"I am so grateful to have Farah in my corner in life. I have learned so much from her over the three years, she has been instrumental in supporting me to process trauma and has helped me to build a meaningful and (largely) joyful life.
She takes a holistic approach to practice which I have really appreciated and she is not afraid to ask the tough questions and challenge me on thoughts and patterns that no longer serve me.
I am immensely grateful to her for all she has taught me and would highly recommend her as a therapist."
"I feel so cared for by Farah and her team, they genuinely care about who you are and what you need. You can feel how vested Farah is in their work and supporting them"
"Farah has helped me walk through challenging situations involving life-threatening trauma, betrayal, anxiety and depression. I am stronger, more confident and in the knowledge that I'm worthy of absolute love because of her."
