Clinician Profile

Ayan Abdirahman

Registered Provisional Psychologist

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, providing individualized support for a range of emotional, behavioural, and life challenges.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), while integrating evidence-based approaches and interventions from Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and other therapeutic modalities when appropriate.

I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel heard, understood, and actively involved in the process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I work collaboratively with each client to understand their experiences, identify meaningful goals, build practical skills, and create lasting changes that extend beyond the therapy room.
