Tarek Malouf

Hello, I’m Tarek — a qualified Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and trainee Psychotherapist based in London. I offer a warm, inclusive, and non-judgemental space to explore whatever feels overwhelming, from anxiety, fear, or sadness to grief, shame, anger, or numbness.

My approach is relational and collaborative, meaning the therapeutic relationship between us is central to the process. Together, we’ll create a supportive environment where feelings, thoughts, and patterns can be explored with empathy, honesty, and curiosity.

Rooted in a Humanistic framework, I draw on Gestalt to heighten awareness, Transactional Analysis to understand relational patterns, and Person-Centred therapy to support your innate capacity for growth and self-understanding. Rather than viewing you as a set of symptoms, I aim to meet you as a whole person, with respect for your individuality, autonomy, and lived experience.

Clients often come to me with anxiety, low mood, loss of confidence, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a general sense of feeling stuck. You don’t need to know exactly what you want from therapy to begin — sometimes the first step is simply recognising that something doesn’t feel right. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been overlooked or silenced.

I have experience working with people from all walks of life and particular expertise supporting LGBTQ+ clients, people from marginalised communities, and survivors of war or sexual assault. I understand how experiences of exclusion, shame, and trauma can shape how we relate to ourselves and others, and I work with warmth, sensitivity, and respect to help you feel seen and supported.

I offer a free 15-minute call for us to meet and discuss what brings you to therapy, how I work, and any questions you may have. If you’d like to take things further, we can arrange an introductory session at my standard rate (£65 per 50-minute session) to experience working together. Ongoing weekly sessions are also £65.
