Counselor, Pre-Licensed Professional, Psychologist and Therapist
I am a certified Trauma Support Specialist and an internationally accredited REBT Practitioner, providing trauma-informed care and counselling to individuals. I help them cope with their emotional and psychological distress, and empower them to heal and recover. I use various trauma therapy techniques and interventions, such as mindfulness, which I learned from the Trauma Release and Wellness Centre, where I completed their Therapist Training Program. I also completed a certification as a Trauma Support Specialist from the Arizona Trauma Institute.
Furthermore, I have an international accreditation in REBT from The Priority Academy, where I acquired skills in rational emotive behavioural therapy, a cognitive-behavioural approach that helps clients identify and challenge their irrational beliefs and emotions. I also hold a Professional Certificate in Psychological Testing and Measurements, which enables me to conduct and interpret various psychological assessments and instruments. I recently completed my Master's degree in Social Sciences (Psychology) from Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology, where my thesis was titled "Exploring the Willingness of Marriage of Sexually Abused Females". I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences and Liberal Arts from the Institute of Business Administration, where I majored in Psychology. I have also shadowed a psychiatrist at the SHED foundation, where I volunteered.
I provide remote sessions to clients all over the globe while incorporating Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and trauma-informed care.
REBT helps individuals identify unhelpful beliefs and replace them with healthier, more empowering ways of thinking. It also supports emotional resilience and practical problem-solving. Trauma-informed care, on the other hand, recognizes the impact of past experiences on present struggles and creates a safe, compassionate space for healing and growth.
Through this integrated approach, I aim to help people regain clarity, cultivate self-acceptance, and build effective coping strategies. This can help them move forward with confidence and purpose in their personal and professional lives.
I am passionate about mental health and social justice, and I aim to use my knowledge and skills to help individuals and communities overcome their challenges and achieve their potential. I’m grateful to be doing this work and look forward to continuing to make a difference in people’s lives.
