About Arabic Therapists UK
Making mental health support accessible to Arabic speakers across the UK
Welcome to Arabic Therapists UK
Arabic Therapists UK is a comprehensive directory dedicated to connecting Arabic speakers across the United Kingdom with qualified, verified therapists and counsellors who understand both their language and cultural background.
We believe that everyone deserves access to mental health support that feels safe, relatable, and professional—whether you prefer online therapy sessions or in-person counselling services.
What Makes Arabic Therapists UK Different
Arabic Therapists UK was created to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive directory of qualified mental health professionals who either speak Arabic fluently or have deep understanding of Arab cultural contexts. Our platform makes it easy to:
- Find therapists who offer sessions in Arabic or English
- Connect with professionals who understand cultural sensitivities
- Choose between online therapy and in-person counselling
- Access verified, qualified therapists with UK-recognised credentials
- Filter by location, specialisation, and language proficiency
Every therapist in our directory is carefully verified to ensure they meet professional standards and are committed to providing culturally-sensitive, high-quality mental health support.
Meet Our Founder
Nour El Masry, MSc, UKCP Accredited
Founder and Director of Arabic Therapists UK
Arabic Therapists UK was created by Nour El Masry, a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy. Nour's journey into psychotherapy began with her own transformative experience of therapy, which inspired her to help others navigate their challenges and personal growth.
Originally from Egypt and living in the UK since 2010, Nour has deep experience working with clients facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Experiencing life in two cultures has given her unique insight into the barriers faced by the Arab community when seeking mental health support.
Recognizing how difficult it can be to find therapists who both speak Arabic and understand Arab cultural contexts, Nour created this directory to make it easier for Arabic speakers to access quality mental health support. Her vision is to reduce stigma around mental health and make culturally-sensitive support more accessible to the Arab community.
Our Mission
Arabic Therapists UK exists to make therapy more accessible for the Arab community in the UK and worldwide. We are committed to breaking down language and cultural barriers so that Arabic speakers can access quality mental health support from verified professionals who understand their background.
Our mission is simple: To connect qualified, Arabic-speaking therapists with individuals seeking support that feels safe, relatable, and professional—whether online or in person.
Our Core Values

Breaking down language and cultural barriers so everyone can find the mental health support they need.

All therapists listed hold UK-recognised qualifications and verified credentials.

Who We Serve
Arabic Therapists UK serves Arabic speakers in the UK and worldwide who want to work with therapists holding UK qualifications. This is a dedicated space where clients can connect with mental health professionals who speak their language or deeply understand Arab culture.
We recognise that the Arab community is diverse, and language needs vary significantly. Many of our listed therapists are fluent Arabic speakers providing therapy entirely in Arabic. Others come from Arab families or backgrounds and bring deep cultural understanding, though they may work primarily in English.
Each therapist profile clearly states their Arabic fluency level and specialisations, so you can choose the support that feels right for your needs. Whether you're looking for a bilingual therapist or someone with cultural expertise, you'll find detailed information to help you make the best choice.
Our directory includes verified professionals offering both online therapy and in-person counselling services across the United Kingdom. All therapists are screened to ensure they meet professional standards and are committed to providing culturally-sensitive mental health support.
Looking Ahead
Arabic Therapists UK is more than a directory—it's a growing platform for mental health awareness and support within the Arab community. We are committed to expanding our services and resources to better serve Arabic speakers seeking quality mental health care.
In the future, we aim to:
- Publish educational articles and resources about mental health topics relevant to the Arab community
- Expand our network of qualified Arabic-speaking therapists and counsellors
- Reduce stigma around mental health conversations within Arab families and communities
- Develop additional resources to support both clients and therapists
- Foster a stronger, more informed, and compassionate community around mental health support
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support in their own language. Thank you for visiting Arabic Therapists UK.
