Whatever brought you here, it deserves to be taken seriously, including by you. Three therapists work at NoorMinds, and below is what each of us is best placed to help with.
Start here if the thing you are carrying is old (a pattern that keeps repeating, a wound that still sets the terms, the quiet grief of having left somewhere behind). Schema therapy and psychodynamic work, with individuals and couples.
Start here if you want something to do about it this week (the anxiety, the sleep, the attention that will not hold, the argument at home that keeps restarting). CBT and solution-focused work, with individuals and couples.
Warm, collaborative and culturally responsive. CBT, ACT and DBT for anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief and life transitions, support for newcomers, and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples.
If you aren’t sure, pick any of us. The free consultation is partly for getting this right, and we’ll tell you if another of us is the better fit.
Something happened, maybe long ago, and it still shapes how you feel about yourself, how you react, how you trust. Schema therapy offers a compassionate, evidence-based path to understanding where these patterns came from and gently rewriting them.
In our work we don’t just manage symptoms. We trace them to their roots: where the old wounds began, how they taught you to protect yourself, and what it would take to feel safe enough to stop. The pace is always yours.
The racing thoughts that won't quiet down, or the heaviness that makes ordinary days feel like wading through water. These are among the most common reasons people reach out. They are also among the most responsive to therapy.
Sessions work on two levels at once: practical tools that quiet the noise this week, and the deeper patterns that keep regenerating it. The goal isn’t to never worry again. It’s to stop being ruled by it.
You love each other, but something keeps breaking down: the same argument on repeat, a growing distance, trust that's been damaged. Therapy creates space to hear and be heard, and to build something more honest.
Ghazal works with both partners as a team against the pattern, never as a referee between opponents. We slow the argument down until you can both see what is actually happening underneath it, often for the first time.
You've been pushing through for so long that you've forgotten what it felt like not to be exhausted. Burnout, imposter syndrome, conflict with colleagues: these are real, valid struggles worth taking seriously.
We look at what the exhaustion has been protecting you from noticing: the boundaries that were never allowed, the self-worth that got tied to output. Recovery isn’t a weekend off; it’s renegotiating the terms.
Immigration is celebrated as a new beginning, and it is. But it is also, quietly, a profound loss. Ghazal knows this journey personally. Sessions are available in Farsi, so you never have to translate your inner world.
This is work she knows from the inside. We make room for both truths at once: gratitude for the new life, and grief for everything it cost, in Farsi or English, whichever lets you think without translating.
The inner critic that narrates your every move. The sense of never being quite enough, no matter what you achieve. Therapy can help you trace that voice to its origin and learn to answer it differently.
The inner critic learned its script somewhere. In schema therapy we find out where. Then we practice, gently and concretely, answering it with a different voice: your own.
These are starting points, not boxes. If what you’re carrying isn’t named here, it still belongs in the room.
If any of this sounds like you, Ghazal would be happy to discuss how she can help.

The thought loop, the racing body, the low mood that flattens a week, the nights that don’t restore. Anxiety and depression, the moods that swing between them, and the checking and reassurance-seeking that anxiety sometimes recruits. CBT gives you something to do with each of these, and something to practise between sessions.
We start from what actually happened this week rather than from a label. You learn to catch the thought before it becomes the spiral, to notice the slide in mood while there is still something to do about it, and to put the body down at night. Most people notice the change first in what they do, not in what they feel.
Not a character flaw. We build systems that fit how your attention actually works, and unpick the shame layered on top of it.
Most people arrive having already tried to out-discipline it. We stop there. The work is practical (structure you will actually keep), and it makes room for the years of being told you weren’t trying hard enough, and for the low self-esteem that quietly builds up underneath them.
Loss, endings, a career that has started costing more than it gives, and the stretches where your life changes shape faster than you can adjust to it. Trauma-informed, and paced to you.
Nothing gets pushed. Trauma-informed means we build steadiness first, so that when you do turn towards the hard thing you are not turning towards it alone, and you can stop whenever you need to. The slower losses count too, including the career stress and burnout that arrived without a single event to blame.
Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples: structured, practical, and aimed at the pattern between you rather than at either person.
With couples, the work slows the argument down until you can both hear what sits underneath it, including the partner who arrived certain it was their fault, and the one whose anger keeps getting there first.
Structured doesn’t mean hurried. The pace is still yours, in English or Farsi (فارسی).

Low self-worth, loss, and the stretches when life changes shape faster than you can adjust. A safe, non-judgmental space to process difficult emotions and reconnect with your strengths.
