Hi, I am Munira Pittalwala. I am a Counselling Psychologist and I have been practicing in the mental health field for 10 years. I have my own counselling practice called ‘Out of the Box.’

I believe that as a counsellor I am empathetic, warm, non-judgmental, confident, patient and posses good communication skills which help me to establish a trustworthy, respectful, and successful relationship with my clients. I am strongly driven by and towards the work I get to do each day. I seek to help every individual that comes to me with zest, passion, and true intentions.

In our work together, we will explore your thinking/beliefs/emotional-behavioral responses and discover obstacles. We will use them to understand what life experiences have caused you to stay stuck in cycles that have brought you to therapy. Our work together includes addressing your core issues, depending on what your needs or desires are. We will focus on the present and past, to help you get to a better place emotionally and mentally. I empower and help people to adapt a flexible, healthy, balanced, rational approach and perspective leading to healthier behavioral / emotional responses.

I feel that structured, directive sessions, and implementing a variety of techniques have produced positive results and have opened lines of communication between me and my client. I approach things with my client at their required pace. I feel strongly that collaborative effort between the counsellor and the client are necessary for success and happiness. I work with my client as a team to help them heal and feel empowered enough to become the best version of themselves.
