WESTMINSTER’S LEADERSHIP

…

Mrs. Eyesha Raheel Khan,

Founder and Director

Head of Counselling Dept.

As the Director of Westminster Academy Islamabad, I am deeply committed to our institution’s core values of inclusive and holistic education. With extensive experience and unwavering dedication, I hold dual responsibilities: overseeing the school and leading the Counseling Department.  

Key Contributions: 

Founding the Counseling Department: I established our counseling services, recognizing their pivotal role in students’ holistic development. My vision was clear: personalized attention for every learner. 

Hands-On Approach: I actively engage with students, ensuring they receive guidance at every critical juncture. My commitment extends beyond mere titles; it’s about nurturing each student’s unique potential. 

Inclusivity and Fulfillment: Beyond accolades, I firmly believe that true fulfillment lies in understanding ourselves as human beings. I foster an inclusive environment where every student feels seen, heard, and valued. 

Mona Ali Zaib,
Guidance Counsellor

Every student has a unique story, and my goal is to help them write theirs with confidence. Through personalized counseling, I empower students to make informed academic and career decisions aligned with their skills, interests, and values.
With a strong foundation in career counseling, I have guided high school and university students through academic planning, college applications, and career exploration. As a Fulbright Scholar, I earned my Master’s in Counselor Education, Career Counseling from The Pennsylvania State University, equipping me to provide personalized support. My mission is to ensure every student—regardless of background—has the resources and confidence to make meaningful career decisions.

Key Contributions:

Career Exploration & College Guidance: I help students navigate career paths and college applications by uncovering their passions, values, and long-term goals. Through self-exploration, making career planning an exciting and empowering journey.

Making Career Decisions Less Stressful: Big career choices can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. I help students break things down into manageable steps, focus on what’s in their control, and approach their futures with confidence (and maybe a little less stress).

Saadia Shaukat,
Guidance Counsellor

Success comes from consistently practicing simple habits every day. Stay disciplined and focused on your goals, as your potential is limitless. Believe in yourself, and take the action necessary to fulfill your purpose. Remember that growth requires stepping out of your comfort zone.
With 9 years as a career counselor and 12 years in academia, I recognize the crucial role that guidance counselors play in helping students choose the right career path after higher education. My experience has fueled my passion for bridging the gap, assisting students in identifying their passions and selecting the right subject combinations. I guide them toward the right colleges and professions, ensuring they make informed choices for their future.

Key Contributions:

Discovering Hidden Strengths
As a career counselor, one of the primary responsibilities is exploring opportunities and guiding students through the process of identifying their true passions and core values. By having one-on-one discussions, I help students understand their skills, strengths, and areas of interest. This allows them to make informed decisions about the future and choose career paths that align with their personal goals.

Guiding Students Towards Success
A crucial part of the counseling process involves researching the best-fit colleges and programs that match each student’s profile. As a guidance counselor, I assist in profile building, ensuring students present themselves in the best light to potential institutions and employers. Additionally, setting realistic expectations and discussing actionable plans helps students stay focused and motivated while pursuing their academic and professional dreams.

Asma Rabab,

As a seasoned guidance counselor with over 16 years of experience, I am proud to serve at Westminster Academy Islamabad, guiding students through the pivotal stages of their academic and personal development. Over the years, I have played a critical role in helping students unlock their potential and achieve their aspirations. My journey has been filled with diverse opportunities—from college counseling and leadership development to mentoring students in overcoming challenges and shaping their life goals. Empowering young minds to thrive both academically and personally remains my unwavering commitment.

Key Contributions: 

Integrated Perspective: I believe education transcends the boundaries of the classroom. Extracurricular activities, global programs, and experiential learning opportunities are essential to shaping well-rounded individuals. On a personal level, I encourage students to take up holistic activities for advanced skills development, and introduce them to opportunities that allow them to serve their respective communities, and pursue personal growth outside traditional academics.

Empowerment and Advocacy: I am passionate about creating opportunities for students, from securing scholarships and financial aid to crafting strategic pathways for university placements.

With over seven years of experience in education, I have been in multiple roles—from teaching and subject leadership to college counseling, debate coaching, and even starting a volleyball team. My journey has been diverse, but my focus remains unwavering: empowering high school students to thrive both academically and personally. 

Key Contributions: 

Holistic Approach: I believe that education extends beyond textbooks. Extracurricular activities, projects, and societies play a crucial role in shaping well-rounded individuals. I have created and led numerous initiatives that bridge classroom learning with real-world application. 

Passion and Fulfillment: Life is too short for the typical. I encourage students to forge their own paths, chase their passions, and find fulfillment. Whether it’s through spirited debates, athletic pursuits, or community service, I emphasize the importance of living authentically.
