Better Value, Without Compromising on Care

Counselling That Respects Your Faith
If your faith matters to you, tell us at the start. Counselling here is professional, evidence-based therapy that respects a Muslim's values and does not ask you to set faith aside. We do not issue religious rulings; for questions of fiqh, please consult a qualified scholar. Many people find it helpful to read is therapy allowed in Islam.
Online, So No Travelling Across London
Ilford has a large South Asian and Muslim community, and many people there prefer a therapist who already understands home life. Sessions are by secure video from your own home, so you do not have to travel into central London or fit around a clinic's opening hours. We are based in Islamabad and do not have an office in Ilford; this is an online service.
What We Help With
Anxiety and low mood, stress and burnout, relationship and marriage problems, family and in-law conflict, grief, trauma, identity and belonging, loneliness, and the pressure between family expectations and life in London.
Marriage and Family Counselling
Couples and families in Ilford can work with us online on conflict, trust, communication and the pressure of living between two cultures. Read about Muslim and Pakistani marriage counselling in the UK.
Checking Registration
You can check Mr. Anjum's registration on the HCPC register at hcpc-uk.org. Ask us for his registration details and we will send them.
Time Zones, Fees and Booking
Pakistan is 5 hours ahead of the UK in winter and 4 hours ahead in summer. Tell us the times that suit you and we will confirm an available slot. Fees are set in Pakistani Rupees. Book a session or message us on WhatsApp; we usually reply within about 30 minutes.

“I am truly grateful to Ms. Tasmiya Asghar and the team at Meeting Matters. I reached out during one of the most difficult periods of my life while dealing with grief and trying to be the best parent I could be for my children. Ms. Tasmiya's kindness, empathy, and guidance helped me navigate emotions that often felt overwhelming. She helped me understand my feelings, regain perspective, and think through practical ways of supporting my children and myself. I always felt respected, heard, and comfortable during our sessions. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Tasmiya Asghar and Meeting Matters to anyone going through a challenging time and looking for professional support in a compassionate environment.”
