Tooba Fatima

I am a PACFA-accredited psychotherapist with 6 years and over 3000 hours of clinical experience. I completed my Master's degree in Counselling Psychology from Boston College, USA, where I was a Fulbright Scholar. I am currently based in Melbourne, and offer online therapy to clients based in Australia, North America, Europe, and the Middle East.

I am trained in Psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Mindfulness-based therapy. I have native proficiency in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi. My practice welcomes clients from diverse cultures, gender expressions, and belief systems.

I see the work of therapy as connecting with the full spectrum of our emotions--pleasant and unpleasant--and finding healthy ways to experience and express them. My approach is relational and embodied. I invite clients to explore early attachments and past experiences that subconsciously influence their current behaviour, and by doing so facilitate more agency in their present choices. Additionally, I rely on evidence-based techniques from psychology and neuroscience to create calm, regulation, and clarity of thought in mind and body.

I am trained in CBT and ACT, which I routinely integrate into my sessions.
