'MSA was able to support members and provide them with an outlet to express themselves beyond sports, particularly through art therapy. The sessions fostered discussions and encouraged openness among members, allowing them to share thoughts often kept hidden due to fear of judgment. Alongside conversation, there was also art making: each piece of artwork became a unique expression of our inner thoughts and feelings. Nabila was an incredibly encouraging and sensitive facilitator, understanding each participant's vulnerability and gently guiding conversations that initiated the healing process we all needed for our mental health support and to move on from our traumas. This aligns with numerous therapist testimonials highlighting the importance of creative expression in recovery.' Yashmin Harun BEM · Founder & Chair of MSA

'Nabila delivered art therapy workshops for young people as part of our summer programme, focusing on mental health support. She excelled at building trust, allowing the young people to talk more openly about their emotions. We observed a different level of engagement from those facing personal challenges, and her impact was consistently highlighted in therapist testimonials, demonstrating a really positive influence on our relationships with the young people.' - Eleanor Tull, Creative Programme Coordinator, Streets of Growth.
