Taslim Tharani
Organisational & Coaching Psychologist
Taslim is an organisational and coaching psychologist whose work is shaped by her experience of living within liminal spaces, holding East African Asian and Ismaili Muslim influences, and navigating the advantages and challenges that come with a fluid, evolving sense of identity. As someone who is also neurodivergent, she brings a lived understanding of difference, belonging, and the complexities of moving through systems not designed for all bodies or ways of thinking. With more than 15 years of experience across sectors, her practice is grounded in care, justice, and the belief that resourcing people and their nervous systems is essential for sustainable change.
Tas coaches people navigating emotionally complex work, identity-based dynamics, or the after-effects of strain or harm. Her approach is trauma-informed, creating culturally inclusive, non-judgmental spaces where the unspeakable can be spoken, where clients explore what is emerging, deepen self-awareness, unlearn limiting or harmful norms, and access their own clarity and leadership. Clients describe her as warm, attentive, analytical, and gently challenging, someone who can hold depth with steadiness while supporting people to reconnect to confidence, purpose, and possibility.
Drawing from a broad range of approaches, Tas blends traditional coaching psychology, including inquiry-based and psychodynamic approaches, acceptance and commitment coaching, and strengths-based methods, with embodied practices and wisdom traditions rooted in relationality, presence, and care. She resists rigid binaries and formulaic coaching, meeting each client where they are and adapting to what is needed, whether that is deeper reflection, strategic clarity, or resourcing for complexity. In all her work, she centres the humanity and lived experience of her clients, meeting them where they are and supporting them to navigate the questions, challenges, and possibilities that feel most important to them.
