Iftikhar Daad al-Azhari is also the founder of Darul Ikhlas, a registered charity that offers a wide range of services and projects to the Muslim community of London.

Counselling at LMC is a collaborative effort between our counsellors and you, aimed at creating a supportive and safe environment to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Our approach involves using various techniques tailored to meet each client’s unique needs, with the objective of promoting self-awareness, coping skills, and emotional well-being.
We offer Islamic counselling, a type of psychological counselling that combines Islamic teachings and principles with established counselling techniques. Our goal is to guide and support individuals who experience difficulties in their lives by providing a faith-based approach to therapy.
At LMC, we offer confidential and non-judgmental therapy for people with mild to moderate mental health problems. Our therapy sessions are integrative, considering each individual’s specific circumstances. We provide both face-to-face and online therapy options.
The first session is an assessment meeting, which is free, and thereafter, our sessions are priced at £35 per session for 50 minutes.
