Hi! I an an MACP student and with a BSc in psychology and biology, and a certificate in trauma-informed support. I have several years of experience in supporting people of all ages through mental health challenges, and specifically supporting people with eating disorders. I am an immigrant who moved to Canada approximately 20 years ago, and I have strong connections to both Canadian and South Asian culture. I can provide therapy in Urdu and English.
I use a client-centred, strengths-based approach to help my clients. Often, we can be our own greatest critics, especially when we face tough situations. I aim to help my clients reverse unhealthy, stress-inducing self-talk and replace it with self-talk that calms them, enables them to reach their goals, and supports them in living the lives they want. Problems develop and evolve in contexts. I take a non-judgmental, empathetic, and supportive approach to explore the various factors that influence my clients’ behaviours, including childhood experiences, discrimination, personality, the quality of their relationships, and their life stage. This helps me deepen my clients’ self-understanding and help them create holistic, long-term change.

My educational and professional background in psychology, hospitality, pension administration, and project management provides me with a diverse range of experiences and a warm, balanced perspective. My experiences allow me to appreciate the complexities of different lifestyles and the challenges that may arise along the way.
As an Egyptian-Canadian, I recognize the hurdles people face in navigating life’s transitions and the resilience it takes to overcome them. I have learned that while everyone’s journey is unique, there are shared experiences that connect us all.

I strive to bring compassion, empathy, and collaboration into the therapeutic space, supporting individuals as they explore their strengths and coping strategies.

I believe that life holds many opportunities for joy, connection, and growth, even as individuals encounter challenges along the way. While difficult experiences can feel overwhelming, each person has an inherent capacity for healing, resilience, and meaningful change when supported with care and understanding.
My approach to counselling centers on creating a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. A strong therapeutic relationship is gently nurtured, allowing clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that feels safe and at a pace that is comfortable for them.
My therapeutic orientation is integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), person-centered therapy, and trauma-informed care, with interventions tailored to each client’s unique needs.
As a practicum student, I bring academic training and experience in crisis support through my volunteer role with the CMHA Distress Line and Inner City Mission. I remain committed to ethical, reflective practice and to supporting clients in building resilience and moving toward meaningful change.

Ludmila Yarin
Guided by compassion, integrity, and multicultural respect, I take a collaborative approach rooted in unconditional acceptance. I support adolescents and adults - both neurodivergent and neurotypical - who may feel stuck, struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship challenges, and are seeking meaningful change.
My journey into psychotherapy grew from the belief that healing extends beyond physical health to include the wounded psyche. I recognize how unprocessed emotions can manifest in the body and impact overall well-being. Having experienced the transformative power of self-discovery in my own growth, I strive to model and inspire that same possibility for clients.
I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tailoring each session to individual needs.
