“As a professional peer consultant, Noor was an enormous support during my second year, interning as a therapist at a private practice. He brings a deep intuition that helped me recognize and hold my own fears and protective parts that arose in me with certain clients. He carries a wide and long history across many kinds of clients, and I benefited from his vast experience. He helped me understand that I can choose the clients I work with, and that developing preferences for where I'm most effective is not only okay but wise.

His most significant contribution was helping me discover my growth edge: how some clients' dysregulation impacts my ability to be present. And my fear of being honest with these clients in the moment. He modeled and supported me about how to be real about what was happening in the room, and how to talk about their dysregulation, anger, or frustration, which is what they are probably needing the most. He helped me shift from 'what should I do now?' to 'here is what is happening for me' — moving out of my head and into presence.

Noor's experience spans IFS, somatics, existential exploration, and interpersonal communication. His years as a student of NVC create a rare platform for connecting with clients quickly, cleanly, and deeply.

He understands how to hold power WITH clients — fully present in immediacy, saying things like 'I'm sensing hesitation' or 'I hear what you want, and I think this might serve you even more.' He is direct and assertive, while simultaneously deeply compassionate and curious. That combination gave me both permission and lived experience to bring those same qualities to my own clients — and the depth and impact of my sessions grew because of it.

Working with Noor didn't just improve my skills — it changed how I show up in the room. That kind of influence doesn't fade. I am a more honest, more present, more effective therapist because of Noor.”
