Scroll a little down. More of me here!
My name is Nayef Abu Qaddum, I am a Palestinian and a Canadian, and I welcome you warmly! Here is who I am even more, and how I have come to do what I do so zealously! I began my educational pathway at Toronto Metropolitan University in English Literature for 4 years, finally deciding to study at York University, a Bachelor’s in Philosophy, and working on my Bachelor’s of Arts in Islamic Studies at the Islamic Online University.
I completed my Islamic Integrated Coaching Certification from Solace—Islamic Mental Health Services granting me counselling and coaching licence. I am licensed by the Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences as a Mental Health interventionist and accredited by the Mental Health Commission of Canada. Additionally, I have completed my training in Fundamentals of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Core Skills to Improve your Practice, at the University of McMaster, gaining a substantive introspect into the mechanics and technicalities of the human rationale, and psychology. Topping everything off with my acquisition of the LivingWorks START training certificate in suicide prevention and support from LivingWorks.
I have a visible presence on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, producing content in line with my Counselling, Religious Counselling, and Emotional Wellbeing and Coaching.
I spent the last 17 years in public speaking as a Preacher in Toronto, Canada. I delved much of my life as an Imam and a teacher in religious environments at home, while also fundamentally working in public relations and communications, fundraising as well as English teaching in Türkiye.
