather than following a single script.

02

How Fadeela works

Her style often includes metaphor, guided imagery and active imagination when words alone do not capture what someone needs to say. She helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life transitions. Her practice also covers attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues and separation after divorce.

Panic and post-traumatic stress are noted areas of focus as well. Sessions are collaborative and aim to build self-compassion and practical coping skills. Fadeela encourages gentle exploration alongside deeper work to find the roots of painful thoughts and feelings.

She often draws on cognitive behavioural tools, trauma-sensitive mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, compassion-focused strategies and emotion-focused techniques to support change. People who prefer a creative, reflective approach may find her style a good match. She works with each person to shape sessions around their pace, goals and preferences, helping them move from feeling stuck to clearer choices and more self-understanding.

How different therapeutic approaches work online

Fadeela often uses person-centred and humanistic practices that focus on listening and helping people find their own answers. These approaches encourage self-compassion and personal growth by building a respectful, collaborative relationship and exploring what matters most to the individual.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes in everyday life. This can be useful for managing anxiety, panic and difficulties that get in the way of day-to-day functioning. Trauma-sensitive mindfulness is another strand she uses to support grounding and regulation when past experiences cause strong reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exploration, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring duties or busy days while keeping continuity of care.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
