Dr Nima Nowruzi, PhD

Clinical Psychologist

Verified

“Over 25 years of experience in psychotherapy and helping people to heal & transform and then, live, love, and work, at their most potentials.”

About Me

With over two decades in psychotherapy, I help individuals cultivate profound healing and personal transformation. My focus is supporting you to move beyond challenges. We unlock your full potential to live, love, and work at your best. Our sessions will integrate insights into practical strategies for your everyday life, fostering lasting change. This approach suits clients ready for deep, holistic well-being and a life lived to their fullest.

Approach

I believe healing and change happen through steady, practical work that moves at your pace. In sessions in Watford, Hertfordshire, or online in English or Farsi, I offer a calm, collaborative space where we can explore patterns and understand what may be contributing to your distress. We may draw on psychodynamic therapy to explore what’s underneath, alongside practical ways to feel safer after trauma, structured assessment when needed, and simple exercises to try between sessions. The aim is to turn insight into meaningful change in everyday life.
