Description
I work with people who struggle with a tapestry of emotions, facing diverse challenges ranging from navigating life transitions, grappling with anxiety, depression, to seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. I strive to connect clients with their authentic selves, understanding their behaviors, emotions, and thoughts on a deeper level, often rooted in cultural dynamics. As a Person of Color, specifically of South Asian descent, I am able to connect and understand the dynamics many individuals and families face. I provide counselling in Urdu, Hindi and English.

Wisdom Speaks Counselling & Cons-
Summary
It's important to recognize that we all possess the inner wisdom required to soothe our emotional pain. However, at times, we may require external guidance to help us uncover this wisdom. Once found, it has the power to shift our perspective and transform how we view our struggles. This innate wisdom is always present within us, yet sometimes, we overlook it, dismiss it, or are unable to hear it. My intention is to assist you in finding your own inner wisdom and voice, so that it can provide you with comfort and support during difficult times.
