As a therapist, Ghazala strongly believes that each of us has the potential to live our best lives. We can do this when we learn how to take control of our situation by keeping ourselves calm and collected in stressful moments, when we are able to identify and challenge distorted thought patterns, and when we become ready to change behaviours that perpetuate negative cycles.

Still today, there can be a great deal of negative stigma associated with mental health struggles and that can make it difficult for people to seek therapy or know where to start. I was inspired by a close friend years ago to seek therapy even though I was so reluctant. I chose counselling as a profession because I want to provide the same safe, non-judgmental relationship for my clients that helped me to break down that stigma in my own therapy experience. My ideal client is ready to do the work to gain a better understanding of their struggles and move forward with better tools for managing them.

I recognize that life is complex, and so are the issues we live with. Whether it be a significant change, like losing a loved one, or tension within a meaningful relationship, it can feel overwhelming and hopeless trying to find our way through these challenges. I believe that we have the solutions to solve our problems within us and, at times, this requires us to reach out for support to uncover the answers to overcome these problems. From there, we seek to understand how we can learn from these hard times to strengthen ourselves and our relationships and find meaning from our experiences.
