​​​Appointment Types

​
​Booking an Appointment
Onsite and phone sessions are arranged via our online booking system. Home visits must be arranged by calling 07579 773 624. ​
​
Appointments are family-inclusive unless stated otherwise, meaning family members may attend the same session at no additional cost.
​
New patients are encouraged to book a double session (two consecutive 1-hour slots) to allow sufficient time for a thorough screening.
Please note that sessions may begin slightly later than scheduled. We aim to see all patients within 15 minutes of their booked time.
​​
Chaperone Requirement
All patients must be accompanied by a chaperone (an adult to observe the session). This applies to both males and females. Patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. If a patient arrives without a chaperone, the raqi reserves the right to discontinue the session at any point without refund, regardless of how much time has elapsed.​​
Emergency (Same-Day Appointments)
If you have an urgent situation requiring immediate attention, please check the online booking form for same-day availability.
​​
Pricing
Appointments vary from £45-75. Full prices are outlined in the booking form. Some sessions offer the option of paying a £20 deposit online, with the remaining balance paid at the session.
​
Home visits start from £130 and may vary based on distance and time.
Cancellations or No-Shows
Cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance of the appointment are eligible for a refund (usually processed within 14 working days).
Cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows are non-refundable, and the outsnading fee will be charged.
​​​​​
Screening Questions
During the appointment, the raqi will ask about your symptoms and background. Topics may include:
​
-
Previous treatments
-
Medical and psychiatric history
-
Family history
-
Thoughts and intrusive whispers
-
Dreams or nightmares
-
Physical pain
-
Abnormal episodes
-
Emotional and mental well-being
-
Marriage and relationships
There is no need to feel embarrassed. Our raqis are experienced professionals who approach every case without judgment.
​
During Your Appointment
Upon arrival, the raqi will greet you and process the remainder of the transaction (if applicable).
The raqi will begin by asking you some questions, followed by an explanation of the process. The raqi may carry out a diagnosis or proceed directly with treatment. During the session, he may:
​
-
Ask you (and your chaperone) to recite (in our experience, the patient's own recitation is highly effective)
-
Recite over you if you are unable to recite yourself, or alongside your recitation
-
Spray recited water on you
-
Tap different parts of the body if necessary. For female patients, their male mahram or female chaperone will be used as an intermediary
​
Some patients may experience reactions such as nausea, vomiting, or visual experiences.
​
At the end of the session, the raqi will provide you with a diagnosis. In some cases, multiple sessions may be required before a diagnosis can be confirmed. A post-session treatment plan and follow-up appointment may also be recommended.
Please note sessions may pause briefly for Salah.
​
