Saquib is an excellent therapist who actively listens and tries his utter most best to tackle the issues at hand. He is rational in his way of thinking and I highly recommend him.

Best trauma therapist I've ever had! I feel completely free to share and space has been held for me by my therapist. The techniques and skills I have gained from the sessions have been life changing. I started my journey with Fighting Fear last year at a wellness seminar in Chiang Mai, Thailand and I have since continued online sessions every week. It's has really helped me through a lot

So far, it has been an incredibly good experience. Helping me to deal with anxiety, ongoing and past trauma.
