Meet Rashin
Rashin Heydari-Alamdari
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), CRPO #21595
Rashin offers individual and couples psychotherapy. She supports clients with anxiety, emotional regulation, self-esteem and identity concerns, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the impact of past experiences.
She offers care in English and Farsi/Persian, both in person and virtually. Language-matched care is specific to Rashin, not the whole practice. Read abouttherapy in Farsi/Persian.
Her style is warm, collaborative, and person-centred. Sessions make room to understand recurring emotions, relationships, experiences, and patterns without using one fixed approach for every client.
In session
A collaborative approach shaped around each client.
Rashin works with clients to understand the patterns, relationships, emotions, and experiences connected to what they are bringing to therapy. Depending on the client's needs, sessions may include practical coping strategies, emotion regulation, or exploration of recurring emotional and relational patterns.
Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, parts work, experiential approaches, emotion regulation strategies, and attachment- and relationship-informed perspectives.
Areas of support
Individual and couples support for emotional and relational concerns.
Self-esteem and identity
Space to explore self-criticism, identity concerns, strengths, and the experiences shaping how you relate to yourself.
Relationships and couples
Collaborative work around relationship challenges, recurring patterns, attachment, communication, and emotional connection.
Life transitions and past experiences
Support while making sense of changing roles, difficult experiences, and patterns that continue to affect the present.
Neurodiversity-affirming care
Experience supporting children, youth, and families.
Rashin brings five years of clinical experience in Applied Behaviour Analysis, supporting neurodivergent children, youth, and families. This background informs her commitment to neurodiversity-affirming, culturally responsive, and non-pathologizing care.
Applied Behaviour Analysis is part of Rashin's prior clinical experience. Her psychotherapy approach is integrative and person-centred, using the modalities listed below according to each client's needs and preferences.
