Yalda Cassidy Counselling

- Psychotherapist, BPsych., MA Counselling

Many people worry that counselling requires revisiting childhood experiences or past trauma to be effective. While past experiences may come up during therapy, they are not always necessary to delve into in detail in order to find peace and fulfilment in the present. Every individual’s journey is unique, and the focus of therapy is guided by your personal needs, situation, and preferred approach.

I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential, allowing us to explore challenges openly and honestly, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

My areas of expertise include:

✔ Trauma & Anxiety

– Navigating the impact of past experiences and managing associated stress

✔ Neurodivergence & Self Care

– Understanding practical self care that stems from a deeper understanding of self and own needs.

✔ Relationships & Sexual Health

– Understanding intimacy, sexuality, and connection. This includes all areas of sexual anxieties and struggles such as sexual identity, addictions, fetishes, libido differences etc.

✔ Identity & Wellbeing

– Finding inner harmony as well as fulfilling connections at work, in the family, or social life.

I believe that every individual has strengths and values that can guide them toward a fulfilling life. My flexible and inclusive approach ensures that people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds feel supported in their counselling journey. Together, we can work towards discovering your potential and creating a happier, more meaningful life.
