About me

Hi, I’m Nardine Khalil (she/her)

Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and Dramatherapist

I set up my practice to reach out to individuals who struggle to feel at home within themselves, or within their communities. I aim to offer a connected and non-judgemental space to explore your inner life, and to approach with care the experiences that may leave you feeling alienated from the world around you. My hope is that this work helps you find your ‘diyar’ ديار‍ ‍your place of belonging, your homeland, your dwelling place, in every sense of the word.

A central focus of my practice is identity and belonging—how we come to understand ourselves through the influence of race, culture, religion, politics, language, and sexuality, and how these experiences can shape our sense of self, sometimes leaving us feeling disconnected.

Alongside my private practice, I have worked in the NHS, schools, and refugee services, experiences that have shaped my understanding of the many ways people navigate emotional challenges. My work has included supporting individuals affected by war, displacement, and trauma, always with a trauma-informed approach. I also work with the emotional complexities of parenting, particularly where these intersect with cultural expectations, migration, and the experience of raising children across different worlds and ways of life.

My in-person therapy work is based in North London.
