Practitioners

who we are

A collective of healers, facilitators, and artists

At the heart of Majlis is a commitment to healing, rooted in the transformative power of therapy, counselling, and art. As the lead practitioner, I offer a space where therapy is not just about individual healing but about connecting with the collective. Guided by compassion, curiosity, and creativity, we honour the lived experiences of bodies and spirits who have been marginalised, silenced, or displaced.

While therapy forms the core of Majlis, our work extends beyond traditional (western) means. We collaborate with trusted partners in the community to facilitate writing workshops, mindfulness practices, sound and voice expression, and more. Together, we create a space that encourages not only personal healing but a collective resurgence of creativity, mindfulness, and cultural restoration.

At Majlis, the work is always evolving, shaped by the needs of those who walk through the door and the relationships we cultivate. We’re here to sit, to listen, to heal, and to imagine — together.

Roah ; رؤى

Roah is a Palestinian artist, art psychotherapist, and counsellor in London focused on collective liberation. Their therapeutic practice is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and imagination, supporting individuals and communities in creating wholeness. Through creative expression and connection, they facilitate pathways for restorative processing of trauma and transformation.

With international experience in art therapy in both community-based and medical settings, Roah has collaborated with grassroots organisations and movements, worked on inpatient units, guided museum art workshops, educated students in art-making, and lectured on the cultural dimensions of art therapy. They address a wide range of matters, including:

  • continuous trauma, intergenerational trauma, collective trauma, PTSD

  • gender, cultural, spiritual, and identity exploration

  • complicated grief, bereavement, end of life care

  • depression, anxiety, stress release and reduction

Offerings: One-to-one and group therapy sessions, community collaborations, and work with organisations, teams, and movements.

Roah’s art practice explores the thresholds of land and bodies in movement, examining their interactions with memory, borders, and the metaphysical spaces in between. In disrupting colonial paradigms, they relocate what has been forcibly displaced — transforming imposed shrouds into resistance, healing, and liberation.

ABDUL.

ABDUL. is a poet and musician, bending genres to reflect on his positionality, identity and the intergenerational impact of historic and current practices on community and body. His work moves in and out of the self, weaving through and between dystopian landscape and the human experience.

Through his creative writing, poetry, and rap workshops, ABDUL.’s offerings at Majlis explore expression/experience and internal/external processing, using storytelling and voice as powerful tools for autonomy and liberation.
