Meet Bela

Teaching the human heart in the light of revelation.

For more than a decade, Bela has taught psychology and human behaviour through the lens of Islam. She is a Senior Lecturer of Psychology at the International Open University — home of the world's first BSc and MSc in Islamic Psychology — leads the clinical team at Solace, and trains a new generation of Islamically integrated life coaches.

Her work sits at the intersection of religion, psychology, philosophy and poetry — and her mission is to build an institute where the Qur'an, Sunnah and Fiqh are taught alongside personal development.
