About me
"Change happens in the space between us — in the way we listen, speak, and grow together."
Relationships are living, breathing things. When nurtured, they can be a source of deep joy, growth, and emotional safety. But when conflict, silence, or old wounds take hold, they can feel more like walking a tightrope — balancing love with frustration, care with disconnect.
I'm here to help you both step off the tightrope and back into connection.
Who I Am
I'm a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic Integrative Pluralistic Counsellor and a Systemic Practitioner at Intermediate Level currently completing an MSc in Family and Systemic Psychotherapy (AFT-accredited).
My professional background includes working with couples, families, adults, and young people across the NHS, schools, and trauma-informed charity settings.
How I Work With Couples
Every relationship is a system, and each partner brings their own history, hopes, and hidden pain. My approach blends integrative psychotherapy with systemic ideas — exploring patterns of interaction, past influences, and the emotional undercurrents that shape how you relate to each other.
Our work is collaborative: you bring the expertise on your lives, and I bring curiosity and a systemic lens to deepen our understanding of what’s happening. I aim to create a space where both partners feel safe enough to share, reflect, and reconnect.
Together, we might explore:
Communication breakdowns
Barriers to emotional closeness
Cycles of conflict, avoidance, or blame
Parenting differences or external stressors
How past relationships or trauma affect your present bond
A Metaphor for Our Work
Many couples arrive in therapy feeling like they’re stuck in a loop, repeating the same argument with different words. Or like they’re living in the same house but on different emotional islands, unsure how to bridge the gap.
Our sessions offer a safe harbour — a place to slow down, really hear one another, and begin to make sense of what’s happening underneath the surface. I hold space for each voice to be heard, for repair to begin, and for new ways of relating to emerge.
My Therapeutic Approach
I work pluralistically, meaning I tailor the process to fit you, not the other way around.
Humanistic Therapies
Helping each of you feel genuinely heard and understood — like a plant turning toward sunlight.
Cognitive Behavioural Tools
Offering practical strategies for change — like a roadmap out of recurring conflicts.
Psychodynamic Perspectives
Looking at how past wounds or attachment styles show up in present-day arguments — gently untangling old threads.
Systemic Lens
We explore how your relationship is shaped by past experiences, family dynamics, culture, and wider systems — making space for each partner’s story, while also working on shared patterns.
What Therapy Might Look Like
In our work, I aim to create a warm, respectful, and non-judgmental space. I don’t take sides — I help you both feel heard, and help you together understand the patterns that keep you stuck.
You’ll leave sessions with:
Greater emotional insight
A stronger understanding of each other’s needs and wounds
Practical tools to support change
A renewed sense of possibility for your relationship
When Relationships Feel Like This…
“It feels like we’re roommates, not partners anymore.”
“We keep having the same fight, again and again.”
“We love each other, but something’s missing.”
“Parenting has pulled us in opposite directions.”
“We’re carrying so much from the past — it’s affecting how we connect now.”
…therapy can help. And you don’t have to fix it all on your own.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mohamed Bhatti. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Mohamed is a fantastic therapist, very perceptive and highly knowledgeable. Would strongly recommend.
