Testimonials

I am honored to share my testimonial about Naina, an exceptional therapist who has been instrumental in helping me navigate some of the most difficult periods of my life.

When I first met Naina, I was struggling with so many issues related to my identity as an unmarried British Muslim Pakistani woman in her 30s. I was also dealing with the aftermath of a difficult breakup and the challenges of moving to a new country. I was carrying a lot of anger and pain that I had used to protect me from my trauma, and I wasn't quite sure how to move forward.

Through Naina's patient, empathetic, and insightful guidance, I was able to learn how to be with my emotions, including the anger and pain that had been brewing inside me for so long. She helped me understand that facing my emotions was an essential part of the growth process, and that by doing so, I could begin to heal and move forward with my life. She taught me that self-love isn't selfish, it isn't forbidden for people of colour, and that I am enough just as I am.

My favourite thing about Naina is that she always supports her strategies with theory, and her analogies and stories make it easy to understand cognitive patterns. Even for a know-it-all like me...

Naina's unwavering support and compassion helped me weather some of the toughest storms of my life. She provided me with a safe space to explore my deepest fears and concerns, and she helped me develop the tools I needed to cope with life's challenges. Her guidance has been invaluable to me, and I feel deeply grateful for the impact she has had on my life.

I cannot recommend Naina highly enough to anyone who is seeking compassionate, insightful, and effective therapy. She is truly a gifted therapist who has a unique ability to help her clients grow, heal, and thrive.

Thank you, Naina, for all that you do.

From my experience, it's clear that Naina is an attentive listener who has created a safe space for me to share my thoughts and feelings. This is an essential quality in any therapist and shows that she is fully committed to understanding my needs and helping me achieve my goals.
In addition to being a good listener, Naina seems to have a talent for making you laugh and using analogies to help you gain a new perspective on your situation. This shows that she is creative in her approach and is able to adapt her style to meet your needs.
Moreover, it's impressive that Naina is an excellent conversationalist who engages with you instead of relying on the standard "and how did that make you feel?" approach which can be boring and leaves you feeling exhausted because you are the only one doing the talking. This shows that she is genuinely interested in you as a person and wants to build a trusting relationship with you.
Most importantly, Naina provides you with actionable coping strategies and helping you develop better lines of thought. This is a sign that she is focused on your growth and well-being, and is actively working to help you achieve your goals. 
Overall, it's clear that Naina is providing high-quality services that are tailored to your individual needs. She has created a safe and comfortable environment for you to explore your feelings and develop new coping strategies. Based on my experience , I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate therapist.
- Previous Client

Naina has been my therapist for the last few months. I started therapy as my anxiety was at an all time high and it was having an adverse effect on my physical health. I was having panic attacks, which occurring two to three times a week and had also had developed bells palsy. Naina was so supportive from the initial session; she gave me practical advice to deal with my panic attacks. She is very patient and non judgmental. Throughout the last few months we have developed a really good rapport and I feel comfortable sharing thoughts and feelings that I would not normally express to other people. I’ve had counselling previously and this has been by far the best experience.

I began talking to Naina in summer of 2021 when I felt I was at a breaking point in my life and needed counselling. From the very beginning at the initial consultation to the end sessions, Naina has been nothing short of amazing. 
Her character and personality is what made me be consistent with my sessions for over a year- once every week. Her support and understanding was unmatched and I always looked forward to speaking to her. 
We unearthed a lot of trauma I never knew existed and when risen to the surface it really allowed me to explore and accept different parts of myself I would never have accepted had it not been for Naina. I believe my mindset has shifted greatly due to our sessions and I apply it to all situations and problems I may encounter in my everyday life. We tried various different therapy methods and I learnt so much about each one that I would have never known pre my sessions with Naina. 
Naina was very flexible in terms of session timings, always allowed me to change time if need be as I work shift patterns. Naina always let me take my time and listened intently and replied accordingly. 
She was never judgmental or biased and made me really comfortable in being expressive in ways I have never managed to be before. 
Naina introduced me to journaling which I never thought I would do and I continue to journal even now. 
Overall, I do not have enough words to explain how Naina has greatly improved my mental health. I appreciate all the time and effort that she invested into me and I will forever be grateful for all the ways she has helped to improve my life.
