Are you looking to untangle the complexities of your relationships, including inevitable bumps like conflicts and breakups? Meet Mahnoor–your compassionate guide for individuals and couples eager to enhance communication skills, navigate anxious thoughts, and build self-esteem. Mahnoor is particularly passionate about supporting multiculturally identifying individuals, as she has firsthand experience with the challenges different cultural dynamics can have on your relationships. And hey, if relationship concerns aren’t what you’re experiencing difficulty with, Mahnoor can also support you with managing stress, overthinking and other culturally related challenges.

Starting therapy can feel daunting–there’s no doubt about that. Mahnoor acknowledges this by creating a safe and comforting space for you to feel confident and empowered. Before anything else, Mahnoor will get to know you and your experiences to create a personalized therapy plan to support you. As she builds this plan, she’ll collaborate with you to better explore your needs, goals, and what an effective action plan might look like for you. Once your therapy plan is set, you’ll dive into the work together, which may involve practical exercises, implementing learned skills through worksheets, or engaging activities.

During her free time, Mahnoor loves to cook while singing along to throwback hits, get hands-on with pottery, watch the latest Netflix show, and play games with friends. She’s all about embracing gratitude to soak in the small joys of life and keep that positive vibe going. Mahnoor’s a travel buff and has lived in different corners of the world, soaking in various cultures and backgrounds. She’s always up for learning more about different cultures and would love to hear from you about yours!

Q&A

What is your favourite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon?
Rest! We often find ourselves scheduling 100 things for the weekend, and while this is great and worthwhile, it is also important to take out time to recuperate and recharge ourselves for the coming week; this can help prevent burnout.
If you could change professions for one day, what would you choose?
A hot sauce taste tester! (Can anything compete with Tabassco though? Open to debates...)
On a hot summer's day, what kind of bevy are you reaching for?
An ice cold glass of my homemade watermelon juice. Ask me for my recipe!
