## About

Mental wellbeing is deeply personal, and I believe therapy should provide a space where individuals feel understood, emotionally safe, and able to reconnect with themselves through honesty, self\-awareness, and compassion\. I’m a Counseling Psychologist and Functional Nutritionist offering online psychotherapy through “Beyond The Mind" by Iffat Shaikh, where I integrate psychotherapy and functional nutrition to support holistic psychological wellbeing\. I work with college students, young adults, and working professionals experiencing: • Stress and anxiety • Overthinking and emotional burnout • Self\-esteem concerns • Relationship and interpersonal difficulties • Academic and workplace stress • Grief, loss, and life transitions • Personal growth and self\-exploration My work is informed by CBT, REBT, DBT, humanistic approaches, and an eclectic therapeutic style tailored to each individual’s emotional needs, lived experiences, and therapeutic goals\. Where appropriate, I also integrate principles of functional nutrition to support the connection between emotional wellbeing, lifestyle, physiology, and mental health through a more holistic and root\-cause\-informed perspective\. As an early\-career therapist practicing under professional supervision, I deeply value ethical care, reflective practice, and ongoing learning to ensure clients receive thoughtful, responsible, and psychologically safe support\. My goal is to help individuals better understand themselves, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop healthier ways of relating to their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and lived experiences\. I currently offer online consultations for individuals who are genuinely committed to self\-understanding, emotional growth, and meaningful change\. 📍 Online Sessions Languages: English, Hindi, Urdu 📩 To book a session or connect professionally: WhatsApp: \+91 9323865521 Email: iffat\.shaikh@protonmail\.com
