Hello, I’m Nas, short for Nasanin—a name dear to me – but understand it can be challenging for people to get their tongue around – so Nas is fine! When I was 7, my family migrated to Germany from Iran due to the turmoil of war. Growing up as a migrant child, I faced the challenge of adapting to a new country, language, and culture, which shaped my early years profoundly. Leaving my homeland of Iran due to the ravages of war meant saying goodbye not just to a place but to everything familiar and beloved. The journey to Germany was daunting—learning a new language, navigating a foreign culture, and missing my loved ones dearly. These early experiences of upheaval and adaptation profoundly shaped my understanding of resilience and the human spirit.
I have learned firsthand the complexities of cultural adjustment and the emotional rollercoaster of rebuilding one’s life in a new land. My journey has cultivated in me a deep empathy and commitment to walking alongside others in their quest for healing and empowerment.
Throughout my journey, I was fortunate to encounter strong women and mentors who taught me the power of perspective and embracing new beginnings. Gratitude became my guiding light, nurturing my spirituality and deepening my appreciation for life’s possibilities. Despite the initial hardships, those experiences became a wellspring of resilience and insight that now enriches my work as a trauma therapist.
My path to social work began through supporting individuals and families navigating similar upheavals caused by war and turmoil. This deep connection led me to embrace social work as a gateway to therapeutic practice.
Over the years, I’ve gathered stories of resilience and hope that have touched and shaped me significantly. Through them, I’ve discovered my true self and developed an open-hearted, compassionate approach to my work. In my practice, I specialise in understanding trauma and loss and empowering women through transitions.
I believe in lifelong learning and healing—I meditate, undergo therapy myself (a must for every therapist!), practice Reiki, and cherish the companionship of my dog and meaningful human connections.
I believe life is about paying attention and living in the present moment. I embrace it, look after, and nourish all that I have been blessed with, as well as all those whom I have the pleasure and privilege of working with
