Meet Nayab

Nayab Tahir is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who brings a compassionate, culturally sensitive approach to her practice, offering a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their emotions and experiences. She believes that therapy is not only for moments of crisis but can also be a powerful tool for self-discovery, emotional regulation, and resilience-building. Driven by her personal mission to break the stigma surrounding mental health in the Southeast Asian community, Nayab was inspired to pursue a career in therapy. In her sessions, clients can expect a warm, non-judgmental environment where they feel truly heard and supported. She has a special passion for helping individuals who feel alone or misunderstood, guiding them toward healing and self-empowerment. If you’re seeking a therapist who will walk alongside you on your journey to mental well-being, Nayab invites you to reach out and begin that process together.
