She has supported individuals with various concerns such as: trauma_and_posttraumatic_stress_disorder_ptsd, relationship and intergenerational challenges, spirituality and culture, addictive behaviours, anxiety, depression, and stress/burnout-related issues. Asma’s therapeutic approach is collaborative, non-judgemental, anti oppressive, and trauma_and_posttraumatic_stress_disorder_ptsd-informed. It honours the client’s own wisdom regarding their emotional and life experiences. Asma incorporates a systemic lens in her practice to explore how broader systems such as society, culture, and family shape our individual experiences and our relationship with the self. With the therapeutic relationship as a safety anchor for the client to reconnect with their inner wisdom and self, Asma draws from different modalities that match the client’s needs and goals, such as narrative_therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), cognitive_processing_therapy_cpt, , Somatic Therapy, Feminist Therapy, and internal_family_systems_ifs, s.
