Rima Alkadamani

          Rima Alkadamani – or Mimi, as many know me – after two decades working as a caseworker and project officer within government and non-profit organisations, I felt it was time for something different.

I wanted to move beyond the limitations of bureaucracy and create a space where care feels more personal, more connected, and more human. Mimicares was born from that vision. I have finally found my place where I can help individuals and families feel seen, supported, and empowered. I was first drawn to counselling and therapy because of a chance encounter with an inspiring lecturer who saw something in me that I hadn’t yet recognised.

          Through kindness, empathy, and compassion, I have embraced my role in helping people navigate their own challenges, fostering hope and resilience in their lives. I have always envisioned a practice where I could now offer individualised care – one that priorities compassion, connection, and meaningful support. That vision has now become Mimicares, a space dedicated to helping individuals and families on their journey toward healing and growth.
