Shanni is a phenomenal therapist. She really understands where I’m coming from and the challenges I’m facing. She is patient and supportive, and has helped me through some very challenging times. I can’t thank her enough for all the support she has provided, and our weekly sessions continue to be of immense help to me! She is a consummate professional, who I’d highly recommend to everyone thinking of therapy. My only wish is that I’d started therapy with Shanni sooner!
