Yassi | Transpersonal Integrative Psychotherapist

 

I am passionate about my work as a psychotherapist and I would be honoured to accompany you on your journey of self-reflection, transformation and freedom from pain and suffering. 

My therapy room is a safe and non-judgmental space where you will be met with warmth, openness and compassion. I facilitate my client's journey into uncovering their true self and transcending their difficulties by gaining a new and more meaningful perspective of their life story. We work together towards discovery and fulfillment of client's potentialities and aim to align their lives with their soul nature and heart desires.

The transpersonal integrative modality is at the core of my practice. I believe that we are all essentially spiritual beings and that there is much more meaning and depth to existence than the eye can see, and our minds can comprehend. I carry the optimistic and positive attitude of the transpersonal approach into my practice, trusting that a higher purpose, an invitation for growth can be identified even in the midst of the darkest most painful experiences of life. The belief that symptoms are symbols, looking at pain with curiosity, and wondering what particular quality or change this particular challenge or even life crisis is calling forth in my client.

I use Zoom for online sessions. My work environment is a safe and confidential space where no one else can see or hear the session. I also ask my clients to honour this requirement and make sure they are also in a space where they feel safe and where the material they share can't be heard or recorded. I strive to have high speed internet connection and a fully functioning device but in an inevitable situation where there are technical difficulties, I will call my client via a secure stable landline phone to carry on the session on the phone.

I have completed a comprehensive course on offering counselling online to make sure I adhere to all ethical standards and safety requirements. Sessions last for 50 minutes and are offered on a regular weekly basis.

Holistic Approach

Creativity is at the core of my therapy work. I specially enjoy working with dreams, drawing, facilitating imagery through body work, creative imagination, and expressions through breath and sound. These interventions work as a bridge to bypass the limitations of the mind, opening up to infinite possibilities held in the realm of imagery and symbolism. The awareness and clarity gained by these creative mediums are integral to the process of psycho-spiritual healing and transformation.

Above all, I work in a relational way. In my view, the foundation and most essential ingredient for any therapeutic work is the trusting alliance and connection between myself and my clients. This trust and ease in relationship is attained through a consistent experience of my reliability, empathic listening, full presence, and a genuine interest, care and love I hold for my clients. In time, clients come to the empowering realization that they, themselves, are true experts of their life journey as we explore and discover what lies ahead on their path.

I have extended experience working with anxiety, anger management, chronic fatigue, loss of meaning and purpose in life, relationship issues and lack of self-esteem. My particular interest and area of expertise is working with co-dependency, alcoholism and belonging.

If you feel drawn to my way of working, do get in touch. I would love to hear from you.

Please note I offer therapy in English and Persian (Farsi spoken in Iran).

With Love, 

Yassi
