-Sarif Alrai

Focus and Approach

Sarif Alrai is a Counsellor and UK-trained Educational Psychologist (EP) with a career nearly a decade. He currently practices in multiple jurisdictions using a variety of techniques and tools. His focus on evidence-based interventions and therapeutic relationships led him to further refine his skills through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Islamic Psychology, as well as other therapeutic modalities. This unique perspective allows him to integrate the metaphysical aspects of Islamic knowledge into his practice, fostering a deeper connection with clients, both Muslim and of other

faith backgrounds. He has extensive experience developing and delivering training across a wide range of mental health topics, including anxiety, depression, and trauma – especially through the lens of faith. Sarif’s expertise bridges cultural divides, offering a unique perspective in mental health support. His dedication to empowerment and holistic well-being places him in good stead to continue to support those in need.

“The practitioner-client relationship is one of the most important aspects of the therapeutic process. I view this as a sacred trust between myself and those whom I support.”.

With a unique blend of scientific knowledge and a culturally informed therapeutic approach, Zulkayda provides online counselling for individual and group guiding them on their healing journeys with empathy and understanding. She speaks English, French, Turkish, Chinese (Mandarin), Arabic & Uyghur.

The initial sessions will focus on your hopes and aspirations; what you would like to achieve through the therapeutic process. You’ll work together with Sarif Alrai to build a plan to help you with your goals.
