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.
When I first enquired about counselling, I was a complete mess. At the time I felt like I was at the bottom of a very deep, dark hole. I was depressed, I wasn’t sleeping, and my marriage was in tatters. I had zero self-esteem or self-confidence. I felt alone, scared and at my lowest. I was completely unable to make decision; I was suffering from panic attacks, anxiety and could not see a way forward. I was experiencing dark thoughts and thought my life was worth nothing. I was also trying to keep some normality for the sake of my children. Life was hard and a bit of a nightmare! When I looked in the mirror, I didn’t see me anymore.
When I met my counsellor Shadi, I wasn’t sure if counselling could help me, but I had nowhere else to go. The first few sessions where difficult and painful, I think I spent most of that time crying after the sessions. But as each session passed, I began to understand why I was feeling the way I was. Together we found solutions to why I felt the way I did. As something new surfaced, Shadi would adjust my counselling and we tackled everything together. Sometimes I would bring issues that I thought was insignificant, but it turned out to be a big part of my puzzle!
I have always felt safe and happy at counselling. I felt comfortable and in good hands. She has always been professional and kind to me. I feel positive, independent, completely empowered, my self-esteem and confidence are much improved. All my relationships are much better, and I am so proud of what has been achieved. I have the life I want and deserve.
After 2 months of counselling, I feel so much better. Life is good and I feel like me again. Shadi has never judged me or made me feel uncomfortable. Instead, she has supported me and facilitated my journey beautifully. I am so grateful and pleased I made the decision to call. Throughout my counselling, I have had little deviations and felt scared of going backwards, but Shadi has taught me how to manage my feelings and not to ignore them. I have the tools and confidence to move forward.
