Meet Safa Shoaib A.K.A The Holistic Edvisor

Harvard, Ed.M. (Masters) Candidate | College Counselor | Life Coach | Global Education & College Access Advocate
“I possess over eight years of experience in college counseling, having served at several secondary institutions before eventually formally launching The Holistic Edvisor, a boutique college counseling firm based in Karachi, Pakistan. I am a passionate college access advocate with extensive experience supporting low-income, first-generation, and international students, all in the service of facilitating global intellectual exchange. With a College Counseling Certification from Teachers College, Columbia University, NLP coaching credentials under the ANLP umbrella, and an undergraduate degree in English Literature from LUMS, I seek to reimagine the counseling profession in the Pakistani context, from counselor to destiny bender, trajectory transformer, and opportunity enabler.”

I really appreciate how there was a deliberate effort made to involve the parents in the counselling process every step of the way. Meetings were arranged with parents and Emaan informed me of Ms. Safa's mindful measures to make the college application process engaging for Emaan, giving her the counselling she needed especially since she had no older siblings or relatives who had applied abroad before.

I felt the approach took into account Humaira’s particular strengths and weaknesses and accommodated her specific goals. I am extremely grateful for the support that has been offered by Holistic. Safa and her team have been extremely proactive in resolving any concerns or queries.

Professional and personalised attention to the student’s needs and preferences and thorough explanation of the available options. Really happy and satisfied with the process and outcome so far.
