personal info

Saiyyidah has three strands to her practice: she works with CEOs, senior leaders and their teams, as an advisor, mirror and sounding board as a Founding Partner with Altair Advisory LLP; she trains senior leaders to become coaches as a Faculty member with Meyler Campbell; and she is an independent researcher in practical theology as a Research Assistant at the University of Oxford’s Centre for Culture and Religion. Saiyyidah was the first Muslim in Britain to complete a Doctorate in Critical Studies/Practical Theology (Thesis title ‘This is the sound of my soul: seeking belonging and inclusion in practical theology’), her work has been described in academic journal editorials as ‘pioneering’, ‘provocative,’ and ‘pivotal.’

Stemming from her research and lived experience, Saiyyidah has a particular interest in helping individuals and organisations to develop impact and influence through exploring identity, culture, and belonging.

Saiyyidah is a qualified Architect, has two Masters degrees in Construction Economics and Management and Applied Positive Psychology, and a PhD in Practical Theology/Critical Studies. She is an European Mentoring and Coaching Council Master Coach and Embedded Supervisor, a Faculty Member and Tutor with Meyler Campbell, and a Partner with Altair, a next generation leadership advisory firm.

Outside work and home, Saiyyidah enjoys cinema, travel, and experiencing/learning new things (she is currently learning improvisation comedy!). She lives in London with her husband, two adult children, and Tiger the Cat.
