The Lateef Project was set up in 2010 to work with Muslim communities in Birmingham and is the longest running Islamic counselling service in Europe. We are an independent service that has worked with the NHS and other statutory and voluntary partners. Though the service was initially open to Muslims across Birmingham, we have worked with Muslims from all over the UK as well as Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Our face-to face service has reached people from diverse Muslim communities in several languages, providing a professional and sensitive therapeutic response to mental distress and common mental health problems, in line with the teachings of Islam. Our service has also been accessed by people of other faiths and those who do not ascribe to a particular faith. The Lateef Project is unique in its use of Islamic Counselling – a highly respected therapeutic faith-based model developed, practiced and trained to an accredited professional qualification in the UK for 20 years.
