About Rukhsana Fazal
Counsellor. Educator.
Certified terrain advocate.
A career built on listening and service.
I have been working as a counsellor and supporting individuals and families for over 25 years. Fifteen of those years were spent in a community setting in Kingston upon Thames, UK — developing community services and providing a professional, non-judgemental, and confidential support platform for people from all backgrounds.
For the past 11 years I have been working between the UK and Islamabad, supporting individuals and families, setting up charity projects empowering women through skills training and education, lecturing in Psychology at college level, and training as a Pilates instructor. My practice is not-for-profit in the truest sense — all consultation earnings go directly to support empowering widows and educating their children.
My Goal
My Values
The experience that
changed everything.
This work led to
- Certified Terrain Advocate — Metabolic Institute of Health
- Cancer terrain consultations alongside counselling
- The forthcoming book — The Cancer Terrain
I never set out to work in cancer support. But life had other plans — and they turned out to be the most meaningful ones.
