UPDATE: July 2024, I am now accepting clients. Hello, my name is Pouria, and I am a registered psychotherapist (Qualifying). My personal journey and years of volunteer work led me to find my calling and transition from an environmental engineer to a therapist.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, existential issues, transitioning, relationship issues, ADHD, and sexual identity.

Imagine, you’ve been working for 15+ years and you’re unhappy in your career. You’re about to turn 40 and you don’t understand why this dissatisfaction has been following you in every single job you’ve ever held. You might even wonder if there’s something wrong with you? (FYI - no nothing is wrong with you).

Therapy doesn't have to be intimidating or shameful. Whether you can't stop thinking about something, never feel good enough, or constantly compare yourself to others, I am here to help. If you are navigating dissociation or flashbacks, struggling with forming your identity or developing meaning in life, I can provide DBT & Trauma informed therapy. Or maybe you're looking for support with leaving a toxic job or relationship, trying to decrease the inner critic and perfectionism, or struggle with focusing and completing a task. Understanding our unconscious motivations and defence mechanisms can also be revealing character work.
