Our Services.
Counselling
At Shifa Services we use a client-centered approach which allows us to support individuals, couples and families in developing and achieving their treatment goals. We use a variety of therapeutic modalities including elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, narrative therapy and brief solution-focused therapy. This allows us to be flexible and provide support that is tailored to meet your needs, instead of a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.
In our work with individuals, we can help to address a range of issues including: bullying, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harming behaviours and suicidality.
In our work with couples and families, we can provide support regarding: domestic conflict, religious or spiritual disagreements, parenting concerns, parent-teen and inter-generational conflict, and coping with migration and cultural challenges.
If you’re not sure what the best fit would be for you or your family, complete the contact form and we will reach out to you! We are happy to provide an initial consultation over the phone to discuss what services would be most appropriate for you.

Therapeutic Workshops
We understand that counselling can be a bit intimidating and even anxiety-provoking at first! This is why we’ve designed a range of Therapeutic Workshops which offer a chance to learn more about a given topic, alongside other people who are having similar experiences.
At Shifa Services, our workshops follow a psycho-educational and skills development format, meaning they are meant to explore aspects of your experiences and teach you new coping skills in a group setting.
Topics include:
“Happily Ever After” - A Pre-Marital Workshop
"Mental Health & Islam" - A Family Workshop
“My Parents Just Don’t Get It!” - A Workshop for Muslim Youth
Workshops will run based on interest and enrollment.
