Durafshan Ansari, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Durafshan Ansari is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a background in neuroscience, biochemistry, and behavioural studies. She works with adolescents (16+) and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD and neurodivergence, burnout, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm.

Durafshan takes a warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive approach to therapy, recognizing that each person's experiences, identities, and circumstances shape how they navigate the world. She draws from person-centred therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)-informed strategies, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and attachment-based approaches to support clients in developing greater self-understanding, emotional regulation, and healthier relationships.

She has a particular interest in supporting immigrants, people of colour, and individuals navigating cultural expectations, intergenerational experiences, and the complexities of balancing personal needs with external pressures. Her goal is to create a non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes at their own pace.
