Brief Introduction:
Though I had different ideas of my profession as I grew up, today I find immense satisfaction in working with people as a Sr. counselor at MindFresh. As a people worker, I challenge my capacity as a counselor and also my client’s perspectives to find an elegant solution to their challenges.
I follow the client-centered approach, where I consider clients’ life experiences essential for their progress. I believe every human being can think, make new decisions, and grow. I facilitate a healthy interaction with clients to show that they are not the sum of their experiences, thoughts, and emotions. This helps them to untie their limiting chains and explore the wide potential for their progress.
