About
Ghada Akkad is a registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, motivation, self-esteem and confidence issues, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Ghada approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already has strengths to draw on when facing challenges. She recognises that reaching out for support takes courage and offers steady, empathic guidance throughout that process.
Her manner is intended to be approachable rather than intimidating - she listens, stays present, and uses creativity to keep sessions engaging while helping clients develop practical, long-term tools. Ghada is trained in Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Cognitive, CBT, and Behavioural therapy and selects the approach she judges to be best suited to each individual. In sessions she aims to be genuine, to share moments of levity when appropriate, and to work through whatever a client needs.
