Expertise

🔹 Islamic-integrative counselling

My research examines how Reality Therapy and Tazkiyah al-Nafs can be brought together in a structured counselling approach. This includes questions of conceptual fit, practical delivery and appropriate evaluation.

🔹 Self-compassion and ihsan kendiri

I study self-compassion in relation to Islamic understandings of mercy, responsibility and spiritual awareness. My interest is in developing careful, culturally meaningful explanations and interventions rather than assuming that one concept translates perfectly across traditions.  

🔹 Adolescent and community mental health 

My counselling and educational work includes adolescents, families, healthcare personnel and community groups. I develop talks and learning activities that explain mental health concerns in language suited to each audience.

🔹 Counselling skills and communication 

I am interested in helping learners connect foundational counselling concepts with listening, questioning, ethical judgement and reflective practice.

🔹 Single-case research in counselling 

My doctoral work used a single-subject approach to examine change during an intervention. I remain interested in methods that can document individual patterns of change while making their limitations clear.

🔹 Digital psychoeducation

I develop accessible mental health resources through Dar e-Hikmah, including educational material and tools for reflection. These resources support learning and do not replace individual assessment or professional care.
