The Name

What NoorMinds means

Noor (نور) is the Persian word for light — the warmth that guides you through uncertainty, and the clarity that emerges when you begin to truly understand yourself.

NoorMinds was built on the belief that this light already exists within you. Therapy is the process of uncovering it: moving from confusion and pain toward insight, connection, and a more grounded, authentic sense of who you are.

You are seen here. You are welcome here — in whatever language feels most like home.

About Ghazal

Both expertise and genuine understanding.

I'm Ghazal, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with over ten years of experience working with individuals and couples.

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Kharazmi University in Iran, and a Master of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Yorkville University in Canada.

My primary modality is Schema Therapy, with advanced training through the CASMH Health Institute in Germany. I also integrate psychoanalytic approaches — drawing on both to support people working through relationship challenges, trauma, and deep-seated emotional patterns that have shaped their lives in ways they're ready to change.

My approach is culturally informed, relational, and collaborative. We work at your pace, always. I believe that lasting change doesn't come from being told what to do — it comes from genuinely understanding yourself, and from building a therapeutic relationship where you feel truly safe to do that work.

Sessions are available in English and Farsi (فارسی).
