From The Mud The Lotus – Transforming Obstacles into Growth2019-11-19T08:54:05+00:00

WELCOME

All of us face challenges and difficulties in our lives- and yet what if these moments are the “mud” from which our very own lotus can grow?

Samina Khan, counsellor and therapist

I believe in the alchemy of everyday life – the ability to discover the gold in difficult and painful moments.

Samina Khan, counsellor and therapist

In these pages I offer my own alchemical potions – both in the services that I provide and in the writings that pour from my heart.

May these pages  provide a new way of seeing and soothe you on your way.

My name is Samina Khan. I am an explorer and navigator of the human condition. For more than twenty years I have immersed myself within the study of psychology, spirituality and therapy. My journey has always sought to include a full mind, body and spiritual dimension and to this end I have trained as  a Transpersonal therapist, Life-Coach, DanceMandala facilitator, TRE provider, Self-Compassion coach, Inner Dance facilitator and my journey continues.
