"Counselling helped me understand my triggers and learn techniques—like grounding and breathing exercises—that keep me calm during anxiety and panic. Even my friends noticed the positive change and reminded me to use what I learned. Although my sessions were sometimes interrupted because of my mental health, counselling encouraged me to keep seeking help and not give up. Working with the counsellor made the process easier, as I didn’t have to explain my cultural background, and speaking some Urdu brought comfort. Most importantly, counselling gave me the courage to pursue happiness."
