About Meriem Gawi

Meet Meriem, a BACP-registered counsellor based in North London who offers therapy in both Arabic and English. She works with adults and children, supporting refugees, asylum seekers, and survivors of trauma and abuse in a safe, confidential, and culturally sensitive space where individuals can explore their feelings, experiences, and life challenges with dignity and respect.

Meriem’s work is deeply informed by her commitment to cultural understanding and social justice. She has extensive experience supporting Arab communities, particularly individuals affected by forced migration, trauma, violence, and displacement. Her practice honours cultural identity, language, and lived experience, creating an environment where clients feel seen, understood, and valued.

Her therapeutic approach is humanistic and integrative, drawing on trauma-informed, relational, and creative methods tailored to each person’s unique needs. Meriem supports clients in making sense of their experiences, developing coping strategies, and reconnecting with resilience, hope, and inner strength.

Meriem currently works with organisations such as Barnardo’s, Nightingale Hospital, and Hestia, supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, and the psychological impact of forced migration. She has previously worked with Women’s Trust and Al-Aman (DVIP), providing counselling to Arab women survivors of domestic abuse. She has also contributed to the development of professional resources on culturally specific abuse and delivered wellbeing workshops and group sessions in Arabic to reduce isolation and promote community healing.

Above all, Meriem is committed to offering a warm, respectful, and empowering therapeutic space. She walks alongside clients with compassion and care, supporting them on their journey toward healing, growth, and renewed hope.
