Bela Khan
Head of Learning and Development & Counselor
I empower people to move past their challenges and find growth opportunities in suffering. Pain, discomfort and distress teach us what ease and comfort can never teach.
My training and experience have exposed me to various therapeutic modalities that I integrate into my practice to provide a holistic approach to healing. Therefore, my approach is eclectic, and I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” model for every human being. Every individual is unique, and so are his/her strengths and challenges. This uniqueness calls for an individualized treatment plan.
I provide a safe space where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours without any fear of judgement. Working together in a therapeutic setting, I empower them to find happiness and peace by working on meaningful goals in their lives, including (but not limited to) their purpose, relationships, spirituality and, of course, pain and suffering. All this culminates in being able to lead a more meaningful life.
My inspiration comes from Quran and Sunnah.

Zarina Hassem
Counselor
My personal core philosophy as a counsellor is to assist people to understand their true nature as the wonderful creation of Allah swt. By recognizing the full human experience with both its positive and negative, in relation to our status as the creation of Almighty Allah, I believe that individuals, couples and families are able to come to a point of effective coping. I also agree with the humanistic concepts of self-growth, potential and actualization and it brings me joy to be able to witness clients striving to reach their own potential and accepting themselves in a healthy way.
