Definition

Deriving from the Arabic word ‘Hasan’ (beautiful), Ihsaan has the sense of acting in the most perfect of ways to bring beauty to the outward actions and inner hearts of people.

Reason for name

Ihsaan describes how we aspire to work as an organisation and our aim of helping clients experience their full human potential, inwardly and outwardly.

Ihsaan Therapeutic Services CIC is a community psychology service providing specialised psychological therapies to individuals and couples through life’s challenges with compassionate, faith- sensitive and clinically informed care.

We understand that accessing mental health support can feel overwhelming, especially when cultural, spiritual or personal values are not always understood in traditional services. Ihsaan was created to bridge this gap.

Ihsaan aims to: 

  • Support you in providing psychological therapy and counselling services that are congruent with the languages, the religious and spiritual beliefs of our diverse communities
  • Link with GPs and other services to provide a holistic and integrated service
  • Be accessible and affordable
  • Provide training in Islamic Psychology and Islamically appropriate therapies
  • Promote psychological and spiritual well-being in the community

Ihsaan is not funded by the NHS or grant awarded bodies. Thus, we charge fees for our services, aiming to continue providing support whilst keeping our services as affordable and accessible as possible.
