Areeba has been of great help to me. She truly listens and offers activities and materials that allows me to tackle the issues I have, better understand my feelings and emotions, and encourages me to be introspective while understanding that although life will have ups and downs and times where we're overwhelmed, it's how we react that matters.

Areeba is such a great therapist. Something that’s been missing in my therapist journey is someone who’s able to collate all my concerns and draw patterns, so I’m identifying issues and making progress holistically. I think I can achieve that with Areeba
