TASNEEM KASSAM, MA, RCC
face to face and online counselling
Services
Practicing from a client centred orientation, I use a number of different evidence based techniques in my approach. I believe each individual is ultimately the expert on themselves and therefore focus on collaboration through this process. This flexible approach enables me to customize the counselling experience to each individual's needs and goals. No single theory works for everyone.
