About me

I'm a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, currently practicing under the supervision of a senior psychotherapist. My approach is relational and reflective, shaped by professional experiences in field research, therapy, collective care work and my own personal life. I guide my work based on the belief that mental health cannot be separated from the social and structural conditions in which we live.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
In therapy, I try to offer a space where you're not rushed into answers, but supported in asking difficult questions; about self, relationships, grief, desire, and survival. If you’ve been putting off therapy, you don’t have to wait for a “breaking point” to start. Many individuals I have worked with tell me that just having one consistent, safe space each week has helped them feel less overwhelmed, understand themselves more deeply, and make choices that align with who they truly are. I work with young adults, caregivers, students, and anyone navigating emotional pain or disorientation. My hope is to hold space with care, honesty, and a deep respect for the many ways people learn to carry what they’ve lived. My focus is not limited to symptoms and diagnostic labels. While a diagnosis can offer some initial recognition, or the comfort of knowing there’s a name for what you're feeling, it doesn’t always touch the root of suffering. It doesn’t tell us how you've come to feel the way you do, or what it means in the context of your life. Therapy, from this perspective, is not about fixing what’s broken, it’s about making space to feel, to question, and to come into a different kind of contact with oneself. My belief is that therapy is not a 'quick fix'. Hence, there should be enough time to build a safe and steady space together, one where you're not expected to perform, fix, or explain everything at once. It often begins not with immediate answers, but with curiosity, discomfort, and the space to speak freely. Over these sessions, we begin to listen together to what emerges, not only in what is said, but also in what is repeated, avoided, or left unsaid. If this resonates, send me a message to arrange your free introductory call. If you don't have an account here, that's completely alright, you can reach out to me at - chelsea.qafila@gmail.com I’d be glad to meet you.
