Many therapists tell us that working with couples can feel unpredictable - especially when emotions rise and sessions feel hard to hold.

This 2-day CPD in Couple Counselling is designed to support you with clear structure, practical tools, and grounded strategies so you’re not left guessing in moments of conflict.

We’ll explore how to stay regulated as a practitioner, support safer conversations, and help couples move out of stuck patterns - skills you can take straight into your clinical work.

If you’re a trainee counsellor, qualified therapist, or coach wanting more confidence and clarity when working with couples, this training may be for you.

The workshop begins in just 2 days!

As therapists serving the Muslim community, we often find ourselves at a unique crossroads. It’s a place where our professional training meets our deeply held values.

While these two worlds often harmonize to support healing, we can’t ignore the moments of tension.

Whether it’s navigating family dynamics or maintaining neutrality while honoring faith, these challenges are actually invitations for deeper clinical discernment.

We’re hosting a space to explore these nuances with clarity and integrity. Join us to refine your practice at this vital intersection.

Are you a therapist who’s ever wondered, “Am I doing this right when faith comes into the room?”

Many Muslim clients don’t separate their inner world from their faith. It’s woven into how they cope, how they make sense of pain, and how they relate to others.

At Sakoon, we don’t see faith as something to fix or to rely on as a shortcut. We see it as part of the system - something to be held with curiosity, care, and solid clinical grounding.

This is the work we’re inviting you into: thoughtful, ethical, evidence-based - and deeply human.

If you’re ready to feel more confident navigating this space, our CPD workshop is open.

Some of us grew up in homes where love was mixed with pressure, guilt, or emotional obligations.

And when that becomes familiar, it can be hard to recognize when care starts crossing into control.

As adults, we find ourselves questioning our feelings, doubting our boundaries, and wondering if wanting emotional safety makes us “ungrateful.”

If this feels close to home, you’re not alone.

Your experiences deserve to be named, understood, and held with compassion.

At Sakoon Islamic Counselling, we help clients explore these patterns gently - honouring both their emotional reality and their faith - so they can rebuild a healthier understanding of love.

Take a quiet moment and ask yourself:
What forms of “love” left me feeling confused, guilty, or diminished?

Awareness is the first step toward healing, and Allah is near to those who turn to Him with sincerity.

If you raised yourself, this is for you.

Your parent was there physically.

But emotionally? You were on your own.

You grew up too fast and became responsible for things no child should carry.

Now you're realizing why trust feels hard.

Watch the full reel to understand what parentification really is - and why it's still affecting you today.

At Sakoon Islamic Counselling, we help you heal from the childhood you had to survive.

You deserved better then. You deserve healing now.

When difficult behavior shows up, look for the hidden message 🤍

Our beloved Prophet ﷺ taught us to look beyond the surface - to seek understanding before reacting.

"The strong person is not the one who can overpower others, but the one who controls themselves when angry."

When your teen's behavior challenges you, remember:
Allah knows what hearts conceal - and sometimes our children don't have words for what they're feeling

What looks like defiance might be a dua they can't articulate. What sounds like disrespect could be a silent struggle with sabr.

At Sakoon Islamic Counselling, we help families bridge this gap - honouring both Islamic values and the emotional reality of being a teen today.

Healing doesn’t always mean getting advice or being told what to do.

Sometimes, it begins when someone truly listens - without judgment, without rushing to change you.

At Sakoon Islamic Counselling, we’re not here to fix you.

We’re here to walk with you - to hold space for your story, your emotions, your faith, and the journey that brought you here.

Together, we explore what’s beneath the pain and the patterns, and how to find peace in a way that honors your connection with Allah.

It’s not about being told what a “good Muslim” should do - it’s about rediscovering who you are, with compassion and understanding.

For the ones who hold space for others - the counsellors, therapists, and for everyon working in helping field.

You sit with stories that stay unspoken.

You carry emotions that aren’t yours.

You show up with presence and care, even when your own heart feels heavy.

This is your reminder that you, too, are human.

You, too, deserve to pause, to rest, to be seen - not for what you do, but simply for who you are.

Before you step into another space of holding for others, breathe for you.

Check in with your heart.

And let gentleness find you today.

From all of us at Sakoon Islamic Counselling,
may the ones who hold space, feel held too 🤍

If your organisation would benefit from consultations, training, or supervision to support your team's growth and well-being, we'd love to hear from you - feel free to reach out or message us directly.

Each heart meets grief in its own way - sometimes through silence, sometimes through prayer.

What matters isn’t how quickly we heal, but how gently we allow ourselves to.

In many Western approaches, healing often means moving forward - learning to live beyond the pain. But in the Islamic way, healing also means turning inward - bringing the ache to Allah, finding meaning in remembrance, and allowing faith to soften what still hurts.

There’s a quiet strength in acknowledging what hurts while staying anchored in faith. Healing isn’t linear; it unfolds between sabr and surrender - in the moments we trust that Allah is near, even when the ache still lingers.

Sometimes we confuse patience with silence.

We think if we show sadness or cry too much, it means our faith has slipped. But the truth is - faith and feeling can coexist. You can grieve deeply and still trust Allah completely.

Real patience isn’t pretending you’re okay. It’s turning toward Allah with your pain, not away from it. It’s allowing your tears to fall, knowing they’re seen, held, and understood.

If you’ve been holding it all in, maybe today is the day to let yourself feel again - softly, sincerely, with Him. 🤍

Supporting a partner who struggles with anxiety isn’t easy. You want to be a source of calm and comfort, yet sometimes it can feel like you’re carrying too much.

In moments like these, it helps to remember: compassion and boundaries can coexist. You can listen deeply without fixing, love sincerely without losing yourself, and offer care without taking on every burden.

The Prophet ﷺ showed us that true presence - listening with your heart - is one of the greatest gifts we can give.

Take a breath. Offer du’a together. And remind one another that healing is something you walk towards - side by side, not alone. 🤍

It’s natural for our hearts to ache when we see suffering around the world. That compassion is a sign of faith. But sometimes, being constantly exposed to heavy news can leave us overwhelmed, anxious, and even disconnected from our own lives.

If you’ve been feeling this way, you’re not alone. We'll share with you 3 ways to care without burning out.

You don’t need to carry it all on your shoulders. Islam teaches us to hold compassion with balance - and at Sakoon, we’re here to remind you that protecting your well-being is part of living your faith.
