Shazia is amazing! She has this way to very incisively cut straight to the underlying problem and she will remember even if you don't, how it's affected you before: she's really helped me reach closer to understanding the pattern and if you can understand the patter, you can try break it.

Greetings.
Ms. Shazia Ahmad is very keen and careful listener. She sympathises very nicely and tries her best to fully understand the issues at hand before coming to any conclusions.
She gives excellent counselling. Altough I'm still under treatment with her at the time of writing this review, I'm confident that with her help, my issues will definitely be resolved.
She is a very non judgemental, unbiased person, as all good therapist should be. I was able to be very open and Frank with her, without having the fear of being judged or critiqued for thinking a certain thing or feeling a certain way. And take it from me, unbiased opinion goes a long way in helping you make better life decisions in the long term.
I would definitely recommend Ms. Shazia to anyone who is going through a tough phase in life and needs someone to talk to and feel better about it.
And Ms. Shazia, if you happen to read this, then congrats. Keep up the good work. I'm sorry i cannot provide any constructive criticism at this point. So, Keep learning and keep growing. I'm glad to have met you.
Sincerely.

She's very understanding and patient, and honest. Doesn't pretend to be important or higher than the person. Doesn't patronize. Talks like a friend.

Shazia is one of the most compassionate and kind counsellors that I have had the privilege to meet and interact with. She is extremely easy to talk to, non-judgemental and encouraging in her mannerisms. Talking to her always felt like speaking with a good friend. She has helped me become more consistent in my therapy journey for which I will always be grateful to her for. I recommend her with the utmost confidence.

Hoped for better: Treatment satisfactionValue for moneyExplanation of the health issue
Hi..I wouldn't say my psychologist was bad but she did not talk anything about my illness and how this psychological session would help me get better. I was diagnosed with a health issue and she did not talk anything about my diagnosis. * ***** *** **** **** **** ***** ** ******** It would have been better if she would have explained about my disease and explained me what treatment should i be given.I did not feel satisfied with the counselling.
