Aby Yousefi

Aby S Yousefi is a counsellor based in Berlin who offers integrative, trauma-informed psychotherapy and relational support for adults. Aby S Yousefi’s work combines psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, somatic and existential approaches to help clients explore emotional distress, behavioural patterns and life transitions in a compassionate, embodied and client-centred space. The therapeutic focus is on understanding both present-day issues and underlying psychological dynamics to foster resilience, self-awareness and meaningful change.

Service

Aby S Yousefi provides individual counselling and psychotherapy for adults in person in Berlin and online. Sessions support people working with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, self-criticism, existential concerns, neurodivergence (including ADHD), burnout and stress, relationship and attachment difficulties, grief and loss, self-destructive patterns and support around life transitions. Aby S Yousefi integrates traditional talk therapy with somatic awareness, breathing practice, mindfulness and emotion-regulation tools; preparation and integration support for non-ordinary or psychedelic experiences are offered contextually within psychotherapy rather than as standalone psychedelic treatments.

Safety

Aby S Yousefi is a qualified counsellor trained in integrative and trauma-informed approaches, offering therapy within recognised ethical and professional practice standards. Sessions are conducted in a confidential, supportive setting that emphasises safety, client pacing and emotional regulation. Initial consultations help clarify client concerns and suitability of the approach before ongoing psychotherapy begins.

Care pathway

Clients begin by contacting Aby S Yousefi to describe their concerns and arrange an initial exploratory consultation. During this first meeting, Aby S Yousefi and the client clarify presenting issues, goals and therapeutic fit. If both agree to proceed, regular counselling sessions are scheduled (in person in Berlin or online) at an agreed frequency, with the therapeutic plan tailored and adapted over time according to the client’s needs and progress.
