Hi I am Shayen founder of counselling practice, Nurturing Minds. In my practice I utilize an Holistic Approach, that focuses on integration of mind, body and soul as interconnected. As we cannot focus on the mind without taking into consideration for example 1) the different physical symptoms/sensations experienced and 2) the core valies/belief systems/faith that each individual believe in or grew up with. As all of these play an integral role in establishing optimal well-being and a sense harmony and fulfillment in one's life. Nurturing Minds therefore has a Non-Discriminary Policy, that welcomes people from all backgrounds/faiths.

Each person brings their own experiences and challenges into their personal and professional environments. Aligning yourself to form healthy productive relationships can be challenging at the best of times. How much more so, when there are barriers limiting you from achieving your full potential. Change is ongoing, getting a new job, dating, marriage, starting a family, moving to a new home/country, death, loss of a job, health status change. You must break through the denial and learn the tools that will improve your interactions with others. This takes courage & it’s difficult. Let let me help you improve your quality of life.

Often we get stuck thinking that we have to 'do' life alone, we need to be strong and have it all together. Through the hardest moments in my life, I have grown the most and also learnt that we are stronger together- the happiest and most successful people have many circles of support around them. I offer you a safe space in order to explore life challenges and transitions in a grounded and supported way. Challenges may include things such as exams, changing jobs, changing houses, losing a loved one, getting married, getting divorced and low self-esteem.

On a personal note, I am a married 44-year-old mother to a 10-year-old son. Why do I tell you this? Because I believe it is important for you to know that I have not only academic but also broad life experience. I have worked through much emotional and physical trauma in my life thus far, so I am able to understand the depths of feelings my clients present. I counsel both individuals and couples.

All of us have at least one thing in our lives that we wish we could overcome or conquer. As a registered wellness counsellor, my goal is to help clients navigate their way to climbing and conquering the mountain that they face. We often feel alone and like nobody understands us and what we are going through, but my aim is to offer you a space to be heard, to be vulnerable and to encourage you to take the first step toward having autonomy over your own life.
