Sitting with Shabs has truly been life-changing. When I first came to her, I had a specific problem in mind—something I thought could be “fixed” with a quick, simple solution. What I discovered instead was so much more.
Through her thoughtful guidance and unique modalities, Shabs helped me see the value of approaching life holistically. I’ve grown into a better leader at work, a more present and grounded person at home, and a fuller version of myself in every area of life. She listens with an open heart—without judgment, always with compassion—and creates a space where real change feels not just possible, but inevitable.

Shabs is an incredibly insightful therapist. Within just 20 minutes of therapy, she helped me uncover a core issue from my childhood that I believe was a major root cause of my insecurities and anxieties. This newfound understanding lifted a huge weight off my shoulders and gave me a much more hopeful perspective.
Shabs has a remarkable ability to create a safe and supportive environment. Her practice space is clean, cozy, and even has a pleasant aroma that adds to the calming atmosphere. If you’re looking for a therapist who is not only skilled but also warm and empathetic, I highly recommend Shabs.

I had the pleasure of sitting with Shabs on two separate occasions, once individually and once with my partner. In both sessions, Shabs asked the right questions that led to breakthroughs and a series of realizations, which have been very beneficial to my mental health and the health of my relationship. I would highly recommend her, 10/10.

Shab is one of the best therapists I’ve ever worked with. I’ve been doing the process with her for almost a year, and I really enjoy it. There’s no need to be afraid of being judged, as she is a very open-minded person. The most important thing is to find a psychologist who makes you feel heard, seen, and understood, and I have found that with her.
Aprilia Nugrahani
Prior to my conversations with Shabs, I was overwhelmed by multiple thoughts. However, talking to her helped me break them down and tackle them one by one. I truly appreciate how she gave me the time and space to process my thoughts and emotions. Sometimes, it’s not reality but our own thoughts that weigh us down, and I always felt a little lighter after each conversation with Shabs.

Resolving Personal Issues
I felt I needed therapy for growth and to build a resilient mindset to withstand turbulence. Through therapy with Shabnam, I was able to get out of my spiral by recognizing my triggers. Ten sessions in, I felt a permanent change in how I tackle problems. It shaped me into a better founder and individual.
Shabnam guides me to grow by maximizing my core values. I love that she’s not just competent but empathetic, allowing me to relate to her as a friend while she maintains professionalism and ethical boundaries.
Client Focused on Growth Mindset + Core Values
My therapy journey with Shabnam began when I was burnt out from work. Working with her helped me see my problems with an open mind and untangle them step by step. Through the activities given in each session, I was able to recover quickly and navigate the 'thin water' at work with less anxiety and more calm. I also accepted that I don’t have to be at 100% all the time—and that it’s okay to be at 80%.
Shabnam helped me shift the way I see myself in a fun, grounded, and empowering way.
Client Focused on Work Burnout
I had been trying to heal from a past trauma in my marriage which was very much affecting my relationship with my husband. Through therapy, Shabnam helped me breakdown and analyze my negative thought patterns. We then focused on reframing and changing my perspective and finding applicable solutions. I also found mindfulness, the practise of grounding, to be in the present and neutralizing my feelings very useful. In the whole process, I felt guided by a very attentive friend. I felt relieved and hopeful each time I talked to Shabnam from our very first meeting. I am able to communicate much better with my husband and face day to day problems within my marriage with an open mind. I feel content and grateful for my marriage even though it is far from perfect.
Client Facing Relationship Healing and Trauma Recovery
I decided to return to therapy because I felt the need to work on certain behaviors and thought patterns but wasn’t sure where to begin. A friend encouraged me to try again, and I’m glad I did. What I found most helpful was the planning aspect, it gave me clarity and direction. Within a month, I had already started using practical coping tools like breathing exercises, which made a noticeable difference in my daily life. Therapy helped me become more mindful and less reactive, and I now approach situations with greater awareness. Working with you has been a friendly, insightful, and intelligent experience.
Client Facing Behavioral Change and Mindfulness Development
Before meeting Shabs, I felt so frustrated in my marriage. I thought it was just burnout from work that I was bringing home, but it turned out to be more than just work-related issues.
Why did I choose to trust our couple sessions with Shabs? Because during our very first online meeting, she said something that touched me deeply: “Let me help you to be friends again.”
From that moment, I saw a light. I felt I could trust her, and that she could help us get better, to reconnect and rebuild what we had lost. We had never really updated our marriage map. Shabs helped me understand how our family backgrounds, past experiences, and trauma all influence the way we respond to each other. She has done a great job supporting our relationship, and we have decided to keep Shabs as our counsellor. It is comforting to find someone who truly understands and helps you grow into a better person.
Thank you, Shabs. My mind is now at ease, and I can finally feel like myself again as a person, as a mother, and as a wife.
