About LP MERCHANT LTD
Vision
The reverences of the religion of Islam are universal and the promise of Allah, hold onto your religion or be replaced with people that are better. In an absence of knowledge and discourse of Islam, there are many individuals and communities that do not know or are without fluency in Islamic practises to advise and provide solutions. The Qur’an and Islam is for the Muslims and the non-Muslims. Within Islam are guidance on ethics, manners, health and more.
“Islam is the peace, mercy and balance for all humankind and creation”
A condensed overview of the framework of Islam:
- extremes to avoid and use to adjust your approach
- what is good and to strive for it
- what is bad and try to avoid it
- reflections of the natural world and of people to ground our sentiment and reasoning
A person can influence the person to the left of them and the person to the right of them.
The services and resources are intended for individual use. Although people can experience issues with spouses, siblings or parents, no group or couple services are available or planned for future release. A key point in Islam is Judgement Day, when all people will be concerned about themselves and how their words, actions, intentions and feelings will be viewed. In a similar perspective, the aim is to focus on the accountability and abilities of the individual, even when the issues are based on spouse, sibling or parent-child relationships.
Company
The services and resources are based on a comparison between therapy models and Islamic guidance. The Islamic guidance is both concise and comprehensive and offers non-invasive guidance that does not require specialist terminology.
The preserved authentic source material for Islam is in Arabic. At the time of revelation of the Qur’an, people who entered into Islam could rely on the people and community around them to discuss and share knowledge. In the present era there is an absence of an immersive community and so we have an absence in the implementation of Islam.
The company aims to facilitate awareness of this absence of Islam to help people understand and navigate the issues that they face. There are Muslim majority countries but these do not the Islamic legislations and so face the negative effects of the absence of Islam.
Counselling sessions without BACP
The service does not aim to imitate therapy and purposely does not sit under professional standards of BACP and other professional bodies. The goal to provide a professional and fair service doesn’t require this type of registration and it is not mandatory to have this or a similar registration to provide a counselling service. Common issues of complaint that BACP receives regarding practitioners can be found on their website and each one is addressed by the service structure and resources.

BOUNDARIES
The materials and counselling sessions do not apply tactics such as validation, mirroring tone or sharing mutual stories. This is with the intention to avoid rapport building strategies. The ideal of the sessions are to build skills and confidence in the customers so that this can be carried forward in their lives and communities.
COMPETENCE AND FITNESS TO PRACTISE
To avoid bias relating to gender, experiences, certification and age the services are provided anonymously and the resource materials are available for customers to have insight into the framework of Islam and the topics that can be addressed in sessions. The services are provided in English and do not use key Islamic terms which would be in Arabic for the purpose of focusing on understanding. Islamic study of Qur’an and Hadith can provide knowledge of the key terms and a wider understanding of the concepts. Certain resources have been designed to bridge the gap from knowledge of Islamic concepts in English to knowledge of Islamic concepts in Arabic to help customers to explore Islam themselves.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The services do not require sensitive details from customers. Customers will never be asked to produce promotional content. Islamically to have bad character is to make yourself a hostage in your own body. Breaking the trust of customers and anyone is bad character and would lead to worse behaviour. The technical steps that ensure confidentiality can be found in TERMS & CONDITIONS which is linked at the end of ever page on the site.
CONTRACTING
The service operates on a PAY AS YOU GO model even when a series of sessions have been requested this is to promote mindfulness of customer spending and use of services. There are flexible session bookings available to meet a variety of customer needs which can also help a customer to change their session type booking if their situation changes.
ENDINGS
There is no exist assessment. Customers are not tied into multiple session purchases. Customers are not reminded of the time during sessions so that their train of thought is not disturbed. When the session has ended a transcript of the session can be sent via email for the customers personal use. It is not permitted to use the transcript for commercial use, see TERMS & CONDITIONS.
THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS
The services do not include prescribing medication, producing reports or attending court hearings. The service does not suggest that it will resolve mental health diagnosis such as OCD, ADHD, anxiety or depression. The resources and services are for all people but are not promoted as the sole source of help for any one person. A diagnosis is not criteria for refusal of service and does not require disclosure before requesting services. See TERMS & CONDITIONS for more details.
Origin
Belief & Reason
The Qur'an is greater than Arabic poetry.
Arabic poetry is greater than the Arabic language.
The Arabic language is greater than modern Arabic language.
The Qur’an and Islam are for all humankind. There are many nations and people that have a different first language and each person may have different reflections on Islam but the ethics, teachings and framework are clear and can be shared and utilised. People can then consider the reasoning within Islam and widen their understanding of themselves, the people around them and the structured world we live in.
ambition
People face many issues today across the world but their rights and the nature of people has not changed and what seems overwhelming can be viewed in it’s intricate form and improved in a way that is as natural as breathing.
Stigma and shyness exists between people impacting their connections, self-esteem and aspirations. The services aim to provide understanding, knowledge and a sense of commonality between people. People feel less like a stranger when meeting new people, and feel like new people are less like strangers. Life is more readily taken in stride.
People build families, build communities, build nations. In strengthening the individuals they are then better for all that they are connected and involved with.
