Can I get a Muslim therapist through this page?

We do not have an in-house clinical service. Helpers can point you to Muslim-led counsellors and to NHS Talking Therapies in your area. If you want to be matched specifically to a Muslim therapist, ask in your post and helpers may share recommendations.

Is what I share kept private?

Yes. Your full account is never visible to other users; the body of your post is visible in the category if you choose, and you can post anonymously. We never share information outside the platform without a safeguarding requirement.

Family Crisis Support for Muslims in the UK

When a family situation is at breaking point, the first need is often someone who will listen without judgement. This page explains how Muslims Help Muslims supports Muslim families in the UK through community listeners and signposting — and where to go for clinical help when that’s the right step.

Who this is for

Family Crisis Support is for Muslim households dealing with marital conflict, the death of a family member, a separation in progress, parenting fears, intergenerational tensions, or post-divorce isolation. The page also serves people supporting a relative who is struggling.

What community helpers can offer

Helpers are community members — sometimes elders, sometimes peers who have been through the same situation. They can listen, share their experience, sit with you while you make a difficult phone call, and explain what UK services exist. They are not therapists or imams and they do not give fatwa.

If safety is at risk

If you or anyone in the household is in immediate danger, call 999. For domestic abuse, the 24-hour national helpline is 0808 2000 247 (Refuge). For Muslim-specific support, the Muslim Women’s Network UK helpline is 0800 999 5786. The platform always signposts to these services when a post indicates a safeguarding risk.
