Ateeba Dickens

Hello, my name is Ateeba, and I am a newly qualified person-centred counsellor.

From a young age, I have always wanted to support and help others, so becoming a counsellor has been a deeply meaningful journey for me.

I believe counselling is about walking alongside someone while offering a safe, warm, and non-judgemental space where you can feel truly heard, accepted, and understood.

As a person-centred counsellor, I believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to support you in exploring your feelings and experiences at your own pace, with empathy, compassion, and unconditional positive regard.

I value diversity and recognise that our cultures, identities, backgrounds, and life experiences are not only different but can shape who we are.

I aim to create an inclusive space where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self, without judgement or assumptions.

I am also beginning further training in trauma, which will allow me to continue developing my understanding and skills in supporting people who have experienced difficult or overwhelming experiences.

Above all, I offer a space where you feel safe to be yourself, explore what you are going through, and find your own path towards greater clarity and wellbeing.
