About Anchor & Restore

Hi, my name is Simisola Rasheed, and I am the founder of Anchor & Restore.

I created this practice as a therapeutic space for emotional healing, relational wellbeing, and personal restoration. My aim is to create a space where you feel emotionally safe, heard, and supported at your own pace.

I support individuals experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, self-worth struggles, relational wounds, and unhealthy relationship patterns. My work focuses on helping people develop healthier relationships with themselves and others.

I understand that emotional pain and difficult relationships can affect the way we see ourselves, connect with others, and navigate everyday life. Therapy can offer a supportive space for reflection, healing, and greater self-understanding.

As the Lead Counsellor and Therapeutic Practitioner at Anchor & Restore, I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed, and integrative approach to my work. I am a qualified integrative counsellor, therapist, and coach with a Postgraduate Diploma and MSc in counselling and therapeutic practice, and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I work with individuals seeking emotional healing and relational wellbeing, including those who value integrating their Christian faith within therapy.

Testimonials

Client reflections

“Working with Simi was really helpful in getting some clarity and direction on my next steps. She helped me to work out my intentions, how to structure my weeks and how to lay out steps to take action. Her approachable, professional, open and friendly demeanour put me at ease straightaway. If you’re looking for some help in your next steps I would definitely recommend her!”
Coaching client
“Working with Simi was a very positive and supportive experience. She provided a calm, safe and non-judgemental space where I felt able to talk openly and be heard. Her approach was kind, thoughtful and professional, and I found the sessions helpful in giving me time to reflect, process difficult emotions and gain a clearer understanding of myself and my situation. I would happily recommend Simi to anyone looking for a compassionate and supportive counsellor.”
Counselling client
“My counselling sessions with Simi were always positive and supportive. She created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable discussing difficult issues at my own pace. Her empathy and ability to listen helped me feel truly heard and understood. What I found especially helpful was that the sessions never felt overly clinical or formal — I could relax, be myself, and even laugh when appropriate.”
Counselling client
“I approached Simi when my relationship was at breaking point and I felt heartbroken, confused, and hopeless. She created a safe space where I felt seen, heard, and understood, while gently reminding me that there was still hope. During a season of separation, her support, wisdom, and encouragement helped me move towards healing, forgiveness, and ultimately restoration in my marriage. I remain deeply grateful for the role she played during one of the most difficult seasons of my life.”
Relationship counselling client
“Working with Simi was a valuable experience for us as a couple. She has an exceptional ability to listen and ask thoughtful questions that encourage deeper reflection and growth. The sessions provided a safe and supportive space where we could hear one another in new ways and explore perspectives that may never have surfaced in everyday conversation. One of the greatest benefits was recognising how far we had come as a couple and appreciating the growth we had achieved together. I would wholeheartedly recommend Simi to anyone seeking coaching, relational support, or personal growth.”
Relationship enrichment client
“Our sessions with Simi were such a blessing. She created a safe and comfortable space for honest conversations while always respecting and incorporating our Christian beliefs and values. Her approach was well suited to our personalities and communication styles, making even difficult conversations feel approachable. The sessions helped us communicate better, understand one another more deeply, and feel more prepared for marriage. Simi was warm, wise, and supportive throughout, and we would highly recommend her to any couple.”
