She has experience working with personality disorders, dissociative disorders, and relational difficulties.

Rooted in a trauma-informed, client-centered, and relational approach, Souraya draws from a range of evidence-based therapies, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-based and psychodynamic frameworks. Her therapeutic style is shaped by both clinical training and lived experience, allowing her to meet clients with authenticity, empathy, and cultural awareness.

Souraya is passionate about helping clients deepen self-understanding, overcome emotional overwhelm, and cultivate a stronger sense of resilience, self-worth, and clarity. She believes in the power of the therapeutic relationship and is committed to creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing journey.

She provides individual therapy to teens and adults in-person at her Ottawa office and virtually across Ontario. Souraya offers services in English, French, and Arabic and is proud to support clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, sex workers, and single mothers.
