If you are being referred through the NHS, you can request a Muslim counsellor or therapist. Many NHS trusts are increasingly aware of the need for culturally and religiously sensitive care, and they strive to accommodate such requests when possible.

In addition to the NHS, several organisations and online platforms specialise in connecting individuals with Muslim mental health professionals.
These services understand the importance of faith in the healing process and provide therapy that respects and incorporates Islamic principles.
Some well-known resources include:
1. Muslim Youth Helpline: Provides free and confidential support for young Muslims.
2. Inspirited Minds: Offers faith-based mental health support and counselling.
3. Ruh Care: A platform dedicated to connecting individuals with Muslim therapists.
4. Muslim Counsellor and Psychotherapist Network (MCAPN): Provides a directory of qualified Muslim mental health professionals across the UK.
Many private therapists and counsellors who identify as Muslim are available and can be found through online directories and professional networks.
Seeking help for mental health issues is a crucial step, and finding a therapist who understands and respects your religious background can make a significant difference in your healing journey.
Remember, taking care of your mental health is an important aspect of your overall well-being, and accessing culturally and religiously appropriate support is now more accessible than ever.
