Accepting new clients! My ideal clients are those navigating anxiety, trauma, cultural sensitivity, burnout, stress, depression, time-management, and low self-esteem. Often while balancing cultural expectations, religious expectations (Islam), and personal identity. They come seeking relief from overwhelm, emotional pain, or feeling stuck. Together, we build coping skills, process experiences, and reconnect with their values so they can move forward with clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.

As a Muslim Pakistani therapist, I recognize that culture, family, & faith can have a significant impact on our mental health and well-being. I strive to create a safe & supportive environment where clients can openly explore their experiences without fear of judgment. I support individuals facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, self-esteem challenges.

Taking the first step toward support can feel difficult. However, it doesn’t have to be done alone. As a counselling intern, I will ensure to provide a safe, supportive, and empathetic environment for you to feel comfortable, heard, and understood.
