Mehdi Nasrin is a Registered Psychotherapist with a Ph.D. in Philosophy and an M.A. in Counselling Psychology. He has also completed a two-year certificate in Trauma and Addiction Recovery Studies. Mehdi has extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families and offers a range of therapeutic modules and interventions, including EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Jungian-Informed Therapy, and DBT. He also provides dream interpretation within a Jungian conceptual framework. Mehdi believes that we are all in a continuous process of identifying our internal resources, embracing our own creativity, and mobilizing our psychic energy. His aim in therapy is to help clients develop a personal yet structured and novel understanding of themselves, others, and the world around them. He invites clients to enrich their personal narratives and use their own unique abilities and skills. Each session is a collaborative attempt to elaborate on the client’s mental map, and each conversation is a mutual dialogue on how clients could experience themselves differently. Mehdi extensively uses philosophical and existential ideas and insights in his counselling practice.
