Islamic Therapy Counseling: Specialized Therapy for Muslims

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatuLlahi wa barakatuhu

My name is Naielah. I am a down-to-earth, practical, and non-judgmental therapist and counselor.

Clients often describe their sessions with me as positive, comforting, and transformative.

I take a holistic approach by integrating Islamic spirituality into my work, catering to the mind–body–soul connection.

I listen with both compassion and insight, while also helping you uncover meaningful solutions to your challenges.

My goal is to support you through your life and relationship journey with care and guidance.

My work involves cultivating peace of mind and creating a balanced, purposeful life.

I have over 10 years of counseling experience, specializing in relationships. I help individuals work through resentment toward parents, family members, ex-spouses, and friends.

I use my training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support clients with anxiety, low mood, perfectionism, and self-esteem issues.

My wide range of experience allows me to offer the best therapy experience for you.

I am also an Islamic studies teacher. Raised in America, I studied abroad in Syria and Jordan for over 20 years. I love helping my clients become closer to Allah Most High and practicing the sunna of the beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Through my online sessions, I have worked with thousands of clients from all over the world (USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia, Africa, & the Middle East). 

Life can feel heavy at times, but change is always possible. If you’re looking for support, I’d love to meet you and see how we can work together toward the life you truly want.

Islamic Therapy Counseling: Specialized Therapy for Muslims

Naielah Ackbarali is the founder and CEO of Muslima Coaching. 

Naielah is a qualified CBT therapist, an experienced Muslim marriage counselor of over 10 years, and an Islamic studies teacher for over 15 years.

She has helped hundreds of women and couples with almost a decade of coaching experience with clients from all over the world (USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia, Africa, & the Middle East). 

She is an author of several marriage books and has been featured on the Islam Channel and British Muslim TV. She was also selected to do an exclusive interview with BRAINZ Magazine.

View her full biography and training qualifications at our ABOUT page.

We believe that a successful Muslim marriage is based upon the teachings of Allah Most High and His Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace). The best examples can be seen within the marriages between the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and his wives (Allah be pleased with them).

We realize from their stories that a successful Muslim marriage is built and sustained through showing love, compassion, consideration, respect, appreciation, gratitude, patience, and sacrifice towards each other.

Furthermore, a successful Muslim couple can identify and empathize with each other’s needs, boundaries, and vulnerabilities. At the heart of it, the two are best friends.

Based on our coaching and personal experiences, Muslima Coaching created a practical framework for evaluating a couple’s relationship, known as the Successful Muslim Couples Paradigm™.

We’ve deduced that successful Muslim couples are often excelling in love because they’ve established a powerful:

  • Heart Connection
  • Emotional Connection
  • Physical Connection
  • Spiritual Connection

These connections usually do not happen by chance, but rather, they are created and maintained through everyday choice.

Is your marriage struggling in any of these areas? It is okay if you feel stuck and do not know which steps to take!

Often enough, there is a need for someone to actively guide a couple on how to put these principles into practice and make the best choices for their relationship. What many people do not realize is that even the most successful couples seek advice from a third party!

Our couples coaching focuses on developing and strengthening these key areas. Our coaching is solution-based. It is more than talking about feelings and disagreements, but it’s about learning how to live with each other in a way that is pleasing to Allah Most High.

There’s no need to wonder anymore why your marriage is so different from everyone else’s relationship. We help you understand what successful Muslim couples do to make their marriages thrive and how you can do the same inshaAllah.

Sessions are conducted in a comfortable, friendly environment. Clients are encouraged to be open and honest about their situation and feelings.

During each session, the coach will focus on understanding the dynamic of the clients’ relationship, particularly in the areas of emotional safety/support, communication, and conflict resolution.

Through the coach’s questions and analysis, clients will begin to gain greater clarity about their marital situation.

Exercises may be given within the session to help the couples consolidate their understanding and strengthen their bond.

The coach then gives the clients practical homework to work upon during the week and the follow-up sessions are tailored around the needs of the clients that arise through practicing the homework inshaAllah.

We try to help whoever we can, but we do not deal with every type of problem. Our coaching is not suitable for clients who experience physical abuse, substance abuse, or infidelity. We also do not coach clients who have a medically diagnosed psychological disorder or personality disorder. We only coach Muslims.

"I can confidently say this was one of my best coaching experiences I've had. I felt like this session came with a tailor-fit, guided action plan for us. This made the session feel a lot more personal to our circumstances and it didn't feel like we got generic advice that would apply to all couples."

“I had just accepted that my marriage was the way it was, and there was nothing I could do about it, so I forced myself to be happy and live with it. Now I know there are a list of things I can improve on to get a better marriage! And I feel like I have hope now, alhamdulillah.”
