Our Story
Aligned Roots Counselling Services was born out of a profound desire to make mental health support accessible, affordable, and personalized. Our founder, Ajwa Rabbani, envisioned a place where individuals could find solace and support regardless of their location or circumstances.
Ajwa’s journey into counselling began with a deep passion for understanding the human mind and helping others navigate their mental health challenges. With years of experience and a commitment to continuous learning, she recognized a growing need for accessible mental health care, especially in an increasingly digital world. This realization inspired the creation of Aligned Roots Counselling Services.
Our Vision
Aligned Roots was founded on the principles of empathy, accessibility, and holistic care. Ajwa wanted to create a platform that not only provided professional therapy but did so in a way that respected the unique cultural and individual experiences of each client. By integrating evidence-based techniques with a deep understanding of cultural nuances, Aligned Roots aims to offer a more personalized and effective approach to mental health.
A significant part of our mission is to address the unique challenges faced by South Asian adolescents. Ajwa’s personal and professional experiences highlighted the cultural pressures and mental health stigmas that often prevent young people in these communities from seeking help. Aligned Roots is committed to providing a safe, understanding, and culturally sensitive environment where South Asian adolescents can explore their feelings, gain support, and build resilience.
