Hi, I’m Parnian

I’m a certified Counselor and Coach offering trauma-informed, holistic support for people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected from self, or stuck in patterns they want to change.

I help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, reconnect with your mind and body, and translate insights into meaningful changes in your life and relationships.

Learn How
person feeling lost, stuck, disconnected, searching for clarity and guidance

You Might Be Here Because

❖You often get stuck overthinking and replaying situations

❖Emotions overwhelm you, and you don't know why or what to do.

❖You can't slow down; when you try, your mind races and your body tenses.

❖You’re mostly healthy but often tired, low on energy, tense, or uneasy

❖You notice repeating behavior and relationship patterns you want to change, but don’t know how

❖You aim for perfection but feel exhausted, burned out, or stuck

❖You put others first, then feel burned out and unseen

❖You’re hard on yourself, frustrated by recurring struggles, and pressuring yourself to fix them

❖You appear fine and capable, but inside, you feel lost, disconnected, and uncertain

If any of these sound familiar, you don’t have to navigate them alone.

Together, We Will

❖Get to know your authentic self with curiosity and compassion

❖Develop clarity around your emotions and where they come from

❖Learn how to respond rather than react, even in challenging situations

❖Build a more regulated and trusting relationship with your body

❖Identify your needs and values and take aligned, confident steps forward

self-reflection, insight into thoughts, feelings, behaviors

This isn’t about fixing yourself, but about reconnecting with your innate capacity for balance, regulation, and well-being.

Testimonials


  • “The space Parnian created between us always made me feel safe, seen and heard. I never felt judged and that made it very easy for me to open up to her. I began the coaching wanting to be able to be more in touch with my emotions especially in relation to other people in friendships and romantic relationships. I feel a much bigger trust in my own ability to recognise my own feelings and needs in relationships. When previously I would have been scared to address how I am feeling, Parnian has given me tools to be able to face my emotions with less fear and more confidence. Additionally, I already notice in myself more ease in being able to express these feelings and needs to other people, which was something I have found difficult in the past. I recognise that it’s not a quick fix and requires a lot of practice but Parnian has helped me start this process and made me feel like it is something I can do.”

  • “Parnian was very understanding and I always felt listened to and that it was an accessible space for both of us. As a result of our sessions together, I am far far better at self-care practices and articulating my own boundaries in personal and social relationships. The setting of boundaries has enabled me to move beyond a state of burnout into a healthier work/life balance. I have also learned to be kinder to myself and listen to all of the parts of myself that need time.”

    R.

  • “Sessions with Parnian were always very fruitful and offered me new perspectives on how to work on myself. She made me feel seen and understood and used a somatic approach to help me stay grounded and focused on my goals. I strongly recommend her to anyone who feels they need a safe space to grow and reconnect with themselves.”

    G.

  • "Having sessions with Parnian was quite challenging at first since it was my first time in counselling, and opening up didn’t come easily to me. However, as sessions passed, the process became easier. Parnian was empathetic, understanding, and a great listener. With her help, I faced some of my biggest fears and overcame significant challenges, like setting boundaries at work. On a personal level, her guidance also gave me the courage to open my heart and building my desired romantic relationship."
