Your thoughts and feelings have a significant impact on your reality. Nazish’s goal  is to provide a safe, warm and culturally sensitive place where self-belief can flourish and growth can be witnessed. Nazish views it as an honour to accompany her clients in their personal challenges, assisting them in exploring their feelings and holding the uncertainties of life without judgment.

Her therapeutic approach is inspired by a variety of modalities including  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy. She is a graduate of the Masters in Theological Studies Program from Western University. She holds a curious mind and continues to learn new skills and competencies. 

In her spare time, Nazish likes to read history, play board games and spend time with family.
