AlHaqiqa Counselling & Psychotherapy provides a warm, confidential, and supportive space for individuals, couples, and families to explore emotional, psychological, and relational challenges. Based in Didcot, Oxfordshire, we offer in-person therapy as well as online sessions across the UK.

The practice is led by Gulsan Abubakar Karbani, a PNCPS Accredited therapist with over 40 years of professional experience, including 35 years within the NHS as a Principal Genetic Counsellor. This background brings a strong foundation of clinical expertise, empathy, and compassionate, person-centred care.

We support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, emotional distress, and life transitions. Our approach is integrative and tailored to each individual, drawing on CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy.

We also work with clients from diverse and multicultural backgrounds and offer multilingual therapy in English, Urdu, Arabic, Gujarati, Hindi, and Punjabi. Therapy is collaborative, respectful, and paced according to each client’s needs.
