Teaching & Engagement

🔹 Teaching

I teach Islamic Studies and Arabic Language at diploma level and contribute to postgraduate counselling education through simulated counselling sessions and experiential learning activities. My teaching integrates theoretical foundations with applied practice, enabling learners to translate knowledge into professional competence within real-world contexts.

I emphasise reflective learning, ethical decision-making, and culturally responsive practice, drawing on counselling psychology principles and Islamic perspectives to support the development of clinically competent and socially responsible practitioners.

🔹 Mentorship & Supervision 

I provide mentorship and supervision to trainee counsellors and postgraduate students, supporting their professional and academic development through reflective, spiritually grounded guidance. My mentorship approach encourages critical thinking, self-awareness, and ethical responsibility, while fostering resilience and professional identity formation within counselling practice.

This work includes supervision during clinical placements, research mentoring and structured guidance in counselling simulations and applied settings.

🔹 Conference & Scholarly Engagement

I actively present research on Islamic-integrative counselling, self-compassion, and psychospiritual interventions at national and international conferences. These engagements contribute to scholarly discourse, disseminate applied research findings and promote culturally responsive counselling frameworks to academic and professional audiences.

🔹 Community Engagement & Knowledge Transfer

I lead talks, workshops and youth-focused programmes across schools, non-governmental organisations and government agencies. This work focuses on mental-health literacy, emotional regulation, adolescent well-being and psycho-spiritual resilience.

Through structured community engagement, I translate research-informed counselling knowledge into accessible educational initiatives, supporting national mental-health promotion efforts and strengthening community capacity for early intervention and psychological well-being.
