Negar Issari

Negar is a Counsellor in Training completing her Master of Counselling Psychology at Adler University. She understands that reaching out often comes after a long time of carrying things quietly, such as overthinking, self doubt, anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeating. She offers a warm, steady, non judgmental space where clients can feel supported and understood.

Negar has long felt drawn to supporting others and has always wanted to become a counsellor. She strives to offer a therapeutic relationship where clients feel respected, emotionally supported, and truly understood, because when people feel safe, it becomes easier to explore what is really happening and move toward change.

Her primary approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Negar works collaboratively with clients to understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and to build practical tools that support real change in day to day life. Sessions may include working with unhelpful thought patterns, learning strategies to manage worry and stress, strengthening self compassion, and taking small steps toward healthier boundaries, communication, and self trust.

Negar is guided by person centred values such as empathy, genuineness, and acceptance. Having navigated immigration herself, she understands how starting over can affect identity and a sense of belonging. She offers counselling under ongoing clinical supervision and is committed to ethical, thoughtful, evidence based care. Negar offers therapy in English and Farsi. She approaches each client with warmth and humility, and feels privileged to support people as they work toward change
