About Dr Zakia Akhter
Founder of Hope Cave | GP • Coach • Mental-Health Educator
Dr Zakia is a London-based GP with over 20 years of experience guiding Muslim women toward emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Trained in systemic family therapy and life coaching, she integrates evidence-based lifestyle medicine with prophetic wisdom to empower professionals, mothers, and sisters to overcome depression, anxiety, and burnout. Her compassionate, holistic approach has helped countless women move from low mood and overwhelm to a more connected, fulfilling life—as daughters, wives, colleagues, and believers.
As the architect of the NHS’s first Islamically grounded CBT programme delivered in 2016, Dr Zakia pioneered a model of care that honours both faith and psychology. She has delivered lectures and workshops at universities, mosques, and community centres across the UK. Known for listening deeply and explaining complex ideas with clarity and warmth, she is a trusted guide for anyone seeking relief from emotional exhaustion and a renewed sense of purpose.
At Hope Cave, Dr Zakia distills her decades of experience into a gentle yet practical roadmap called the Science and Sunnah method. Her signature course, 4 Steps To Heal Depression With Science And Sunnah, and its free companion guide are transforming how Muslim women approach mental health—replacing shame and confusion with knowledge, trust, and mercy.
