Ms Riffat Yusaf
Registered Psychotherapist
“An experienced and competent Psychotherapist, having worked with diverse populations and ages who strive to provide non-judgmental help.”
About Me
I want our time together to be a place where you feel truly heard and understood, free from any judgement. With broad experience supporting people of all ages and backgrounds, I help individuals navigate life's unique challenges. We explore your concerns at your own pace, focusing on what feels right for you. This collaborative approach makes me a good match for anyone ready to openly address their experiences and find a way forward.
Approach
My years with diverse clients shape how I hold our sessions—curious, steady, and welcoming. I work with people in Ottawa and online, offering therapy in English, Hindi/Urdu and Punjabi, and I aim to keep sessions calm, predictable and respectful of your rhythm. We explore concerns through gentle questioning, practical coping skills and, when helpful, guided relaxation or focused techniques to ease anxiety, mood shifts and trauma-related symptoms. This way of working often fits people who want paced, respectful support to uncover clearer steps forward.
