Hora Zabarjadi Sar

I am a registered psychotherapist with a PhD in philosophy, working at the intersection of existential thought, trauma care, and cultural identity. My therapeutic approach is rooted in phenomenology and psychodynamic traditions, with a particular interest in how language, memory, and embodiment shape the human experience. I support individuals who are navigating complex relational histories, grief, intergenerational trauma, and experiences of cultural displacement. As a bilingual practitioner, I offer therapy in both English and Farsi, recognising the profound role that language plays in healing. For many clients from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds, speaking in their mother tongue is not just a comfort—it is a return to a world of meaning that is often lost in translation. My work seeks to honour this by offering therapeutic care that is both linguistically and culturally attuned. In addition to my clinical work, I host the podcast Philosophers in the Therapy Room, where I explore the intimate dialogue between philosophy and psychotherapy. Each episode opens space for reflection on themes such as loss, individuation, relational ethics, and the therapeutic encounter. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to creating spaces where people feel seen—not only in their suffering but also in their becoming.
