Shabnam Firdus Profile

I am always open to learning new things. Though i am passionate about learning and exploring more about human behaviour and thoughts, i also enjoy learning and trying new cooking recipes and DIYs . What makes me different is my effective communication skill with a mix of empathy and understanding (YES! I UNDERSTAND YOU), which helps in building more trust, comfort and confidence in clients.

My therapies are mostly centered around yoga and meditative practices, self exploration , mindfulness, cognitive and behavioral therapies and integrative approaches.
