Ayesha A. Awan

Hi. I’m Ayesha A. Awan, a psychotherapist based in Lahore, Pakistan. I’ve been working as a therapist for over six years. My approach is client-centered, inclusive, and compassion based. I seek to meet clients where they are, understand their unique perspectives and identities, and adjust my therapeutic interventions to their needs. My priority is to create a safe space for clients, one where they feel validated without judgment. I view myself as a guide and collaborator in the process of healing and change. I believe all clients have inherent resources within themselves, and it is through cultivating a deep connection with themselves that they can initiate a process of healing and enhance their sense of well-being. In terms of modalities, I integrate humanistic, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness approaches in my therapy. I received my training at Teachers College, Columbia University, USA where I completed an Ed.M. in Mental Health Counseling. I’ve also completed the IFS Level 1 training. I work with clients 16+ years of age in-person and online through both short and long-term modalities on a range of concerns.
