You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the person who'll decide where to go.

What to expect in your therapy sessions?

Therapy is a process which takes commitment and willingness to explore painful experiences and at the same time learn new skills/ways of responding. Therapy requires time, investment and cooperation from you.

​

  1. Going to therapy for the first time can stir up a lot of anxiety. This is completely normal. During the first session your therapist will attempt to know you better. They will make detailed inquiries about the different areas of your life and the challenges you are facing. They may also suggest Psychometric testing and assessment to understand your personality and problems better.  This will in turn help to develop a therapy plan.

  2. The duration of a therapy session is 50 minutes.

  3. The frequency of sessions depends on each individual client’s needs and level of distress.

  4. The information you share is completely confidential. Confidentiality may be broken if there is any danger to yourself or any one else. The therapist may discuss the case with their supervisor.

  5. As therapy progresses you and your therapist will develop goals based on your specific needs and what you want to achieve through the therapeutic process. These goals may include skill development, regulating emotions, developing a balanced view of self, learning communication skills and so on.

  6. You and your therapist will work together to process and make sense of the problems or challenges you face, learn new coping strategies, manage difficult emotions and develop healthier interpersonal skills.

  7. Once this is achieved, and you feel more in charge of your life, therapy will be gradually terminated.

  8. You can reach out to the therapist again later if the need arises.

"Nisrin has been an absolute lifesaver for me. I was going through a really tough time in personal life when I found her on Google last year. Since then, her therapy sessions have helped me manage my emotions in a healthy way and have improved my relationship with my parents. I can't thank her enough for all the support and guidance she has provided me with. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a compassionate and skilled therapist."

I.S

"Attending therapy sessions for the past 6 months has been a life-changing experience for me. Thanks to the guidance and insights provided by my therapist, Nisrin, I have developed a deeper understanding of my own patterns and behaviors. I have been able to make significant positive changes in my life, such as setting healthy boundaries and letting go of things that were holding me back."

D.K

"Starting therapy was a turning point for me as I was struggling with relationship challenges that were affecting my personal life. Through continued sessions, I learned that the only thing I could control were my own actions. I recognized my role in the conflicts and learned how to communicate better to avoid further escalation. Thanks to therapy, my relationship has improved significantly."
