She has a therapeutic balance of providing a non-judgmental environment within a professional evidence-based framework. Kishwar believes the core of effective therapy is akin to emotional hygiene as evident in the resolution of personal issues, improved clarity and insight, an improved ability to cope and when appropriate ensuring on-going psychological intervention.
Kishwar and her husband are avid campers and travelers and their next yet-to-be confirmed destination is to explore his historical Irish roots with their young family.
