Nazee Akbari

With more than twenty-three years of expertise in the mental health field, I am a proficient bilingual psychotherapist, holding a Doctorate-level qualification. I provide therapy services in both English and Farsi. Employing an integrative therapeutic approach, I tailor my methods to cater to the unique needs of each client. My diverse skill set includes proficiency in Humanistic, Psychoanalytic, existential and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. Specialising in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cross-Cultural therapy, I am also certified as an advanced level Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist.

In my role as a clinical supervisor, I assist students undergoing training and offer support to other colleagues in their professional practice.

In my capacity as a therapist, I aim to assist my clients throughout the therapeutic journey in a non-judgmental and non-prescriptive manner. I foster autonomy, encouraging clients to explore their strengths independently. By facilitating the discovery of their own capabilities and internal resources, I empower them to realise their full potential.

I offer therapeutic services to individuals, couples, and families, leveraging my extensive experience in addressing relationship problems, conflict resolution, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, anger management, stress management, confidence and self-esteem issues, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, HIV-related concerns, sexual abuse, bereavement, and addiction. My approach includes providing therapy through face-to-face and online sessions, accommodating varying durations such as short-term, medium-term, and long-term therapy.

The use of the title Dr in this directory listing relates to the member’s doctorate qualification. However, this does not imply a general medical qualification.
