As a Pakistani woman, it meant so much to have a therapist who truly understood the cultural and religious context I come from. I didn’t have to explain or justify the complexities of family life, expectations, or the quiet pressures we often carry—Gul-e-Rana just got it. That kind of understanding made me feel deeply seen and supported.
Through our sessions, she helped me unpack my stress and find healthier ways to navigate my challenges. Her approach was kind, compassionate, and grounded. I never felt judged or rushed—just gently guided toward healing, one step at a time.

Therapy with Gul has been life-changing. I started feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to handle my stress and anxiety. I had felt like I had no one to talk to and no where to turn, I wanted to break from this cycle of constant anxiety. From our first session, I felt heard and understood. Rooh therapy created a safe space where I could explore my feelings and experiences without judgment.
Being in therapy I have learned different coping strategies to deal with my triggers. Gul’s patience and guidance has encouraged me to make major changes in my life for the better. I’ve improved communication skills with my partner and my parents. Being culturally Indian I found it difficult to communicate with my family but with therapy I was able to work on the best way to do so. My relationships have blossomed and become so much healthier.
My experience at Rooh Therapy has been transformative and deeply rewarding. If you are hesitant about starting therapy due to privacy concerns or you are afraid to be emotionally vulnerable, Rooh offers a warm, private, and judgment-free environment. At Rooh, I have been able to openly discuss all aspects of my life with ease and honesty.
What I especially value about Rooh is Gul-e Rana's ability to help me articulate my thoughts and feelings. Often, I struggle to fully understand my reactions to different situations and have difficulties expressing those feelings clearly. However, with Gul-e Rana’s insightful guidance, I’ve gained a clearer understanding of these emotions, broken them down, drawn conclusions from them, and developed plans for positive change in my life.
