As a certified Jungian analyst (CGJI-Zürich/IAAP member) with +15 years of clinical experience in psychotherapy and psychiatry I am working in private practice in Berlin and online (in German, Persian & English L.)
I am an iranian medical doctor and accredited Jungian psychoanalyst (trained at the C.G. Jung Institute, Zürich) with a background in psychiatry and psychotherapy. After ca. seven years of clinical practice in Iran and since 2006 I have been living, studying and clinically working in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. During these years of clinical practice I have worked with clients with a wide range of psychological problems and from different cultural and social backgrounds. So, besides my psychotherapeutic work with the clients suffering diverse symptoms of psychic disorders (like anxiety, depression, addiction, etc.) as well as engaging with their existential questions considering the meaning of life, one important aspect of my clinical work has been the intercultural issues in psychotherapy. Due to my iranian background I’ve worked also with Farsi-speaking immigrants and refugees as well. I am a member of IAAP and Jung institute Berlin. Since 2021 I work psychotherapeutically in private practice and online and offer counseling for individuals in German, English and Farsi (Persian) languages.
Considering the Jungian concept of Individuation, I have been engaged in the question of the mutual relationship between ‘Individual and Collective’. This subject made also the main topic of my final thesis at the C.G. Jung institute Zürich. Since 2008 and parallel to my therapeutic work I have studied Philosophy, Religious Studies and Interdisciplinary Anthropology at the universities of Salzburg, Basel and Freiburg. In my private life I am interested in Cinematography, Music, photography and Literature.
Ich bin ein iranischer (persischer) Arzt und akkreditierter Jungscher Psychoanalytiker (ausgebildet am C.G. Jung Institut, Zürich) mit einem Hintergrund in Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie durch die Arbeit in verschiedenen Kliniken in Deutschland und der Schweiz. Ich biete Therapie für Einzelpersonen in Deutsch, Englisch und Farsi (Persisch) an.
For me an ideal therapeutic relationship is based on mutual understanding, clarity and a trustful atmosphere in the therapy room. In psychotherapeutic conversations I am intended to understand individuals in their whole existence and personality; it means, not only through their special individual characteristics, but also regarding their social, historical and cultural backgrounds. In this respect, the one’s relationships to others, to the world around and nature are considerable issues.
An analytical approach aims at remembrance, making a renewed connection to our inner world, (re-)knowing the forgotten deep wishes and living one’s life. Psychoanalysis intends to help individuals develop a deeper understanding and acceptance of themselves and find a renewed sense of their very own individual way in life. More than thinking, there are other psychic functions like: feeling (emotions), intuition and sensation as well as imagination (dreams, phantasies and creativity), which could be considered in a therapy to enable positive changes and development, especially in the times of crisis.
