I moved to New Zealand from Iran about 30 years ago. I pursued an academic career and completed a PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Otago in 2004, and studied epigenetics in last two decades.
In the past decade I have studied practical philosophy and practice yoga and meditation to explore Eastern approaches to inner transformation. By these practices I have found my path to true freedom and learned to live a happier fullfilled life.
As a migrant who lived in different countries (Germany and Australia), I have great understanding regarding the problems and challenges that migrants face when they start their new life in a new country. While working with migrants and refugees in Auckland, I gained extensive experience counselling them. I incorporate culturally based intervention in my practice. My own cultural challenges when moving to NZ helped me to have better understanding of my clients’ needs and challenges. I have experienced many challenges as child, adolesent and during my early adulthood while lived in Iran. Those challenges let me develop skills to be able to support my clients today.
My work at universities in different countries also gave me the great advantage to understand the pressure in an academic environment from both the lecturer and students’ perspective. Therefore, I can relate to the stress, anxiety and pressure imposed in an academic environment and help my clients accordingly.
My passion to research trauma and understand how it may affect every individual's life have made me a trauma informed therapist.
I am provisionally registered by New Zealand Association of Counselling (NZAC).
