Testimonials
-
“Rania is an excellent listener. She is very attentive and understanding of my needs. She goes above and beyond and sends resources, techniques, and inspiration on days outside of regular sessions that keep practices and ideas discussed top of mind. What I've found to be most beneficial is the practice of mindfulness and grounding; and the understanding of trauma and the Polyvagal theory which has helped to give me insight into my learned behaviors and the coping mechanisms that I've developed over time. I feel very fortunate to have found Rania and always look forward to my sessions with her."

"I had been seeing a psychologist before finding Collaborative Conversations Counselling, but after speaking with Rania during our first session, I made the decision to switch without hesitation. Rania provided a safe space, loads of knowledge, and most importantly, zero judgement about my situation. She is understanding, open minded, personable, kind hearted, and incredibly gifted. She is committed to her clients, and genuinely cares about their well being and progress. I've been to a handful of different counsellors, and can honestly say that my experience with Collaborative Conversations Counselling made the biggest difference in my life. Rania provides more than just "talk therapy." During our sessions we went through breathing exercises, journaling prompts for the following weeks, meditation exercises, positive self-talk exercises and more. I traveled to Calgary and completed an in person ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) session with Rania. It was such a powerful session and I believe can be extremely beneficial for people suffering from PTSD related to the pandemic. Thank you Rania. You are truly wonderful."

"When I first started my sessions with Rania, I was an extremely guarded person who was conditioned to suppress emotions. I was so broken and damaged but I was always good at putting on a façade. Rania was able to see through all of that disguise and help me work through the key components that were contributing to my current struggle. I learned skills to help me deal with emotions as they came. "
