Hiba Chughtai, BA, Msc., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Are you tired of feeling held back by anxiety or depression? Do you want to regain control over your life and relationships? I’m here to support you on your journey towards healing and growth.

In our sessions together, you’ll find a safe and welcoming space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I’ll work with you to identify your strengths and goals, and empower you with evidence-based tools and strategies to manage your symptoms and achieve fulfillment.

I strive to create meaningful connections with my clients. I take the time to truly listen and understand your unique experiences and perspectives, and I’m dedicated to helping you feel seen, heard, and understood.

My approach is centered around your unique needs and concerns. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and that you have the potential to become your own “therapist” and manage your mental health with the right support and guidance.

I am mindful of the challenges many experience when deciding to seek therapy. Healing is not linear, and navigating the highs and lows is part of the journey. I am here to support you every step of the way.

I am committed to supporting you in:

– Building effective coping strategies to navigate anxiety and depression

– Cultivating healthy relationships and communication skills

– Discovering your inner strength and confidence

– Overcoming the grip of trauma and phobias

– Uncovering a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment, aligned with your values and aspirations
