Meet Summaiya


I’m an accredited counsellor, certified parent coach, and an educator with years of experience working closely with children in primary education.

My work blends lived experience, counselling training, parent coaching, and Islamic wisdom to support both:

  • individuals seeking counselling, emotional healing, and clarity
  • parents wanting calmer, more conscious ways of raising their children

Alongside my therapeutic and coaching work, my background in education and my own parenting experience has given me deep, practical insight into children’s emotional worlds – how behaviour shows up, how needs are expressed, and how safety, presence, and connection shape development over time.

My approach is grounded in relational understanding, self-awareness, and presence. I don’t believe in quick fixes or techniques that bypass the emotional world of the adult. When the parent – or individual – softens, regulates, and reconnects with themselves, meaningful change follows naturally.

Everything I offer is rooted in faith, compassion, and responsibility – supporting growth that is honest, sustainable, and deeply human.


Why I Do This Work

I know what it’s like to look in the mirror and not recognise yourself.

To feel so exhausted, emotionally depleted, and overwhelmed that you can’t show up in the way you thought you would – as a mother, a partner, or a person.

I also know that healing is possible.

I believe deeply that a regulated, supported parent – or adult – changes everything.
Good parenting and emotional health are the foundation of life.
We have more power than we often realise – and we don’t have to do this alone.


Children are not problems to solve.
They are trusts (amanah) to be guided with presence, patience, and wisdom.

When You Work With Me

When you work with me, you’re supported by both a counsellor and a parent coach.

This means:

emotional depth without overwhelm

insight without judgement

support that honours faith, nervous system needs, and real life

This dual lens allows for deeper, more sustainable change.
