our satisfied clients

A trusted firm providing strategic consultation and bespoke solutions across key business areas to achieve measurable success.

I really appreciate Zafreen’s approach to counselling. She creates a safe and inviting space to explore feelings without any pressure or judgement. I have been able to dive into many areas that I have either been too afraid of acknowledging or simply didn’t think further about.
I especially appreciate her strong theoretical knowledge and application. She delivers education in a way that doesn’t feel repetitive (having a health/mental health related career myself it can often be frustrating to hear what I already know) or minimizing. We have productive sessions whether in person or remotely. I am very thankful to have been able to work with her over the past couple years.
I’ve been taking counselling sessions since a while now and it has been nothing short of brilliant. Very honest, understanding, flexible and postive. Every session ends with a good reflection on what we’ve overcome and what is the roadmap going forward. Would recommend it always! Therapy is beautiful. ✨
