Nasim is a compassionate and highly skilled certified clinical psychoanalytical psychotherapist and counsellor, specialising in the intersection of mental health, social justice, and trauma-informed care.

Detailed Description:

Nasim is an experienced clinician and interdisciplinary thinker and educator whose practice reflects the intersection of psychology, law, education, and human rights. Her academic foundation in women’s forensic law informs her trauma-informed approach, particularly when working with survivors of domestic violence and individuals navigating complex social systems. With a focus on empowerment and self-agency, Nasim brings both clinical depth and systemic awareness into her sessions.

She is particularly passionate about working with adults with ADHD, helping clients develop insight, self-compassion, and practical strategies for emotional regulation and executive functioning. Nasim also supports individuals on their journey of psychosocial recovery, encouraging growth through reflective practices, trauma resolution, and identity reintegration. Her approach honours the narratives and emotional truths of each client, offering a safe space for meaning-making, transformation, and healing.

Her clinical work focuses on supporting adults navigating neurodiversity (particularly ADHD), grief and loss, sexual and domestic violence, trauma, and psychosocial recovery. Nasim works from a trauma-informed, person-centred framework and integrates a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Narrative Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Her therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of her clients’ lived experiences. Nasim’s work extends beyond the therapy room—she is also committed to lifelong education, social advocacy, and community support. Whether she’s providing one-on-one therapy or recovery coaching, Nasim’s interdisciplinary lens and trauma-informed methods create pathways for sustainable psychological well-being and empowerment.
