Understanding Nada's Roles: Therapy, Mediation, and Consulting
Nada wears several professional hats - And she wants to make sure its clear how each one works so you know exactly what to expect when you work with her.
Therapy / Counselling:
In therapy sessions, she is your licensed therapist, here to provide a safe, confidential space for you to explore challenges, process trauma, and build resilience. These sessions focus entirely on your personal growth and healing.
Mediation:
As a trained Mediator, she guides individuals or groups toward constructive resolutions in conflicts, whether in family matters or workplace disputes. In this role, she is neutral and does not provide therapy or personal advice. Mediation is about facilitating dialogue and agreements — not treating trauma.
Consulting / Organizational Support:
Through her consulting services, she helps organizations create inclusive, equitable, and psychologically safe workplaces. These sessions are educational and strategic, focused on policy, systems, and culture change — not personal therapy.
Why this matters:
Keeping these roles distinct ensures your privacy, protects ethical boundaries, and clarifies expectations. Whether you are seeking therapy, mediation, or consulting, her goal is always to provide expert support while maintaining professional clarity.
— whether that’s for one person, a family, or an entire organization.
