Husna practises from a person-centred, strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming perspective. She believes that counselling should provide a safe, respectful and non-judgemental space where individuals can explore their experiences without feeling pressured to fit a particular expectation of how they should think, feel or communicate. Her approach is collaborative and responsive to each client’s individual needs, strengths, communication preferences and personal goals.

Her areas of professional interest include emotional wellbeing, emotional awareness and regulation, self-esteem, adjustment and life transitions, interpersonal and relationship concerns, social-emotional development and neurodiversity. With her background in both education and counselling, Husna is particularly mindful of how developmental, learning, communication, relational and environmental factors may influence a person’s emotional wellbeing and experiences.

When working with children and young people, Husna incorporates developmentally appropriate, creative and visual approaches where beneficial, while respecting each individual’s preferred ways of communicating and engaging. She also values collaboration with families and other professionals when appropriate to provide more holistic support.

Husna is committed to ongoing professional development and reflective practice as she continues to expand her clinical experience within a multidisciplinary mental health setting.

Above all, she aims to meet clients with curiosity, compassion and respect, supporting them in developing greater self-understanding and discovering meaningful ways of navigating challenges that align with their individual needs and values.
