Coach Maryam, SMHS

Coach
Maryam's coaching philosophy is deeply inward-focused, prioritizing the reconnection with one's authentic self to counter the pressures of societal conformity. She emphasizes helping clients "unmask" in safe, affirming environments and works to reframe maladaptive thoughts through kindness, awareness, and self-acceptance.
Her methodology is highly practical and client-centered, utilizing strategies like habit stacking (building routines to reduce cognitive demand) and bottom-up strategy (breaking complex demands into manageable pieces).
She incorporates her own lived experience with neurodivergence into her coaching, which she believes allows her to provide empathetic, highly relevant guidance.
