Maha was extremely good at helping me resolve the issue and difficulties I had. She is very welcoming, open and perceptive and her skills as a counsellor guided me to coming to terms with and resolving the difficulties that had arisen. I can very much recommend her.

Maha is extremely approachable, caring and patient. Working with Maha enabled me to assess my current situation with an independent person and talk through how I was feeling and why. I was able to manage a stressful time in my life and felt that Maha understood and supported me.
