About Us
My name is Musarat Rashid I am a highly experienced and qualified counsellor, who has dedicated her career to helping individuals and families affected by domestic abuse.
Over the past 23 years, I have worked in various capacities in the domestic abuse field, including as an Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) and as a Caring Dads lead for local authorities and voluntary organizations.
In addition to my extensive work in the domestic abuse field, I also deliver training for family violence and other specialised programs related to domestic abuse.
I have worked as a safeguarding lead in schools, helping to promote safe and secure environments for young people.
I like to bring a unique and valuable perspective to my work, having a deep understanding of cultural practices and how they can intersect with domestic abuse. This allows me to work effectively with clients from diverse backgrounds, providing them with culturally appropriate support and counselling.
