Elevating the Mind, Body & Spirit
Although there are days when I feel like I'm not doing good, I've come to realize that I have more good days than bad days now. My sessions with you have been more like talks with a trusted family member, a comfortable space where I am also held accountable for my own actions. I am more than grateful for the journey we have been on and I am excited to see where I will end up with the tools I've acquired so far.
Shadi is a very welcoming person, and i was pleased with my experience being counselled by her. Throughout the counselling process she made me feel comfortable to talk about anything. She's very congruent and very empathetic. She made me feel heard and also understood what i was saying throughout the counselling process.
She's very competent in her field which made me feel confident in the counselling sessions knowing I'm talking to someone who is well trained in her field. She is genuine and sincere with her feedback and how she communicates.
I would recommend her to anyone who needs counselling because as a person who has never been to counselling before she made it easy for me to be comfortable talking to a complete stranger about my personal life struggle
I would highly recommend Shadi. She goes over and beyond her duties as a counselor.
What stands out for me, above all, is her unwavering commitment and patience. She does not give up on you, even on those days when you feel like giving up on yourself.
Her sessions allow you to be your authentic, unedited self without judgement but with empathy and consideration.
She never gives up, I remember her saying that she wouldn't stop until I am in a better space and she really stuck to her word on that.
Shadi is truly one of a kind!!!
I have known Shadi Chasakara for more than twelve years. She has a warm personality which makes it easy to communicate with her on any matter even when it is a difficult issue that is being discussed. Shadi is fully committed to her work and what she commits to, she will do. She is a dedicated team player and always contributes her time and words of wisdom to the team. Shadi is able to relate with people with different characters and personalities as she is a very friendly person.
Being a highly reserved person, i must admit Shadi immediately picked up on my personality type and provided me a client experience tailored for me and my expectations. She listened and guided me without pushing and judgement. I felt comfortable to pour my heart out. Shadi is very good at what she does.
Being a young adult can be too much some. Between school, friendships, relationships and life in general life can be overwhelming. Then i came in contact with Shadi with her warm personality and great knowledge of the mind and emotions! She was able to make me trust the process of counseling and keep trying and wanting the best for myself. I am happy happy with her help. She is a great wellness counselor!
Great wellness counselor! Shadi is very patient, professional, wise and calm. She helped face issues that used to plague me at night. I am a better version of me and stronger because of her. I would recommend her Shadi!
Working with Shadi has been very enlightening,her approach allowed me to feel more confident and empowered me to make the changes I needed to make. She is easy to talk to and brings a refreshing energy to the table. She provided me with a lot of wisdom which has helped me to turn my situation around. She is genuine and has a real love for people no matter the circumstance.
You once told me my life is in winter and summer will come for me too, I was confused but you explained what you meant.
I am writing to you to thank you for all the sessions we had, I will never forget you.
I am in summer now. Thank you. 🙌🏾
As I sit down to reflect on my journey through therapy, I felt an overwhelming urge to express my gratitude for the invaluable role you've played in my life. Your Guidance has been a beacon of hope, especially during those pivotal breakthrough moments that have reshaped my understanding of myself.
I vividly remember our sessions when I first confronted my long standing fears. The way you gently encouraged me to explore those feelings allowed me to peel back the layers I had built around them for so long. Your patience and insight created a safe space where I felt empowered to be vulnerable, and that day marked a significant turning point for me.
I grasped concepts I had previously struggled with, and for the first time, I felt a sense of clarity that I had thought was unreachable. Your ability to listen without judgment and thoughtful questions have often led me to insights I would never have discovered on my own.
You've taught me that growth is not linear but a series of breakthroughs and setbacks, each Contributing to my overall progress. I now appreciate the importance of celebrating small victories, thanks to your Guidance.
As I continue on this path of self-discovery and healing, I carry the lessons I've learned from you in my heart. Am truly grateful for the Impact you have made on my life. Warmest regards
I’d like to take a moment to speak about someone who has truly made a difference in my life — my counsellor Shadi!
When I was going through one of my lowest points, she was there — not just to listen, but to really hear me. She didn’t just nod or offer quick advice; she gave her time, her care, and her genuine concern. There were days when I felt lost, but she helped me find clarity again.
What I appreciate most about her is that she’s your go-to person — the one you can trust completely, knowing you won’t go wrong. She has this rare balance of kindness and firmness; she can be stern, but always in a good way. It’s the kind of tough love that pushes you to see your worth, to grow, and to get to a better place within yourself.
Through her guidance, I’ve learned that healing doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right support, it does happen. She helped me rebuild my confidence, my peace, and most importantly, my hope.
So today, I just want to say — thank you. Thank you for your patience, your honesty, your strength, and your heart. You’ve helped me more than words can express, and I’ll always be grateful for the part you’ve played in my journey.
You truly are someone special — the kind of counsellor who changes lives for the better.
Thank you!
Thank you Shadi for today's session, I feel lighter and renew. You made me understand something I didn't know. Most importantly you have taught me something about prayer. Thank my sister in Christian may God keep on blessing you and your family for doing his work unapologetically. Thank you Sthandwa sam🥰🥰🥰🫂
Hi Shadi, I was hoping to share this feedback when we all met in person but wanted to take a moment to truly thank you and acknowledge the person you are and the impact you have on our business.
Your work ethic, compassion, and professionalism are unmatched. What stands out most is your genuine passion for helping people. It’s not just a job to you — you care, deeply, and it shows in every interaction you have with our clients.
You consistently go above and beyond: whether it’s adjusting your schedule to support clients outside traditional hours, stepping in on wellness days, or delivering presentations with confidence and heart. You have never once hesitated to assist when asked, and that willingness is something I value tremendously.
Your communication is always clear and efficient, and your responsiveness gives us confidence that our clients are in safe, capable hands. You bring steadiness, empathy, and reliability — qualities that make you an irreplaceable part of the EAP team.
Thank you for everything you do, and for who you are. You are a valued and critical part of Headspace, and I am genuinely grateful to have you as part of our team. 🙏🏻
