Fatima Bint Saeed

Fatima Bint Saeed is a psychotherapist, counsellor, and CBT/REBT therapist at Nightingale Hospital. She supports individuals facing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, panic attacks, mood disorders, phobias, stress, and self-harm. Her experience also extends to working with individuals affected by eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, BED, and OSFED, as well as those living with dual diagnosis, addiction, sleep disorders, and interpersonal difficulties. Fatima takes an integrative approach that is grounded in compassion, mindfulness, and evidence-based practice. She incorporates a variety of therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, assertiveness training, CBT-E, and solution-focused therapy. Each treatment plan is developed collaboratively with the client to reflect their individual needs and goals. She offers both short-term, focused interventions and longer-term therapy, depending on what best supports the client’s progress. At Nightingale Hospital, Fatima provides therapy to adults from diverse backgrounds and faiths. She has a particular interest in working with Muslim clients, offering an Islamic outlook and understanding that complements evidence-based interventions. Fatima is fluent in English, Gujarati, Hindi, and Urdu, which enables her to offer therapy that is both culturally and linguistically sensitive. Her goal is to guide individuals through their challenges with empathy, support, and practical tools that help restore balance and wellbeing in daily life. Alongside her clinical work at Nightingale Hospital, Fatima also works part-time as a Transformational CBT Therapist at Peaceful Wellbeing-a platform offering tailored therapy and workshops to professionals in London and worldwide. In this role, she provides one-to-one therapy for working professionals, therapeutic support for Muslim clients grounded in faith, and corporate wellbeing workshops focused on stress reduction, resilience, and mental health education. Her work at Peaceful Wellbeing is dedicated to empowering individuals and organisations to achieve emotional clarity, healthier relationships, and sustainable work-life balance. Fatima has worked in several respected clinical and community-based services, including The Priory, Croydon Health Services NHS Trust, King Square Counselling, and Sakoon Islamic Counselling Services. She is an accredited member of the National Counselling Society (NCS) and holds a Diploma, an Advanced Diploma, and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative CBT/REBT from the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. She has also studied at Regent’s University London.
