WHY IS ISLAMIC THERAPY SO EXPENSIVE???
As a counsellor you get confronted with questions like that on a regular basis - it’s the kind of question that keeps you up at night. You become a counsellor to help people but who are you truly helping? During training they tell you “Enough people with money have problems to afford your service” but aren’t we missing the point?
One could try to argue that therapy isn’t expensive it’s just not affordable to many, but the result is the same: people who need help can’t get it.
So on a seemingly random, cold and classically rainy London Friday afternoon, whilst working on my 1:1 counselling business, lillahicounselling.com, Allah allows me to have a ground breaking AHA! moment.
A moment that could transform & save hundreds of lives.
So, I do what any responsible young adult would do, I call my mother [aka my best friend].
Within 24 hours I had come up with a business name, a logo, and a website design. But being a business owner with a budget equivalent to the worth of a Tesco meal deal, requires a lot more than that. All of the sudden you have to turn into a marketing expert, videographer, voice over artist, scenarist, video editor, social media & SEO specialist, brand strategist, web designer, outreach specialist and apparently also a copy writer whilst not neglecting your full time job, studies & interpersonal relationships.
But the vision of being able to make counselling more affordable to as many people as possible kept me up at night for all the right reasons. So, if you’re reading this - welcome! You could be part of something great. Wether by benefitting from our low cost Islamic Group Therapy or by supporting us behind the scenes.
I pray that Allah guides & protects whoever reads this & that he grants you blessings from doors you never dared to believe were possible - Ameen!
This is only the beginning of what I believe to be the revolution of how we heal from & navigate this Dunya,
With Allah & For Allah
May Allah correct our intentions, grant us success and allow us to benefit as many people as possible
أمين
