Two PhDs. Over 25 years of combined experience. Clients from more than 150 countries. Mimi and Maryam bring deep expertise — and the lived experience of immigrants who found their footing in Canada — to every conversation about career, education, and what comes next.
Who we are
consult4solutions was founded by two longstanding colleagues who share a vision: that continuous learning and growth — for themselves and for those around them — is what makes a life well-lived. That shared conviction became the foundation for everything they do.
Between them, Mimi and Maryam have spent over 25 years working with individuals, groups, and families from more than 150 countries, helping people navigate career transitions, educational decisions, and the broader questions that arise at life's crossroads. Their experience spans diverse, multicultural settings, with particular depth in supporting students, youth, and international newcomers.
Both are immigrants to Canada. Their own journeys — the challenges, the breakthroughs, the gradual sense of belonging — have given them an understanding of what it truly means to rebuild, adapt, and find one's footing in a new place. This perspective is woven into how they show up for every client.
Through consult4solutions, they share knowledge and insights supported by concrete examples and grounded guidance — so that others may navigate life equipped with the know-how and clarity they deserve.
Mimi brings warmth, scholarly rigour, and years of frontline experience working with international students and newcomers. Her background across management, sociology, and career development gives her a uniquely broad lens for navigating professional and life-path challenges.
Maryam combines academic training in management and social work with her registration as a psychotherapist, offering clients a rare blend of strategic guidance and emotional attunement. Her practice is especially valued by those navigating complex life transitions.
What we offer
Available as single sessions or ongoing engagements — for individuals, families, students, and organisations. No hidden fees.
Whether you're entering the workforce, changing industries, or returning after a break — we help you clarify your direction, identify opportunities, and build a strategy that fits your life and context.
Navigating programs, institutions, and credentials can be overwhelming. We offer personalised, structured guidance — from choosing a path to understanding what it takes to succeed once you're there.
Some decisions don't fit neatly into "career" or "education." We work with individuals and families on the bigger questions — transition, identity, belonging, and finding clarity when the path ahead feels uncertain.
Drawing on their own immigrant journeys, Mimi and Maryam offer culturally sensitive, deeply informed support to international students and newcomers building a new life in Canada.
