Meet Your Therapist

Hello my name is Tehreem Fatimah, I am a Master’s student completing my education at Yorkville University. I have been studying psychology and psychotherapy for the past 7 years of my life. I did an honours specialization in psychology followed by my current masters program. My interest in psychotherapy began from a very young age. As I grew older I knew that I wanted to help individuals live their best lives in a meaningful and sustainable way. I have always led my life by looking at the positives and leading with an optimistic perspective. Outside of work and my education, I love doing activities that make me feel fulfilled such as reading, watching plays, and baking.  

My Approach to Therapy 

My counselling approach is holistic, client-centred, and strengths-based. I believe that each individual has the capacity for growth and change, and I aim to support clients in recognizing and building on their existing strengths. Through a collaborative therapeutic process, I help individuals develop healthy coping strategies, increase self-awareness, strengthen resilience, and work toward meaningful and sustainable change. I like to utilize cognitive behavioural therapy with a mix of acceptance and commitment therapy to help individuals accept and posotively deal with negative and harmful thoughts while actively working towards shifting their thought process to help lead to positive change. 

I might be a good fit for your if: 

• You are looking for someone who leads with a narrative approach,

• You are looking for someone who can provide both a solution focused approach and allow you to lead the therapeutic process. 

• You are looking for someone who can understand the struggle of being an immigrant and balancing different cultural expectations. 

• You are looking for someone who can understand the struggles of being a university student.
